This just in: two nobodys in a college somewhere have bad manners and a distinct lack of good judgment! What does this mean for Teh Lefft?
And next on Fox, Glenn Beck tells us why Obama is the anti-Christ ! Then, Sean Hannity hosts a discussion: "Obama: the worst fascist ever, or just an ordinary blood-sucking alien devil-raping shit-monkey?"
Stay tuned!
More proof that the wingnut zillionaires, the Koch bros, are evil: they make a brand of toilet paper, sold only in Ireland apparently, called ... KittenSoft. Kittens? No, that's not a texture you should be thinking of when you use toilet paper. Eeew.

Here are two maps:
One of these is a map of the 20 states with the highest SAT scores for 2009. The other is the map of the states where ten percent or fewer students took the SAT in 2009.
Can you guess which is which ?

The enormous corpus of email leaked from federal security contractor HB Gary following Anonymous's hacking of the company's servers continues to deliver compromising payloads.
This time, it's internal emails detailing the creation of "persona management" software to simplify the process of pretending to be several people at once online, in order simulate widespread support for a point of view -- astroturfing automation software. The software appears to have been developed in response to a federal government solicitation seeking automated tools for astroturfing message boards in foreign countries.
Persona management entails not just the deconfliction of persona artifacts such as names, email addresses, landing pages, and associated content. It also requires providing the human actors technology that takes the decision process out of the loop when using a specific persona. For this purpose we custom developed either virtual machines or thumb drives for each persona. This allowed the human actor to open a virtual machine or thumb drive with an associated persona and have all the appropriate email accounts, associations, web pages, social media accounts, etc. pre-established and configured with visual cues to remind the actor which persona he/she is using so as not to accidentally cross-contaminate personas during use.
I really love the phrase, "the deconfliction of persona artifacts." I really hate when my persona artifacts conflict, and it's just so hard to know who I'm supposed to be sometimes! Automating this sounds like a great idea.
Plastic trays used at shopping mall food courts are as dirty as a gas station toilet seat, an investigation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. found.
The CBC took swab samples from trays in three Vancouver-area malls and had them analyzed by the University of British Columbia.
"We saw as many bacteria on some food trays as we saw on a (gas station) toilet," university microbiologist Bob Hancock told the broadcaster.
This is why I don't go to malls. Maybe.
Long renowned for pioneering extreme sports such as bungee-jumping and heli-skiing, New Zealanders are now pushing culinary boundaries by serving up shots of horse semen to iron-stomached food lovers.
The equine delicacy will be on the menu at the annual Wildfoods Festival in the South Island town of Hokitika next month, along with other gastronomic delights such as raw scorpions, chocolate-covered beetles and deep-fried grubs.
"The idea is you'll have as much zizz as a stallion for a week afterwards," Christchurch racehorse breeder Lindsay Kerslake, who came up with the semen surprise, told Fairfax Media.
Oi.
