Fox News sent some reporter (who sounds about 18 years old) out to grill Father Pfleger because he had invited Reverend Wright to church. They should have sent someone smarter.

‘Nuff said!

From time to time, I check CPSC to see if I’ve bought anything that might be unsafe. These are just too funny, though:

• Nordstrom candles might be a fire hazard
• Pottery Barn candles might be a fire hazard
• Wick & Petal Co. candles might be a fire hazard

And that’s just January. Aren’t candles in general, particularly if burned indoors unattended, a fire hazard?

Oh yes. It’s real.

Remember the poem Apple used in that 1990s “Think Different” ad campaign? A poster calling him- or herself “The Pants” over at ars has offered us a new ending for it:

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some see them as the crazy ones,
We see people who should have their iPhones bricked.

The perfect tie.

Bad math.

“But this wasn’t just any old self-promoting David Blaine stunt. As a reward for his success, Target will give 100 underprivileged New York children chosen by the Salvation Army a David Blaine-led $500 shopping spree through one of its stores, because the spirit of Christmas is nothing if not a sharp reminder to the world’s poor that however hard they work, their children will always be more thankful to the smug tit who made more money for their kids by spending a few hours twatting about on a gyroscope than they manage to scrape together in six months of back-breaking labour.“
