  • And the Bum Steer of the Year Is . . . (Wendy Davis)

    Texas Monthly ^ | December 10, 2014 | Texas Monthly Staff
    as 2014 the year of the Un–Bum Steer? So many of our usual suspects behaved themselves (more or less) that we wondered if something was amiss. Texas A&M didn’t do anything too Aggie-like, the Dallas Cowboys were actually in the playoff hunt for a change, and Matthew McConaughey minded his p’s and q’s while picking up an Oscar along the way. Thankfully, politics didn’t let us down. Governor Rick Perry was indicted by a grand jury for abusing his power and coercing a public servant, and he celebrated having his mug shot taken with a jaunt to buy frozen custard....
  • How To Take Photos Of Earth While Whizzing At 17,000 MPH

    12/11/2014 2:47:51 PM PST · by BenLurkin · 23 replies
    When you’re flying above Earth in a spaceship or space station, taking a clear picture below is more than a point-and-shoot job. As NASA astronaut Don Pettit explains in this video, you need to account for the motion of your little craft to get the best pictures below. And Pettit should know, being a photographer who captured many stunning timelapses in space. “Apart from everything else an astronaut does on orbit, photography is actually part of our job,” Pettit said in the video. “We take pictures of Earth and the surroundings of Earth, the upper atmosphere. These pictures, in themselves,...

    ... To say that jokes about Canada are made out of envy is far too simplistic. Canada has blazed its own trail through history, and most US Americans respect it for that. After all, if the worst jokes you get are about all the snow, your friendliness, and the uniforms your police wear, you must be doing something right! ...

  • Toddler vs. Apple iPad Air 2: Stress Test — with Video

    CNN Money ^ | December 10, 2014: 9:23 AM ET | By Erica Fink
    Classic battles: Ali vs. Frazier. Yankees vs. Red Sox. Toddler vs. iPad? Well, not exactly. CNNMoney gave two nursery school classmates a brand new iPad Air 2 and let them loose in our studios for a (very) non-scientific stress test. Good news for iPad owners: You can literally throw the device from the top of a 12-foot staircase and see it survive. (A note: CNN's newsrooms have a thin layer of carpeting, but the iPad endured nearly a dozen such plunges.) We mistakenly thought that when the toddlers grew tired, we'd see how well the tablet withstood a full-blown tantrum....
  • Is President Obama’s ‘glass houses’ scripture reference in the Bible? Not exactly.

    The Washington Post ^ | Dec. 10, 2014 | Abby Ohlheiser
    President Obama referred to the Bible during a speech on immigration Tuesday in Nashville. But there was a problem: Strictly speaking, one of the lines he cited appears nowhere in scripture. "The good book says, don't throw stones in glass houses," the president said. "Or," he added, "make sure we're looking at the log in our eye before we are pointing out the mote in other folks' eyes."
  • Senator Feinstein and the Democrats have issued a list of recommendations how to treat detainees.

    Democrats Senate investigation of the CIA’s secret interrogations of terrorism suspects renders a strikingly bleak verdict on a program launched in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack in which 3000 people were killed, describing arbitrary violence. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chairwoman of the intelligence committee, writes in the report that it is her "personal conclusion that, under any common meaning of the term, CIA detainees were tortured." Senator Feinstein and the Democrats have issued details how we should treat the killers of 3000 people on 911, who use beheadings, rapes, murders, mutilation and terrorist attacks as standard...

In this group, it's Junior, the French Bulldog. But what he lacks in pitch and timing, he more than makes up for with passion.

  • Ruble crisis lends itself to Russian jokes

    washingtonpost.com ^ | December 9, 2014 | Karoun Demirjian
    MOSCOW — As the falling ruble and depressed oil prices push Russia’s once-booming economy into the red, ordinary Russians are doing everything they can to lighten the mood – with black humor. Dark humor is as much a Russian specialty as fine caviar, perfected during the more difficult years of the Soviet Union and over centuries of bleak, sunless winters. Russians routinely reach their peak joking creativity when times are their worst – and the current ruble-and-oil-and-sanctions-driven economic crisis is proving the ideal muse to inspire such irreverent expression. “What do Russian President Vladimir Putin, the price of oil, and...

HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T PLAY. Secondly, look at the eyes on close up....
  • Divine Intervention for FSU?

    12/07/2014 6:25:06 AM PST · by 2harddrive · 48 replies
    Vanity
    Several media pundits have opined over the last several months that it almost appears that divine intervention is playing a role in the continuing close, come-from-behind victories that Florida State University has achieved this season. If so, would that be a valid reason for the Football Playoff Committee to exclude FSU from the Top Four? After all, Alabama would not want to play America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys, so they SURELY would not want to play God's Team, no?

As you can see from the look of joy and mischief on his face it was well worth the effort :)
