“Dwile flonking”

I really need to stop reading stories with romantic/love themes. Driving myself miserable again.

• Nanny State of Britain’s newest banned activity: dwile flonking [pictured]. … Wait, what?

• Doggycide: cops shoot and kill man’s medical dog from another yard whilst looking for burglary suspect.

• Roger Ebert on racism, how bigots come to be as they are, and what it must be like for those confronted by race-themed hate on a daily basis.

• Glenn Beck once again claims that “big government never lifts anybody out of poverty. It creates slaves”. Media Matters’s Jeremy Holden, who survived as a child and was put through school thanks to the help of one such “big government”, begs to differ.

As always, if you have any story suggestions, feel free to send them in.
