Most idiots are caught trying to break out of prison. Here’s one sorry idiot who was busted breaking in, as reported by Der Spiegel: Prison walls were no obstacle for a man in western Germany who was being separated from his love. But breaking into her cell every night turned out to be a... »

Here’s one more gem from James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today: See if you can guess the topic of the New York Times op-ed piece whose first paragraph is this: Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical... »

When the rock is covered on top with a white layer — it’s snowing.... »

Here’s Obama, now bowing to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio. What is wrong with this guy? Does he go into automatic-servant mode whenever someone reaches out a hand for a handshake? Or maybe ever since the Saudi monarch bow-scandal, he’s now just trying to make it look like he “always does this sort of thing”…... »
