I know this news is days old, but it’s refreshing to know that Israel is not the only place with politicians who say really dumb things. Mayor Ray Nagin on Tuesday apologized for urging residents to rebuild a “chocolate New Orleans” and saying, “You can’t have New Orleans no other way.”   “I’m really sorry [...]

Separated at Birth

Sometimes it takes readers to show the way.   Thanks to reader abunafha, the identity of the man next to the midget is revealed:     And it makes sense: one physical midget and one mental midget (thanks to reader Grandma for inspiring that thought).   Yeah, yeah I know.
