Link Love: Late Night Last Call Link Love

I started this blog post this morning and thought, foolishly, that I would have time in the middle of the day to finish. HAHAHAHA! So, in the spirit of  my guilty pleasure drunk snack, this is the Late Night Last Call (Jalepeno Popper) Edition of Link Love. So, grab your favorite bag of snacks and enjoy the Year-End Wrap Ups and some potentially hot button posts.

Hope you have a grand (and safe) New Year’s Eve. See you on the flipside!
