He managed to work in quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I have a Dream” speech and even the play “A Raisin in the Sun.” Obama’s landmark acceptance speech was made 45 years to the day after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his inspirational speech in front of the Washington Monument.

I’m sold. I have a ticket to the all you can eat buffet of hope and I’m going to fill my plate with Obama.

Still the Republican convention is a week away and Marc thinks the Republican V.P choice will be a hot, young, good-looking guy that’s stupid as rocks, just like Dan Quayle. And why not? It worked once and we know how the Republicans continue to work from the same playbook year after year.

What should we do? Burn those eco-unfriendly but bat-friendly fossil fuels?

Cows have a good sense of direction and you may too- if you’re blindfolded. Scientists from the University of Duisburg-Essen looked at thousands of images of cattle on Google Earth in Britain, Ireland, India and the USA.

They were able to tell that many cows naturally face north.

Thanks to Paul for sending us Disney’s Song of the South, a bizzare and over the top Disney film (spoiler alert) with an ambiguous ending which depicts a young boy getting run over a bull and possibly going to heaven, where all his pals and animal friends frolic around him.

An Oregon nurse kills her own assassin with her bare hands. Later it was revealed that the assassin may have been hired by the woman’s husband.

Listen up people, this show just might save your life!
