Bailout $$$ for the Philly Inquirer? →
Government money to the media? Splendid idea. Surely the media could remain impartial after being bought off.
And if you believe that, check out these sweet ebay auctions going on right now.

Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure →
“This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed,” Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
“Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change,” he added.
After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly...

What kind of day are YOU having?

I get on the elevator to go to lunch. When I reach the lobby, I stick my right hand into my pocket and notice that my wallet isn’t there.
Crap! I must have left it upstairs on my desk.
I hop back on the elevator and head back up. I reach my desk.
Son of a bitch, it’s not there. What did I do with it?
Oh there it is. In my left hand.

Can’t someone just put these two products together, so we have a blanket with sleeves that we can use to mop up our spills?

Seriously, why hasn’t anyone thought of this yet? Oh wait. I did.

Starting this week, telemarketers will be given cell phone numbers. You will be charged for these calls. You can call X-XXX-XXX-XXXX to get on the National Do Not Call list.

I hate it when the bar of soap starts to near the end of its life-cycle. I never know what to do with it. Do I place it on top of the new bar of soap and hope that they fuse together? I hate to do that though because then it looks like the new bar of soap has a tumor or something and it’ll be a day or two before it looks normal again. I always end up just cleaning myself repeatedly until...

answer please.
Ok, I’ve taken a poll from office mates. 1 person says I emphasize the “bell” 1 person says I emphasize the “ta” 1 person can’t detect any emphasis I’m a statistical nightmare.
I always emphasize the “Taco.” Because that’s what I’m there for. I don’t have any use for bells. Just hit me up with some tacos.
Awesome. Well...

The fine print on torture
fakebarackobama:
I officially banned the use of torture by the government against enemy combatants; I believe it to be the most moral and humane policy approach to this however. That being said, I reserve the exclusive right to authorize Rahm Emanuel to accomplish his goals “by any means necessary”—a Jack Bauer clause, if you will, in the executive order.
Somethings are just too important to...

The new Tumbr Radar sucks
Hard.
It’s impossible to actually read anything without clicking on them, which I suppose might be good for their hit counts, but they won’t be getting the hits from me. I’m not going through all that rigmarole only to find out whats on the other side is useless to me.
But wait, I thought change=good? You mean there’s bad kinds of change too? Huh. ‘Magine that.
MRC is one of my favorite tumblrs
I like him. He always has something fun to share with just the right amount of snark. Bravo, Culbreath!
Keep up the good work!
And fewer than 50 followers? SHAME on you, Tumblr!
