The best political ad ever is about Ned Lamont's Messy Desk. This should be loved by voters on any side of the spectrum. My Mom's response when I sent it to her: "Have you considered moving to CT so you can help defeat Lieberman?"

I've heard that Wal-Mart edits their rated R movies, without putting notice on the outside of the package like they do CDs, but I haven't bought any rated R movies from Wal-Mart to find out, mainly for that specific reason.

The humane society probably supports, or at least overlooks, "responsible" hunting as it can be argued as a form of wild animal population control. I've always kind of thought that the whole idea of hunting was kind of unbalanced anyway. I mean, how fair is it to the animals that a human can kill them with a gun from a safe distance? Let's see some of these hunters outrun a deer or take on a bear in hand-to-hand combat or something. Then maybe I'll attest their testosterone-filled manliness.

Does this form of online hunting actually kill real animals over the Internet, or is it just more of a video game? If it's the former, when do we get a version for people? I wouldn't mind popping off a few gang members or armed robbers from the comfort and safety of my bedroom. Or how about child rapists? We could do kind of like the Dateline NBC thing, only instead of risking getting interviewed on national TV, the potential predators will istead risk getting shot in the head as soon as they enter the house. Picture this: The online decoy gives the child molester a certain address to a house that is rigged with a bunch of cameras and guns. A person logs into a website and watches the house. When they see a predator enter the house, they get to line him up in their crosshairs and shoot. The clean-up crew could wear a special suit or hat or something so the hunters would know not to kill them. Just a thought. I mean, if we're going to be hunting something online, why not make it something worthwhile, instead of caged animals on a game farm?
