Hey heads up: PETA is offering to take whatever prison that Obama decides not use for terrorist collecting—Guantánamo, or that maximum security job in Thomson, IL that might be New Guantánamo—and turn it into a “All Living Beings Empathy Center.” It’d be symbolic as shit, right, because the Guantánamo human torture can be sort of [...] People for the...

One of my many collections is theme park maps. I only have three or four but I would someday like to get a lot more. It's kind of fun to look at the hand drawn maps of old parks (or old park layouts) and compare them to the present day. The Theme Park Maps website is LOADED with lots of map scans including many large ones. Link

SANFORD — A team of "Internet comedians" recently descended on the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens and the results are, well, we'll let you decide for yourself. North Carolina-based Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal travel the country making commercials about small businesses that spoof the style of local commercials.

No matter how Tommy Barrett's flack tries to spin this article , here's what counts: Republicans in control of the Legislature in 2005 sought to move the Zoo Interchange project ahead by putting $38 million for engineering into the 2005-'07 budget, but Doyle vetoed all but $3 million.
