1. These people look like either a convention of potential serial killers, or the staff at your first school, if your hair’s turning gray.
2. This is a real building in Germany, decorated to look like something from a cartoon. I think it’s great art and more cities should have buildngs like this, but it is weird.
3. Perhaps a happy resident of the above building?
4. This is intended to be funny, and it is, but it’s also weird!
Weird pictures from various sources.
More weirdness here in video form. (BTW, Johnny claimed he was actually imitating Elvis impersonators.)
Three Wall Street economists went out hunting and came across a large deer. The first economist fired, but missed by a foot to the right. The second economist fired, but also missed, this time by two feet to the right. The third economist didn’t fire, but shouted in triumph, “We got it! We got it!” Although they failed to shoot anything, when they returned to work the following week they were rewarded with bonuses by the weasels who employed them and offered lucrative residencies at conservative think tanks.
Moral: Economists are never punished for missing their target, as long as they miss in the right direction.

You never know what might happen tonight in Michigan, but Mitt Romney’s Big Money donations are already drying up, down substantially from what he gleaned in January, so if he loses big in Michigan tonight, that could effectively be the end of his herky-jerky, what-a-turkey presidential run. But don’t cry for Mitt; at least he can afford to replace all the footwear he’s chewed up in the last year campaigning.
1. This chart shows who is to blame for most of the $14.3 trillion national debt and, despite GOP bleating to the contrary, it isn’t Obama.
2. This chart shows the number of unemployment claims have been going down as a result of Obama’s stimulus package.
3. Job growth under Obama.
4. How the public thinks their money should be spent and cuts made, as opposed to what the GOP and official Washington says.
