I am a big fan of the Late Reviews and Latest Obsessions blog. The Critic manages to post every few days which is pretty good since each entry is an in depth look at a book or audio book. If you love to read then go check him out. (Although I think he went a bit too easy on The DaVinci Code)

A list of resignation speeches and letters throughout history.
Dear Mr. President:
As you are aware, the accusations against me cannot be resolved without a long, divisive and debilitating struggle in the Congress and in the Courts. I have concluded that, painful as it is to me and to my family, it is in the best interests of the Nation that I relinquish the Vice Presidency.
Accordingly, I have today resigned the Office of Vice President of the United States. A copy of the instrument of resignation is enclosed.
It has been a privilege to serve with you. May I express to the American people, through you, my deep gratitude for their confidence in twice electing me to be Vice President.
Sincerely,
SPIRO T. AGNEW

Interesting but make sure you take a look at this video if you watch nothing else from this site.

Extreme Ironing
I consider any ironing to be fairly dangerous, not to mention tedious (I can never get the whole shirt ironed without wrinkling one side while ironing the other).
