As soon as your doctor says you've got parasites in your body, you don't need to hear any more details. They're all horrible, right? How can it get worse than little tiny worms or something feeding on your insides?
Actually, it can get way, way worse. As it turns out, there's nothing in nature more creative than a parasite. And we don't mean that in a good way. For instance...

meh, not a single one of those can vote. I can find 50 more terrifying parasites in a 3 block radius from my office.
Sssh! I’m still in denial.
It’s being appealed. And will probably go the same way the Florida decision did. You can’t have different standards used for different precincts.
Whomever put “rapingmychildhood” in the keywords must have had a very unusual childhood.
JPB understands the effectiveness of the double-tap.
I’m less worried about the court battle than the political backlash. Coleman’s right, but that won’t stop the MSM from making him out as a “Sore Loserman.” The late-night comics will eat out on this for months. H*ll, Coleman might drop out to avoid destroying his career like Algore did.
Still, I hope he stays in. In a lose-lose battle, I prefer the option that gets us a Senate seat.

Algore DID destroy his career and he made a new career out of it. He’s won a grammy, an Oscar, and a Nobel Peace Prize since.
Yeah!
Nature cannot come up with a parasite worse than a politician...well maybe a few ..
And admirably so. Don't get me wrong; I'd be plenty freaked out at a bot fly infestation, but Cordyceps...argh!
These things are 3 inches of hell. Not the spit flesh destroying venom at eyes, which contains a pheremone to get the attention of its 300 pissed off sisters. They attack in swarms and sting repeatedly with more venom than bees.
Oh, I read about the Japanese hornets. Once again, the term “nightmare fuel” comes to mind.
The disappearing pencil bit is one of the best character-establishing bits in film history, IMHO. Not only was it well written, not only did Ledger do it beautifully, but it managed to do something surprising with a character that’s ben around for about 80 years.
Contrast that with the characters of Jim Carrey’s hyper-corny Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones giggling idiot Two Face.
*This* version of “Batman” is what it was supposed to be...*dark*.
My vote would go to obama supporters and democrats.
If that isn’t common knowledge, that Ledger rocked The Joker, then 2+2=5. His physical body was perfect for The J - his long legs. They are not bringing back The Joker in the Bale plays Batman, series. Playing The J was effecting Ledgers’ psyche and he seriously needed time off. He was only on screen for an entire 20 min(give or take).Nicholson,with his grandiose ego,stated,”I tried to tell him.” Nicholson bombed! The world lost a very talented actor and the world will truly miss him as THE Joker! There is a 99 & 99/100% of a chance, they will ever find anyone to play The Joker again. I triumph the man who does.
