Overnight Open Thread (22 Feb 2014)

Ragnarok is upon us. Another The End Is Here fail.

Keith Koffler goes country to country in search of one, single foreign policy success for Obama and finds nothing but fail. I'm sure we'll get another pivot or two that will finally work. Maybe. Ugh. It's gonna be a long three years.

Disney Princess Drinks

A Magic Kingdom of mixed drinks. (Hi Rum!)

Corporal Punishment

I had no idea that nineteen states allow teachers to spank children. I figured that it had been outlawed as it is a pretty narrow line to cross before you potentially run into child abuse charges.

I hadn't heard the story of Operation Habbakuk until a Royal Navy exchange officer briefed my department on it the other day at work. Essentially, it was a plan to build a giant aircraft carrier out of an iceberg.

Genius move. Girl Scout is selling cookies outside a cannabis clinic. However, she only sold 37 more boxes outside the clinic than outside Safeway. Probably needs to add Fritos or Doritos to the table.

Sex Times

Some are repeats and some are new but kharma is a bitch.
