1) The world’s ugliest cat (aggressive pop-up alert).

2) Inside libertarian joke.

3) Here’s a prosecutor who’s enthusiastic about his work:

During his closing argument, prosecutor Robert Nelson re-enacted the bondage session that allegedly killed Michael Lord, 53, of North Hampton, N.H., in July 2000.

Donning a leather mask and speaking to the jury through the zippered mouth, he said Lord flailed about and died while strapped to the rack in a makeshift “dungeon” in Asher’s Quincy condominium.

[...]

The prosecutor pointed and hollered at Asher. He dumped a box full of hoods, collars, and paddles onto a table, and proclaimed that Asher was trying to protect her business.

“That’s why she didn’t call the police,” he said.

With both hands, he reached back and clutched the top of a blackboard to simulate Lord being strapped to the rack.

He paused as his head hung forward as if to simulate Lord’s alleged death.

The defendant…um….got off.

Sorry.

4) When the government bans cheese, cheese production won’t stop. It’ll only go underground.

Or something like that.

5) I suppose one should understand why Gov. Jeb Bush has thus far been oblivious to the plight of Richard Paey. He has more important things on his mind.
