I have two original pieces by my new favorite artist.

Check out her work.

Your daily dose of Double Ell--with a side of Jack White

Portland, Oregon and sloe gin fizz 
If that ain't love then tell me what is

Mourners with caffeine jitters?

A Starbucks opens in a South Carolina funeral home.

This is either the greatest idea since cruise control on a road trip, or it's a sign of the apocalypse. Maybe both?

 Brought to you by the craziest state in the Union. (Anyone who has ridden on Interstate 95 along the Mid-Atlantic seaboard recognizes the gent in the pic.)

 

Enough to gag a maggot

The Freeh report chronicling Penn State's protection of pedophile Jerry Sandusky comes down.

The university and its top dogs--including Joe Paterno--showed "a total and consistent disregard…for the safety and welfare of Sandusky’s child victims."

Sandusky raped children FOR YEARS and the college turned its head.

I don't expect Penn State will have the decency to discipline the football program.

But oh god, how I wish someone with power had the guts to burn the PSU athletic complex  and salt the earth. And oh, raze that JoePa statue on the way out of dodge.

You've got mail!

Buzzfeed asks you to remember your first screen name.

I believe mine was "jrterriers," for my first partner's initials and the fact that we loved scruffy little go-to-ground dogs.

And yes, AOL was my first window to the World Wide Web, circa 1994.

Because you need a LOLcat

Mormons and money

Here's an interesting read about Mormons and money. 

I don't fear a Romney presidency because of the LDS. They've moved past cult status and now seem no crazier than other established religions (See: Catholic belief that they are eating an actual corpse during Communion and the Baptist insistence that a virgin popped out a baby). 

But boy, howdy, the Mormons know how to drop a nickel and pick up a quarter, a la multi-level marketing, sober living and a "focus on the family" (lower case lest I anger the Dobson gang).
