OOOPS! The Dozen Links That Our Blog Forgot

It may not look like it, but it actually takes about five moving parts to make YJDGU work.

• del.icio.us to help us collect links
• Flickr to provide the nifty, updated-as-it-happens banner above
• Feedburner to help us syndicate this blog
• FeedBlitz to deliver your email updates every morning
• TypePad to put the results up on the blog hosted at http://youjustdontget.us/

Last week, two of those parts -- del.icio.us and TypePad -- failed to talk to one another. We saw this problem in various places on the Internet.

As such, twelve links that we wanted to share with all 35 of you didn't make it out there.

Breaking News: Hillary WASN'T LYING! Bosnia gunfire footage discovered... (PG: Hey... When I get it wrong, I'm man enough to admit it. Oh, wait...)

Get ready to pay $35 for movie tickets ("A group of investors have partnered to bring luxury cinemas to the U.S. from Australia and they think Americans are ready to plunk down $35 for a movie ticket.")

Thanks to Ann Glynn!

Who Said This About The U.S. Military And Hollywood?

First, read this:

It's not the policies and the bills; it's how we treat our military. It's how we treat our young men or women who go out there, at 18 years old, and risk their lives. There's no fame, they're certainly not getting rich, and a lot of them are dying, simply for something they believe. By the way, it's a volunteer army, all volunteer. The fact that anybody would have a f**king thing to say about that is astonishing. And the VA hospital that Sophie and I went to, it's about an hour and a half down the road from Malibu. These morons can't get up off their asses and out of their $10 million homes, get into their SUVs, and drive down to the VA hospital just to say, "Hey, what you do matters." Doesn't matter what they think of President Bush. It matters that 18-year-olds are getting out there and risking their lives. I didn't see a single person there. That's the most embarrassing thing. I'm furious at Hollywood.
