At TID HQ, we make an effort to keep up with the latest in YA Lit (latest in fashion - not so much). So, when Liz read The Hunger Games trilogy over Thanksgiving, it was only a matter of time until Cailey jumped on the dystopian bandwagon. Why did it take us so long to delve into this wonderful world Suzanne Collins created? We don't even know! All we do know is that we devoured these books like they were sent to us in silver parachutes after days in the arena without food. And, as suckers for kick-ass female characters, we love Katniss in all her badass archery skill-rocking and conflicted emotion-repressing glory. We do, however, remain divided when it comes to Team Peeta vs. Team Gale.

Happy 252nd Birthday Robert Burns
A very happy Burns Nicht to all Scots and non-Scots around the world from us here at Tear It Down.
Have a glass o' whiskey, say a toast to the lads and a toast to the lassies, make sure you've no mouse in the house, intone the Selkirk Grace...
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae let the Lord be thankit.
...And celebrate the life of the greatest Scottish poet in history.

State of the Flag: A President Obama TID Exclusive
In honor of President Obama's second State of the Union address - and his general badass-itude - we decided it was high time for a (long overdue) Obama TID. How did we let this one slide for such a long time? Unlike many Americans, we never lost hope in our president - but, like many Americans, we were apparently complacent in not vocalizing our undiluted and enduring admiration for the leader of the free world.

The Unsung Cat Man, Part II
It's no secret: at TID, we love men who love cats. True, we've celebrated such glorious specimens of manhood before, but why stop there? There are so many more males whose great contributions to the world of ailurophilia have yet to be praised. So without further ado, we present to you the second installment of The Unsung Cat Man!
