Breaking news from the first state we’ll be giving back to Mexico:

The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed.

Title: “Transformation: The Mindset You Need. The Body You Want. The Life You Deserve”

Author: Bill Phillips

Rank: 18

Blurb: “A self-described ‘teacher, student, servant and part-time comedian,’ Bill encourages, enlightens, and endears his many readers and community followers at his transformation website.”

Review: “He barely touches on food and exercise, and instead spends a large part of the book discussing positive thinking, and a lot of absolute nonsense. He actually spends a full page or two saying that if you think happy thoughts while you cook, that it is somehow PROVEN to make the food more nutritious than the exact same food prepared without thinking ‘happy thoughts’.”

The Messerschmitt KR200, or Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter), was a ridiculous three-wheeled bubble car. This proves that men will race anything.
