We Found It! No Really! Don't Click On That Other Link...

MISSING LINK FOUND! Trumpets the headline on Sky News.

But wait, says Denyse O'Leary. This find raises more questions than it answers...

Finally, the Wall Street Journal article, which suggests that some scientists believe that this 47 Million Year Old primate may--just may, mind you--serve as common ancestor of later primates. And that other scientists with differing evolutionary paradigms are not at all happy with that idea.

Just one example of misleading, agenda driven journalism, kiddies--and an illustration of how you may have to dig a little deeper if the first whiff doesn't smell right. Remember this the next time you read the next sensational story about the unearthing of a missing link fossil, or about some new discovery of a planet that's "just like Earth, and may support life," or some archaeologist who claims to have irrefutable proof that Jesus Christ was really a married donkey salesman with five kids.

Ta-ta for now.

Dom DeLuise, RIP

I have a lot of fond memories of Dom DeLuise making me laugh as a kid. He was a staple in several Mel Brooks films like Silent Movie and History of the World Part I. He's pretty much the only reason to ever watch the Cannonball Run again.

Here's my favorite Dom DeLuise role of all time (warning, a few naughty words):

Homey Don't Play That

When Jeb Bush made his idiotic remarks the other day about the GOP's need to "get beyond Reagan", I confess I had daydreams of Damon Wayons sneaking up behind Bush in his Homie the Clown costume and giving him a good whallop with that sock.

Little Caesars

In the late 80s early 90s, Little Caesars ran a series of ads that in my mind are the best commercials ever produced. Here's an example, and a link to more:
