And now there’s a site that proves it. Granted, the site’s got a one-sided political bent to it, but it’s still pretty handy. The Center for American Progress has launched the Claim vs. Fact database project to chart conservatives’ dishonesty and compare it with the truth. In this database, each conservative quote will be matched against well-documented facts, so that users can get a more accurate picture of the issues.

I need to get me one of these for my office: A German company is offering $90 stools shaped like giant ESC keys: “the perfect pouf for all victims of the new media collapse!” Link via BB.

Oh that’s right — because I don’t own any goats (at least not since I was about 5 years old).

An eastern Ohio farmer has a unusual solution for those who are plagued by overgrown brush and multifloral rose bushes – a “rent-a-goat” program.

About eight years ago, Carol Kennedy received two pygmy goats from her brother-in-law for brush control on her farm. Within two years, the goats had eaten enough brush to clear a pasture. Because she was pleased with the results, Kennedy decided to go into the goat business.

I posted a while back about a friend of mine whose brother went missing. His brother has returned.
