Another Monday Links Post

It looks like Monday is once again a good day for directing readers to stories recently in the news.  So without further ado, here we go:

From the Daily Mail, India has launched her first aircraft carrier.

From BBC News, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has won the presidential election in Mali.

Also from BBC News, gunmen in Nigeria have killed 44 people in a mosque.

From Fox News, if you're a man who likes to swim, and you live in or plan to visit the coastal areas of Denmark or Sweden, skinny dipping is not a good idea.

From Yahoo TV, racial discrimination claims in the lawsuit against Paula Deen have been dismissed.

From KABC, a rodeo clown has been permanently banned from the Missouri State Fair for wearing an Obama mask.

From Bizpac Review, a kid prays to the president.  Yes, that's right, to him, not for him.

From CNN, a sinkhole swallows part of a resort in Clermont, Florida.

From The Hill, the State Department has criticized Israel for approving the construction of new settlement homes.

From the Washington Post, Attorney General Eric Holder has announced that "low-level, nonviolent drug offenders with no ties to gangs or large-scale drug organizations" will no longer face mandatory minimum sentences.

And from the News Observer, on August 15, the Carolina Mudcats will put on Carlos Danger Night.  For that game, anyone with a mustache, either real or fake, will be sold a box seat for just $5.  So if you're in or near Zebulon, North Carolina, get out that mustache and enjoy some Minor League baseball.
