Let The Smoke Out

And Now We Know…

Forget the Simarillion, and the Lost Tales. Tolkien didn’t know the TRUE beginnings of the One Ring.

Like I said, Gotta Love XKCD! Original Here.

How To Fix Congress.

This was passed on to me by a friend on Facebook. I don’t know that it’ll happen, but I’d sure like to see it.

Finally, a GOOD use for Obama’s head.

Proof positive that he’s out to screw us all: (NSFW)
