This appeared in our local paper this morning:
This image from a surveillance video at an adult video store on Airport Boulevard shows a burglar holding an inflatable sex doll after he broke into the business.
Let me count the ways this wingnut fails:

First - he’s on video, so he will likely be caught, and we’ll get [...]

The other day I was thinking how awesome it would be if everything revolved around me. Seriously, if I were the center of the universe, then all problems - worldly and otherworldly - would take a back seat to my own. When I moved, I would move the universe. When I shake, [...]

The Guardian reported the interesting story of self-proclaimed psychic, Patricia Putt, and her attempt to take home 1 million dollars from the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). While many “psychics” have tried to take home the top prize, which would be a scientific stamp of approval to their claims of esp or other super [...]

Back during the 2008 election, these t-shirts came out, and lots of people were put in a weird spot. After all, it’s generally inappropriate to make fun of unwed pregnant teens, and in political campaigns a candidate’s children are usually off limits. But time passed, and the strange set of social contradictions that [...]

The final presidential “debate” is past, and both Barak Obama and John McCain are taking their largely negative campaigns into the home stretch.

One of Sylvia Brown’s biggest on-screen blunders, mistakenly telling Shawn Hornbeck’s parents - on camera - that he had been murdered, has now caused a bit of a stir in syndication across the pond. The Ofcom regulatory agency found that ITV’s rebroadcast of the Montel Williams episode in which Sylvia Browne needlessly devastates Hornbeck’s [...]

In my ongoing series about how local non-scientists are attempting to make scientific appeals to include intelligent design in public science classrooms in Alabama, I bring you this tidbit that appeared in yesterday’s Mobile Press Register. In letter titled, “Science not beyond error” a minister from a local Church of Christ argued:
