- @grimmtooth - why are you quoting crappy Robbie Nevill 80’s tunes at me? [grin] #

This really is McCain’s biggest weakness, and Obama’s best weapon. It’s something that he needs to keep hammering on throughout the campaign: there is no difference policy-wise between McCain and Bush.

Y’know, I don’t know why I like this story as much as I do. I’m not really much of a history buff, and I am definitely not a Civil War afficianado. But I think there is something very cool about finding an historic document that’s been completely ignored. It’s like the ultimate “treasure in the trash” scenario:
Officials at a small Civil War museum made an intriguing discovery while sifting through storage: A document long treated as a photo reproduction of the terms of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender appears, upon closer inspection, to contain actual signatures and date to 1865.
Museum officials believe they have one of the three original documents signed by representatives of the Union and Confederacy in Appomattox Court House, Va., on April 10, 1865, a day after Lee’s surrender. (AP via Yahoo! News)
Even if this turns out to be a souvenir copy, the fact that it was signed by the key participants, including General Lee, makes this a relic from our country’s history. I think it has to be amazing to be able to hold a piece of history in one’s hands like this. I’d love to be able to touch it, or at least to see it in person.

Just remember, it is best not to fuck with a hippo. Even if you are a trained professional:
The woman, whose name was not released, was taking part in training with the 5-year-old male hippo, called Mahali, when she was bitten, zoo officials said. (via The Denver Channel)
Hippos are incredibly cute and fun to watch. But they also seem pretty cranky and have a general aura of bad-ass-ness. This story actually reminds me of the South Park episode about the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. In that ep, Irwin kept poking animals in the ass, then being attacked. Sticking one’s hand in a hippo’s mouth? Almost as bad.

Most excellent; a must read for everyone in our current fuel crisis. Best tip:
1. Turn off your engine if you are going to be idling for more than 30 seconds. Millions of gallons of fuel are wasted each day from idling. Your starter and battery system can handle the increased activity. (via Best Article Every Day)
