Linkfest: Teen Gets 'Awesome' Job -- Mayor!

Muskogee, Okla., has a fresh face in charge -- a very fresh face. John Tyler Hammons captured 70 percent of the vote this week to become the town's new mayor. (Remember Benazir Bhutto's 19-year-old son, who inherited the reins of her political party?)

It's the Ramble.

Oklahoma freshman named town's mayor/ "Crazy ants" causing crazy damage in Houston/ Gold thieves hit 11 JCPenney stores/ Record opium crop for funding resurgent Taliban
