Thank you so much for linking to my Casey Anthony post!
I'd like to point out for anyone who might be interested in reading it that the link is actually http://psysociety.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/casey-anthony/ . For some reason when it was first published, the URL mistakenly had it listed as a date 4 days earlier, and unfortunately when I changed the date it changed the permalink. Sorry for the broken link!
