Bonsai Kittens

Hmmmm. I received another one of "those" emails. You know the ones. "Forward this email to everyone on your mailing list and you will receive big money from Bill Gates as Microsoft tracks this..." or (more pertinent to this commentary) "Pass this petition on to everyone you know. A Japanese man in New York is giving kittens muscle relaxants and then placing them into bottles where they are fed through a straw for the rest of their lives unable to clean themselves". As appalling as this may seem at first glance, any serious thought on the matter should definitely set off a few alarms to this being a hoax. Please, for your own well being, ignore chain mail letters. They will always make you look the part of the village idiot.

Colbert vs. Colbert

Watching the Colbert report last night I was impressed to see that Colbert faced off against himself on the issue of performance enhancing drugs in sports during his segment entitled "Formidable Opponent". Both Colberts' made stirring arguments to support their cause, but I believe it was Colbert defending the use who made out the best.
Colbert: I want to see my athletes clean and out there giving 110%
Colbert: Where do you think that extra 10% comes from
