Chapter I
The Princess was out one day riding in the country when she came upon a dog. This was an ordinary looking dog and rather young. As she approached she found that the dog was running in a rather peculiar way, dashing first one way and then the other. “Why are you running like that” [...]

Oil is HOW MUCH?!?

This is funny.

Spooked motorists called police to report a scene so bizarre it could’ve come from a movie: a convoy of armed men apparently trying to hijack a tanker truck.
In fact, it did come from a movie.
“Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior,” to be exact.
Eleven “Mad Max” movie buffs were arrested and charged Saturday [...]

Tale

Marilyn Barnewall wonderfully skewers socialism in a socialist fairy tale:

Once upon a time, a young couple fell in love and got married. Their names were Jack and Jenny… and soon Jeffrey and Jane were names added to the household. Jack worked hard at a small business he had started while Jenny stayed home to care [...]

In the Teirgarten of (No) Good and Evil

April 14, 2005

Some people are upset about the recent film Downfall, which portrays the final few days in Hitler’s bunker from the perspective of his personal secretary. We had the distinct pleasure of seeing this movie a couple of weeks ago, and were absolutely stunned by both the film and the audience’s reaction.
Downfall accurately captures the events [...]

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. military pilot and a sergeant were being held on federal narcotics charges after admitting they flew an Air Force jet from New York to Germany and returned with 290,000 pills of Ecstasy worth [...]

April 12, 2005

Our buddy Matt Bramanti over at Lone Star Times dug up a Flash tool that will let you construct your own South Park character, complete with over 1,500 configurable items. Our fellow worker bees at LST have created Cartmanesque avatars of themselves, so naturally I had to throw one up as well.

April 9, 2005

Okay, the new liberal-Leftist tabloid-weblog attempt to seize the news cycle from Drudge is called Sploid, apparently a play on the words tabloid and… well, spew? It doesn’t really make any sense.
So they want to take on Drudge, and they do it with entries like this:
