Man tries to pay bill with spider drawing.
From twitter via @frohman, this is freaking hilarious. BTW, you can follow me on twitter, @bigjim.
Just to be fair with the blog time, this is Caden, my brother’s oldest. If there was only one reason for us to move back to Mississippi it’d be these boys. We miss them lots. (by jgstitan)

ESPN: Ole Miss to break through and end LSU drought.
Ole Miss 28, LSU 24: The newly named Magnolia Bowl has a lot riding on it this year. Namely, the winner positions itself nicely for a Cotton Bowl bid. The Rebels (6-4, 3-3 SEC) would also need to beat Mississippi State to end the season, but an 8-4 team Ole Miss team on a five-game winning streak could just about write its ticket to Dallas. LSU almost wrote its ticket to the most embarrassing loss of the Les Miles era last week, but managed to rally from a 31-3 second-half deficit and beat Troy. Did that comeback re-energize the Tigers, or are they merely limping to the finish? Here’s betting the answer is somewhere in between, and Ole Miss snaps a six-game losing streak against LSU to win a thriller at Tiger Stadium.
I think we’ve got a damn good shot at winning if we don’t turn the ball over. Also, check out What to watch in the SEC, Week 13 which is mostly about Ole Miss / LSU.

Very funny episode, need to catch up on the rest of the season. I just happened to catch this one last night in bed.

This is an Op-Ed by Mitt Romney, pretty good read.

*UDPATE*
Brian had a good question, I posted some comments about some of these in the comments to this post.
Calif. Supreme Court to take up gay marriage ban.
The California Supreme Court accepted three lawsuits seeking to nullify Proposition 8, a voter-approved constitutional amendment that overruled the court’s decision in May that legalized gay marriage.
All three cases claim the measure abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable minority group. They argue that voters alone did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.
California is so fucked up. If it had passed, would those same groups still be saying “that voters alone did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.” Didn’t it get on the ballot because the California Supreme Court had said gays could marry? I don’t know, just seems like a really messed up process.
I know this is a small sample, but it’s a pretty damned funny video. And I hate to say it, but probably typical of most voters on either side.
NYTimes.com: For Yugo, a Place of Eternal Rust, er, Rest.
How do you make a Yugo go fast? Push it off a cliff.
What do you call the passengers in a Yugo? Shock absorbers.
Why do Yugos have heated rear windows? To keep your hands warm while you push it.
I didn’t know they still made them. They stopped selling them in the US in 1992 but just stopped making them this month.
