Kill the rotating home page links!

Just a suggestion to kill the annoying home page rotating links at the top of the page.  What is the point of showing these links that constantly move so that it is a game to try and catch one to read before it disappears, or to read several but can't because they are constantly vanishing?  It seems pointless to display links that constantly appear and disappear on a time scale that is far faster than they can be monitored visually ... much less read if they are of interest.
