Alabama's Draconian Anti-Immigrant Law Is Having the Desired Effect

John Cook · 10/04/11 12:54PM

Which Fading Actress Volunteered to Be a Hollywood Hunk's Beard?

Brian Moylan · 10/04/11 10:07AM

He needs a girl to make everyone think he's straight and she needs someone to boost publicity now that she's out of work. A match made in PR heaven. This actress used to be in a cult, and this famous husband is cheating on the missus. Shockingly, it's not with a man.

The Consumer Is Finished

Hamilton Nolan · 10/04/11 09:29AM

Today, global stocks sit at their lowest point in 15 months. In Europe, the markets are "in meltdown," as traders flee in fear of a Greek default that would devastate the continent's financial stability. The world's economy is stuck in a race car with a brick on the accelerator chugging full speed towards a ramp overhanging the tempting lip of the double dip recession. I think we can make it! Faster, faster, whee!

Underpants Bomber's Trial Begins Today

Lauri Apple · 10/04/11 06:37AM

Frugal flyer Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man and underpants bomb enthusiast who on Christmas 2009 allegedly intended to make an airliner go boom over Detroit, heads to court today for the first day of his trial on eight terrorism-related charges. Abdulmutallab has pleaded not guilty, but the evidence against him is pretty strong (a confession, a videotape of him explaining his bomb scheme, and the half-destroyed bomberpants he wore during his fateful flight, among other things) so he probably shouldn't expect a Christmas miracle. Given this development and the death of his inspiration source, Anwar al-Awlaki, just a few days ago, Abdulmutallab's kind of having a shitty week.

A Fruity, Functional Piano You Can Eat

Lauri Apple · 10/04/11 05:38AM

Fruit is so versatile: You can eat it straight from the store, eat it later, eat it baked in a pie or muffin, or not eat it at all—just let it rot away and feel guilty about wasting food (the fruit flies will console you). You can also use it to make your own Resistor Jeltone: an edible, functional toy piano.

Yesterday a passing motorist called 911 after spotting this Halloween decoration, which shows a fake man trapped under a riding mower, his fake-man blood messing up the lawn. Fake! Yet still scary enough to merit a "Caution: Graphic Images" warning from TV station WBTV. Boo!!!

Seth Abramovitch · 10/04/11 02:20AM

The Rick Perry bad lip-reading video that transfixed the world last week now has a companion piece in this audio-doctored Michele Bachmann campaign clip, in which the rapidly receding candidate reveals the appropriate gift for a prison party (milk, not backyard meth), the number of Jew persons at the Hispanic prom (one), and a possible side-effect of the HPV vaccine (retardation). Oh wait — she actually said that last one.
