Just wishing everyone a merry Christmas, but I also wanted to say a few brief things about the musical genius the world just lost with James Brown’s passing. He lived life as passionately as he played his music, and that’s saying a hell of a lot because he may have been the best showman of [...]

Today is Global Orgasm Day. You know what you have to do. Link from MR.
From CNN: Flora, a pregnant Komodo dragon living in a British zoo, is expecting eight babies in what scientists said on Wednesday could be a Christmas virgin birth. Flora has never mated, or even mixed, with a male dragon, and fertilized all the eggs herself, a process culminating in parthenogenesis, or virgin birth. Other lizards [...]
….may not always be death but they probably involve something like this: Twelve-year-old Beatrice returns from the fields with small animals she’s caught for dinner. Her mother, Elizabeth, prepares the meat and cooks it on a grill made of three stones supporting a wood fire. It’s just enough food, she says, to feed her starving [...]

I hate Drake. From the Agitator. A list of the ten most dangerous toys of all time. Too bad there was Bag O’ Glass or Chainsaw Teddy on there. “Look how big that lamp is; that’s huge!” If you get that (or don’t) go here for more. Whitney Houston propositioned by a drunk French singer. [...]
Ready for a bite, Jonah Goldberg? It seems that in February 2005, Goldberg attempted to make a $1,000 bet with Jaun Cole that “Iraq won’t have a civil war, that it will have a viable constitution, and that a majority of Iraqis and Americans will, in two years time, that the war was worth it.” [...]
I have heard Professor Walter Block (Economics, Loyola New Orleans) tell a joke designed to point out the inefficiency of socialism that begins with something like “If when I die I go to hell, I hope go to socialist” and then proceeds to list the nasty things socialist hell can’t do because it lacks the [...]
