One might suggest this

Quote of the Day
"The suggestion might be that there's some hard-wiring there that can interfere with the average man's ability to interact on deeper levels with really hot looking stranger women in bikinis," he said.

State of the Union

I think Karl says it best. I have been saying that a lot lately.

State Of The Union Verdict: BOOOO
The vast majority of Americans did not cheat. We did not lie about our incomes, we did not take out dangerous mortgages, were did not participate in selling garbage loans to Americans by deceiving them so we could skim off thousands in fees and we did not participate in this garbage.

We, however, are the ones who are getting hosed - we're being asked to pay higher taxes, either directly (ourselves) or indirectly (as when "the rich" are taxed more they will not hire as many people - that would be those of us who need jobs!)

The Banksters are getting bailed out, the irresponsible or even outright cheaters are going to be able to refinance their mortgages (despite what Obama said tonight, Sheila Bair said otherwise - there will be no verification that fraud was not involved in the mortgages they refinance) and not one prosecution is being planned for those who screwed us.

Who are these people?

We've discovered this new genre of video on YouTube: people who film their friends trying to touch or otherwise play with rabid animals.

No, I'm not going to bother posting a link -- I'll let you have the enjoyment of finding out how much stupidity there is in the world for yourself.

For educational reasons

Our country needs more libraries. I don't know why the government would do this.
