For Real?

“Oh, Midnight Star

You can believe it if you read it in the weekly Mignight Star

They’re keeping Hitler’s brain alive inside a jar
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know”
– “Weird Al” Yankovic

Abandoned boy said to have been raised by a dog (Thanks, BoingBoing)

A Mowgli-like wild boy who appears to have been raised by a dog since he was three months old has been discovered living in a remote part of Siberia seven years after he was abandoned by his parents.

This kind of thing actually happens?!?

Electoral Nuttiness

“I know that among some in my own party, what I’m discussing would be considered
treasonous, but I’m not going to cheerlead us down the primrose path when I know
we’re being led in the wrong direction.” – South Charleston Mayor Richie Robb

Richie Robb may become only the ninth elector
to not vote for the popular winner in his state
. If this year’s election is
as tight as 2000 (It may, in fact, be tighter.), that one vote could make a big
difference. (Thanks, Electoral
Vote Predictor
)

Oprah Winfrey: agent of moral insanity.

“Oprah Winfrey, widely cited as one of the most influential and admired women in America, showed herself to be an agent of moral insanity when she featured a program celebrating young children seeking sex-change procedures and transgender identities. In one episode of ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ the true nature of our modern sexual confusion was made clear, and the broadcast should long be remembered as one of the most frightening hours in television history.”
