Dregs & Vestiges
See, we actually liked the Muppets on SNL. It’s not that they were funny — that would be a stretch — but that they were weird. So much of SNL was like that, until they built up a tolerance for the drugs. And then it became an institution.
All of which means it’s another slow news day, so have a link dump.
- Frontal Lobotomy. Health insurers are like beer companies, says Karl Rove. True — both give you hangovers.
- The Road to Idiocracy. Steve King (R-Cornhole) says gay marriage leads to socialism.
- Out Standing In Their Field. Fairbanks newspaper apologizes to Talibunny for “A broad in Asia”.
- Lunartown. Water discovered on Moon; Southern California immediately acts to divert it.
