Wicked, wicked boring

...for the Donald:



Spotted on Facebook.

A mash-up of two of my favorite television shows when I was growing up:

...it's Peeps Show V, the Washington Post's peep diorama contest. And, since it's the Post, the first one in the gallery is a Peepish re-enactment of the Chilean miner drama.

I'm also digging the TSA Peep shows, Angry birds Peeps, and InPeeption.

The French law prohibiting face veils for women goes into effect now, and two veiled women were among a group arrested today. The arrests were not for wearing the veil, but for having an illegal protest march (nobody applied for a permit). According to the BBC:

Under the law, any woman - French or foreign - walking on the street or in a park in France and wearing a face-concealing veil such as the niqab or burka can be stopped by police and given a fine.

It is a small fine, but symbolically this is a huge change, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.

Guidelines issued to police say they should not ask women to remove their veils in the street, but should escort them to a police station where they would be asked to uncover their faces for identification.

The French government says the face-covering veil undermines the basic standards required for living in a shared society and also relegates its wearers to an inferior status incompatible with French notions of equality

So...that leads me to ask:

[Poll #1728977]

...especially Geri and Janice...this is the stuff of madness.

This five-week-old cheetah is clearly going to be the king of the Busch Gardens someday.

Perhaps he meant it as a joke, but I do not find presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee's comments about wanting to force Americans "at gunpoint" to listen to David Barton's views on the United States as a "Christian nation" at all amusing. In fact, I'm deeply troubled by them, but not at all surprised that the group he spoke to, "Rediscover God in America" conference organizers United in Purpose, would handily edit Huckabee's comments out of the version of the speech they made publicly available.

And I'm quite grateful that People for the American Way managed to capture the full speech before it was edited and provide us with this:

ThinkGeek has provided us with the ultimate treat: lightsaber popsicles. And I'm so behind that. (And I'm wondering if this will be the April Fool product they'll eventually actually create and sell. Or will it be the Angry Birds Pork Rinds?)

If you have "instant search" on in Google, try searching for either helvetica or comic sans and watch what happens.

The past tense of "lead" is "led." If you are pronouncing "lead" as "led," you are referring to the metal.
