Baby Aardvark Born at Busch Gardens In Tampa

Awwwww.

With fewer than a dozen successful births each year, aardvark births are not common. They are solitary by nature, only Busch Gardens is home to a male and female, with the cub making three. He will be raised in Jambo Junction – located in the Nairobi area of the park – and will become one of the park’s educational Animal Ambassadors.

But what if the baby aardvark doesn't want to be an Animal Ambassador? What if it wants to be an interior decorator?

I thought politicians are people too ugly to go into acting....

Halloo. Obama and Clinton were doing okay for themselves.

I grew up having crushes on Prime Ministers, so it's nice to finally see some politico cuties, you know, younger than me and therefore vaguely age-appropriate.

I thought politicians are people too ugly to go into acting...

JFK was no slouch, if I recall.

What's interesting Connie is that we've traditionally a three-party country, and it's often been the NDP that's been that third party. Now the third party is much diminished, and people are wondering if we'll become a two-party country.

If I looked that good, I'd skip politics and go right into Hollywood.

Ha! Actor was one of his many careers.

New York Names Nissan Van ‘Taxi of Tomorrow’

The Taxi of Tomorrow looks like an appliance, gets 25 mpg and features antimicrobial non-stick upholstery that resembles leather.

Love it or hate it, the streets of New York will be awash in these things within a decade. Nissan has won an exclusive 10-year contract to provide taxis to the city that never sleeps, a deal said to be worth more than $1 billion. That’s billion with a “b,” and if it seems like a lot of dough remember that there are 13,200 cabs roaming the streets of Gotham.

...

Although the NV200 doesn’t look nearly so cool as the Checker Marathon or nearly as tough as the Crown Vic, city officials said it is roomier and far more fuel-efficient. The Vic, which comprises roughly 90 percent of the fleet, gets about 12 mpg.

Kinda ugly, but getting twice the mileage of a Crown Victoria is cool....

Orangina furry ad. Not strictly safe for anything.

What. The hell. Was that?

I hope next time I'm offered an Orangina, I can repress the memory of that one.

Orangina furry ad. Not strictly safe for anything.

It's amazing how much wrongness they managed to cram into that video....

eta: Also, female peacocks don't have those colorful tail feathers.

Also, female peacocks don't have those colorful tail feathers.

Yes, tommy, that's the factual takeaway from that video.

I thought I knew which ad was the Orangina furry ad. But that's only the other Orangina furry ad. And, so help me god, that one guy is sexy.

But he's a guy! Even if he would never look at me...
