New one from Pat.

The whole money system (including sub-prime mortgages) explained in about nine satirical and hilarious minutes.

None of us (sane ones) are really surprised when we hear demeaning remarks from Fox News commentators, but the latest Fred Barnes comment kinda surprised me. Even heavy capitalist-hitter Brit Hume apologized and distanced himself from this fascist bigot. All I can say is: wow! See it for yourself.
In a normal and healthy society, this guy would be out in the streets long time ago, but we know that’s not going to happen.

Something really fascinating about largest creature that ever and still lives on.

• The Blue Whale is believed to be the largest animal ever to have lived. Yes, even larger than any of the known dinosaurs.
• At up to 33 meters (110 ft) in length and 181 metric tonnes (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is believed to be the largest animal ever to have existed.
• The largest Blue Whale accurately weighed by NMML scientists to date was a female that weighed 177 tonnes (196 short tons).
• A Blue Whale’s tongue weighs around 2.7 tonnes (3 short tons) and when fully expanded its mouth is large enough to hold up to 90 tonnes (100 short tons) of food and water.
• Despite the size of its mouth, the dimensions of its throat are such that a Blue Whale cannot swallow an object wider than a beach ball.
• Its heart weighs 600 kg (1,320 lb) and is the largest known in any animal.
• A Blue Whale’s aorta is about 23 cm (9 in) in diameter. A small child could actually swim through it.
• During the first 7 months of its life, a Blue Whale calf drinks approximately 400 litres (100 US gallons) of milk every day. Blue Whale calves gain weight quickly, as much as 90 kg (200 lb) every 24 hours. Even at birth, they weigh up to 2,700 kilograms (6,000 lb) – the same as a fully-grown hippopotamus.

Here’s a true lesson in critical thinking and common sense. This is how is done. Period.
