I don’t know precisely why I love this clip, but I do.  Eighties Clarkson – amazing the crap they could get in Britain that never made it to the states.

Title: “An Intellectual History of Cannibalism”

Author: Catalin Avramescu; translated by Alistair Ian Blyth

Rank: 103,316

Blurb: “The cannibal — perhaps the ultimate symbol of savagery and degradation — has haunted the Western imagination since before the Age of Discovery, when Europeans first encountered genuine cannibals and related horrible stories of shipwrecked travelers eating each other. An Intellectual History of Cannibalism is the first book to systematically examine the role of the cannibal in the arguments of philosophers, from the classical period to modern disputes about such wide-ranging issues as vegetarianism and the right to private property.”

Sarah Palin’s resignation speech in Wasilla. Forensic photoanalysis reveals she was already under alien influence.

A third shockingly erudite Facebook post Thursday night has confirmed the ugly truth nobody wants to hear:

The evidence can no longer be denied: 1,233 words of coherent, grammatically correct English, followed by eight footnotes. Only a higher intelligence capable of interstellar travel could render meaning from the world-famous free verse of her previous speeches and Twitter messages. Earlier known attempts to plant a positronic comprehension chip in George W. Bush’s brain were clearly beta tests.

For the umpteenth time, Babe Ruth calls center field:

The wife of Doug Manchester, the San Diego developer who helped finance the 2008 fight against same-sex marriage in California, has filed for divorce after 43 years of marriage.

Doug’s Catholic, of course. But alas, that $125,000 he spent to defend his marriage (or what remained of it, after the missus left him last October) doesn’t count toward Indulgences.

Still, there’s a silver lining: California beastiality proponents may be putting off a Prop 8 rematch until 2012. Surely Doug can cough up another 125 large by then. After the lawyers get paid.
