Lazy Saturday

Another lazy link roundup:

• The USS Constitution defeated HMS Java 200 years ago today.  Follow the action at @1812now.
• Mickey Mouse is bad at committing suicide.
• Looking forward to Django Unchained. Tarantino on John Ford is worth the read.
• How has the UN failed Congo?
• The legal ins and outs of potential Syrian chemical weapons use.
• The US-India nuclear deal four years on.
• This is awesome.

Finally, the first LGM podcast is provisionally scheduled for publication the week of January 14, and will concentrate on “The Hobbit.” Updates as they come.
