Garfield Minus Garfield is an example of when “less is more”. Â This is pure genius.

Look who I found on Match.com- Sasha Cohen the Olympic figure skater! Skating can be a lonely life on the road and where better than Match.com to find your potential mate?
I can see Sasha and I together skating in the park, laughing and holding hands. But my dreams of love were quickly shattered when I realized this was yet another Match.com spam profile. Why, Match.com, why?
From the Cincinnati Enquirer: McCain rebukes Cunningham
Radio talk show host Bill Cunningham’s mocking and harsh criticism of Democrat Barack Obama upstaged Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s rally today in Cincinnati.
Sen. McCain apologized for the remarks by the WLW radio talk show host.Cunningham said later that he stood by his comments. He told his listeners: ‘”I’ve had it with McCain. I’m going to throw my support to Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
Cunningham represents the worst in fear mongering politics. Playing on racial fears and divisive stereotypes to advance his own agenda. He’s says he’s the voice of the common man, but he isn’t. He’s the voice of the pompous, self-promoting, ratings grabbing Bill Cunningham. Why anyone gives this a clown a platform to spout his hate speech is beyond comprehension. Watching the video, I’m reminded of the dumb and loud school yard bully, resorting to name calling when you have nothing intelligent or witty to say.
Bill Cunningham is a total embarrassment to Cincinnati. Thanks for getting Cincinnati into the news again, Bill.

UPDATE: Now Bill Cunningham is upset that “John McCain threw me under a bus”
From CNN.com: McCain apology angers conservative host
Cunningham said McCain “ought to attack Democrats and quit attacking conservatives like me.”
“I, for one, regret that John McCain is the nominee of the conservative party,” he said.
Hmmm. Isn’t it possible that McCain isn’t actually attacking conservatives, but Bill Cunningham’s idiocy? Of course Bill Cunningham isn’t capable of comprehending that he isn’t the totality of the Conservative wing of the Republican Party.

From WLWT.com: McCain Rounds Out Presidential Primary Parade
McCain said Monday that to win the White House he must convince a war-weary country that U.S. policy in Iraq is succeeding. If he can’t, “then I lose. I lose,” the Republican said.
He quickly backed off that remark.“Let me not put it that stark,” McCain told reporters on his campaign bus. “Let me just put it this way: Americans will judge my candidacy first and foremost on how they believe I can lead the country both from our economy and for national security. Obviously, Iraq will play a role in their judgment of my ability to handle national security.”
“If I may, I’d like to retract ‘I’ll lose.’ But I don’t think there’s any doubt that how they judge Iraq will have a direct relation to their judgment of me, my support of the surge,” McCain added. “Clearly, I am tied to it to a large degree.”
McCain states his experience as his prime qualification for being President, but his strong support of the Iraq war calls into question his judgment. Fighting a war in Iraq has not helped our national security and diverting troops from Afghanistan has actually set us back in capturing those who have started this war on terror. How someone who supports Bush’s policies and claims to be a superior candidate for national security is beyond me.

From NYTimes.com: Buried Seed Vault Opens in Arctic
There are something like 1,400 seed banks around the world, guarding samples of crop plants ranging from alfalfa to yams. But, as I wrote last year, this agricultural archive is eroding under forces including war, storms, scant money or bad management, particularly in the world’s poorest or most turbulent places. A Fort Knox has been needed, many experts said. Now they have it.
I always thought something like this is a good idea. It’s like having a backup copy of data. If something catastrophic happens, you have the ability to get it back.
This is hilarious!
You got to love a politician who’ll poke fun at himself.
I love this clip. Star Wars according to a 3 year old.
