PEOPLE
Peggy Noonan: "Have you heard, 'If only we follow Obama and the Democrats, it will all get better'? Or, 'If only we follow the Republicans, they'll make it all work again'? I bet you haven't, or not much. This is historic. This is something new in modern political history, and I'm not sure we're fully noticing it.

Living in a Cage Home in Hong Kong SAVE
We saw some primitive conditions in Hong Kong, but nothing like this. You'll never say that your house is too small again. (Scroll down for the video.) -
YouTube - How to Shoot an Anvil 200 Feet in the Air SAVE
PEOPLE
This one's for the guys, especially Eric Peterson. (I just don't get why someone would do this, but I guess it's proof that I'm not male...) -
