Bill O'reilly Proves God's Existence?
It kind of sucks when some of us spend years of rigorous disciplined training and research trying to understand the nature of reality only to be one-upped by the supernatural theo-philosophical powers of pundits like Bill O'Reilly. As part of this...

Tiny Triumphs - Lethal Drug Shortage Irony
No, I'm not talking about the fact that the standard practice is to sterilize the needle for a lethal injection (it does make one wonder, though), or even about the fact that the lethal drug has an expiration date... I'll just let Stephen Colbert...
