Max Mueller II, mayor of Idyllwild, California, is a real SOB and everyone knows it.
Mom ordered a t-shirt from China for her 3-year-old and it came with a surprise bonus feature.
And it’s all supposed to be spontaneous. Yeah, right.
Un-Aborted Pro-Abortion woman tries to make the argument:
“Let’s eliminate suffering by killing those who MIGHT suffer.” Pheew. Even Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was against abortion as a contraceptive (except for blacks). The entire premise is false.

Saturday Matinee – Steel Shredder, Egg Cracker, Android 207, Tom Waits & Pink Floyd
Not sure why, but this kind of stuff fascinates me.
Egg-breaking machine complete with egg-breaking porn soundtrack found here.
I ran across Paul Whittington‘s Android 207 a coupla years ago. Seems to fit.

Have a great weekend, folks, and don’t forget that astronomy is gonna happen tomorrow night.
