These are my links for October 2nd:

• Craftzine.com blog: HOW TO – Candy Cane Sugar Scrub – Yum yum … ok you can't eat this (I don't think), but a great idea for some homemade Christmas gifts.
• Palin vs. Biden: How Sex May Change the Debate | LiveScience – Interesting research on how gender affects how we discuss (and debate) the issues.
• Bailout Ramen – "$700 billion USD will buy you 3.5 TRILLION (3,500,000,000,000) packs of ramen at 20 cents per pack, although I imagine you could get a better discount at that bulk rate."
