  • Charles Barsotti | New Yorker cartoonist, 80

    Philly.Com ^ | June 22, 2014
    Charles Barsotti, 80, whose clean-lined cartoons, often depicting dogs, kings, or overbearing businessmen, were a staple of the New Yorker magazine for decades, died June 16 at his home in Kansas City, Mo. The cause was brain cancer, his daughter Wendy Barsotti said. In Mr. Barsotti's world, an adult dog offers this suggestion to a puppy: "My advice is to learn all the tricks you can while you're young."
  • Has Hillary Clinton let slip that Chelsea is expecting a boy?

    the telegraph ^ | June 22, 2014 | Rosa Prince
    has apparently let slip the sex of her unborn grandchild after referring to the baby as “him” during an interview. The former First Lady, New York senator and possible 2016 presidential candidate will become a grandmother in the autumn, when daughter Chelsea is due to give birth to her first child. Asked what hopes she had for the baby, Mrs Clinton told the Observer she wanted the child to feel: “optimistic, positive, can-do. That it was really up to him.” Following her apparent slip of the tongue, she insisted, however, that she was just using the male pronoun to cover...
  • Vegetarian Water - For The Truly Ethical

    Science 2.0 ^ | Jun 20 2014 | Hank Campbell
    Did you know that when you drink water, you are not really being vegetarian? I didn't either. It turns out that when you drink water, it could have microbes and other small stuff - well, I knew that part. What I did not know is that viruses and bacteria and such were considered animals to vegetarians. So even if you purify water by boiling it and killing the germs, you are still drinking dead animals. What to do for truly ethical water drinkers? Now you have the solution, the Prestige Lifestraw. I guess this is real - it's hard to...

  • ISIS Captures Non-existent Chemical WMDs

    It was announced today that ISIS had captured non-existent chemical WMDs from the retreating Iraqi forces. Administration officials and MSM administration pimps and pimpettes were appalled by the discovery of the non-existent WMDs and were working on a storyline and short film that indicated a right wing conspiracy was responsible for smuggling them into Iraqi. Indications are that the non-existent chemical WMDs, from the Bush era, include sarin, VX, mustard gas and other toxic chemical weapons. Administration experts stated that there is probably no danger from these non-existent chemical WMDs as they have been encased in concrete and the ISIS...

  • Okay, It Turns Out That Jumping A Car Carrier Isn’t As Easy As You’d Think (Language Warning)

    TTAC ^ | June 19, 2014 | Jack Baruth
    It’s been an important part of who knows how many stunt-filled car movies: the jump over the car carrier. Now, thanks to alcohol, we know how it would work in real life. The official report is surprisingly free of words like “bad-ass” and “awesome” but some news stories on the incident do contain the word “impaired”. This is pretty much how I always figured a jump over a car hauler would work. Unlike bicycle or motorcycle stunt jumping, the rotation of a car that’s doing a big jump is set entirely by the conditions of launch and can’t be changed...

    The DOJ today requested that Congress appropriate an additional 250 million dollars for a new computer system. DOJ stated the need for the new computer system was caused by an unplanned and unexpected need. Eric (the Corrupt) Holder stated the new computer system was needed to initiate, document and process the tidal wave of pardons expected in the next two years. With the possible loss of the Senate in the fall and the possibility of impeachment of himself necessitated the speeding up of the pardon process. The PIMPS (Pardon Important Management Progressives System) is expected to be able to handle...

    The O.J. Simpson car chase had its share of memorable moments. For you, maybe it was the absurdity of a white Ford Bronco leading a phalanx of police well under the speed limit, or the knowledge that Simpson had a gun to his head, or Al Cowlings telling police "You know who I am, goddammit" or just the realization that O.J. Simpson had probably indeed killed two people. But don't sleep on the ludicrous brilliance of a Howard Stern fan somehow making it onto the air.

    Hey, young adults, living at home with Mom and Dad isn’t the end of the world — if you follow the right advice. As it goes, reports the U.K.’s Daily Mail, nearly 30 percent of adults under age 35 are living at home with their parents. Why? Well, the economy continues to sputter along, producing few entry-level jobs that allow young college graduates to get their careers underway. And thanks to soaring tuition costs, there is the record amount of college-loan debt that young people are carrying. Nearly 37 million young Americans owe more than $1 trillion in student-loan debt...

    Retired Texas Vet | 6-16-14 | Retired Texas Vet
    Hillary Clinton (aka Mrs Slick Willy) today explained the extent of them being "dead broke" and how they adapted. Hillary stated that Bill (aka Slick Willy) used to hang out at the Salvation Army Store to pick up the used clothes that Slow Joe Biden brought in for tax deductions. The well used suits were tailored by the talented Hispanic maid into the famed Hillary pant suits. The under shorts were usable by Slick Willy once the skid marks were bleached down and dyed over by the maid. Chelsea was signed up for the "free meals" programs at her private...
