- Bless the Internet, for its brings us adorable pictures of Marines in Afghanistan taking care of cute little kittens (and, for that matter, cute little kittens taking care of Marines in Afghanistan).
- Perhaps for when they are no kittens available, there's an app to help stress soldiers breathe.
- How did alleged Wikileaks leaker Bradley Manning get access to so many sensitive military and diplomatic documents? It seems the Army may have overlooked re-writeable CDs for one thing, and for another, Manning practiced the secret art of diversionary lip-syncing.
- Wikileaks on Twitter says that if Manning indeed did what they military has charged him with, it would make him "the Daniel Ellsberg of our times."
- Democrats indulge in a little civic creativity with a #WhyIVote hashtag.
- Somehow overlooked in yesterday's Cache mention of Fast Company's list of the "100 Most Creative People in Business" were two more government servants: Congressional Oversight Panel chair/bailout watchdog Elizabeth Warren (#3) and White House open government lead Beth Simone Noveck (#35). (One wonders how you go about differentiating between, say, a #35 and a #34 on such a qualitative measure but if they couldn't, they wouldn't make a list, now would they.)
- "Amalvert Derek artists up buddy. Call me when you get a chance. I'm so my lunch break." And other slightly off Google Voice transcripts.
- NYC's MTA's latest subway data set includes critical information on where the exits are. (Background here.)
- And Andrew Breitbart of Big Government fame thanks White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs for the tweeted link love. Why would Gibbs chose Breitbart's site, of all places, to get his AP story link? Slip? Strategic? Leave theories in the comments.
