WTF, indeed.

The National Poo Museum has opened in Britain, and organizers hope the concept doesn't stink.

Or as the article says, "We're #2"! I bet someone had fun writing this article and I also bet it was written by a man. Call it a hunch.

Loony Birds Of A Feather

Ron Paul, Glenn Beck, and Osama bin Laden have more in common than you might think.

Too soon?

Last week, George Mason University's law school announced that it was renaming itself "the Antonin Scalia School of Law," in honor of the late, not-so-great Supreme Court jurist.

It would have been better known as ASSoL, but Twitter ruined it and now GMU is changing the name. Damn!

Life In These United States

Tennessee edition:

On Monday the Tennessee Senate voted to make the Bible the state’s official book, even though the state’s attorney general argued that it conflicts with the state constitution, which says, “no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religious establishment or mode of worship.” That seems pretty clear cut.

State lawmakers recently made a .50-caliber sniper rifle the official state rifle.

Bitter people clinging to guns and religion, indeed.

The aim of the 1%:

Ritual human sacrifice played a powerful role in the construction and maintenance of stratified societies, according to new research.

The more egalitarian the society, the less likely it was that a human being would be chosen to die for it; the more stratified and rigid, the more likely someone from the lower orders would be selected as a sacrificial victim, scientists from Australian and New Zealand report.

Forward into the past!

Wow

Not only did the Supremes get it right, they got it right unanimously.

Buy The Book!

If you look closely you just might find me in there.

More importantly, you'll find all of your First Draft favorites from the last decade. T'anks Athenae for all the hard work!

Well Then

It would appear that a whole buncha world leaders have been very naughty, indeed.

Perhaps we should be planning to shock-and-awe some tax havens. Look out, Cayman Islands!

See The Majestic Glaciers And Volcanoes Of Rhode Island!

The annals of PR:

A botched promotional campaign for Rhode Island that included a video that showed Reykjavik, Iceland, rather than the state capitol of Providence, has led to the resignation of a top marketing official, Governor Gina Raimondo said.

Fun fact: the Rhode Island phone book lists people alphabetically by first name because the surnames change with each generation!

Makes Sense

We're being forced to deal with the possibility of Donald Trump running the country because people like Donald Trump aren't allowed to run the country anymore.

Can't argue with that.
