Regular Or Premium? (CraigC)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Frankfort man was arrested on drug trafficking charges early Sunday morning after he was reportedly pumping gas into an imaginary vehicle. According to the arrest report, Metro Police arrived at a gas station at First and Jefferson streets in Louisville and immediately smelled marijuana coming from Joshua L. Moore, who station clerks contend was filling up an imaginary vehicle. The more interesting question is whether he

Femifish [Dan Collins]

A fish species, which is all female, has survived for 70,000 years without reproducing sexually, experts believe. Species Mona marcotta.

Catholics: Racists [Dan Collins]

Mass-going, not Mass-going, they’ve crucifuckinfied the Obamessiah in Pennsylvania, the primitive bastards. Strangely, though, many of them expressed the sentiment (apart from Thy Will Be Done) that it would be nice if Thy Will meant that we would have the first African Pope, who might do for Africa what John Paul II had done for Eastern Europe.

Punxsutawney pHill [Dan Collins]

Stephen Green: Think of Clinton as Punxsutawney Phil — If she comes out tonight and sees a ten-point margin, then get ready for six more weeks of campaigning. This is why I turn to Stephen and Karl for political punditry.  I didn’t even realize that he was a beaver.

Nuclear Green [Dan Collins]

Glenn Reynolds had a piece this morning in the NY Post about alternative energy sources, particularly nuclear. I know where it needs to happen first. Haiti’s natural resources are spent. Malthus’s thesis has come to life there, to death. As long as there’s any value to it, however marginal, given the poverty, there’s going to be someone willing to burn whatever’s available for fuel. What’s the solution? I think it’s

Why we don't spaz out over early exit polls and returns [Karl]

The negativity of the Pennsylvania Democratic campaign tarnished both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to exit poll results. However, Pennsylvania is on its way to the record turnout that election officials have been predicting for weeks, according to poll workers from across the state. Because negative campaigning turns people off, you see. (h/t Memeorandum.)

Percy Sledge Addresses Wafflegate [Dan Collins]

When a man eats a waffle Can’t keep his mind on nothing else He’ll trade the world For the good thing he’s found If it’s bad he can’t taste it It cannot smell wrong Turn his back on reporters If they thwart him then

Iron Man is coming out; so is Robert Downey, Jr. [Karl]

As the May 2nd release date for Iron Man approaches, the New York Times profiled the rehabbed Robert Downey, Jr., who talks about Tony Stark’s demons and ultimately, his own: “It has struck me lately that I don’t have to talk about last century at all,” he said with a dismissive wave. But he does so, obliquely. “I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always
