A seven-year-old boy in Canberra, Australia, broke into an outback zoo in order to feed the crocodile. The boy was caught on Alice Springs Reptile Center’s security cameras, as he fed a turtle, four Western blue-tongue lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devil lizards, and an adult female Spencer’s goanna to a 440 pound saltwater croc named “Terry”. The footage also showed the smiling kid bludgeoning another blue tongue lizard and two more thorny devils to death. Center Director Rex... Read Full Story
Palin keeps talking about her home state with obvious pride. “The way we do it in Alaska” is a line that, I’m sure, many other Alaskans are entirely tired of hearing. She’s not necessarily the best ambassador for intelligent people, and although I’m sure many Alaskans are proud of her (her family, for instance) I’m equally convinced some of them can’t wait for her to disappear.
Still, thanks to Sarah Palin, we’re all curious about the northern state, and some of us wonder what Alaska did... Read Full Story
Tonight, after 6:30 pm, Sarah Palin will be speaking at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska. Since 1964, the State of Nebraska has voted for a GOP candidate every single time, is therefore known as an archetypical red state, with practically no hope for a Democrat to ever gain any ground. Republican candidates don’t visit very often, because they consider Nebraska an easy win. Still, suddenly we have become a battleground state. Why? It’s due to the way electoral votes are counted, which... Read Full Story
OJ Simpson was found guilty on all 12 counts, as was his accomplice Steward; he will spend the next month in county jail and then come back for his verdict. He will face a minimum of 15 years for the kidnapping charge, and 1-2 years each for the other 11 counts, which means he faces a minimum sentence of 26 years. There will, of course be an appeal, but it is likely that the curtain has finally fallen for the 61-year-old football legend. He is being held without bail; final verdict will be... Read Full Story
The best thing, perhaps, that can be said for Sarah Palin’s performance yesterday is that she didn’t entirely screw it up. There were no major cringe moments, and for most of it she stared into the camera with confidence. Still, there was too much dodging of questions, she never identified her own achilles heel, and there was too much folksiness. I don’t like folksiness; I want my candidates to speak normal English, and lay off the “you betcha’s” and “gosh-darn-its”. The way she talks, my... Read Full Story
Looking forward to the debate tonight? Yeah, me too. There’s been a lot of talk in the media about how Senator Biden should conduct himself. He can’t be condescending, he can’t be sexist, he has to watch his words or the Re-snob-licans will attack him for not treating Palin with the respect she deserves.
Excuse me? First of all, in order to get respect, you have to earn it. I have not seen or heard Palin do that. Second, Biden doesn’t watch his words. That’s what makes him Biden. And... Read Full Story
Sure; technically, not a pet. But still: Cyril the squirrel (yes, there is a squirrel under there) lives in California and apparently isn’t feeling the effects of the economic crisis. (Rising costs of food? What?)
Have you called Jenny yet?

This is owner Laura Santarelli and her cat Orazio (is that Italian for “what the bloody hell”?) Weight: 35 lbs, thanks to daily treats. I wonder, what does Santarelli consider an appropriate cat treat? A three course dinner?
Holy Crap! This cat weighs more than my 4-year-old.

I know, this is totally insipid, and most likely a waste of time. But I need a break from bitching about Palin and the stupid things she says; don’t worry, I’ll recharge before tomorrow night. Still, in the next few posts are some funny pictures of fat animals to amuse us in between the crying fits.
This is Roo, a monster bunny, weighing over 15 pounds. This rare (thank god for that) European Giant Rabbit has been adopted from the pet shop twice, only to be returned both times. She’s the... Read Full Story
