Today's Mighty Oak


Bonus update today:

First up, from The Gutters, check out this one, which takes a look at an upcoming crossover, and this one, which conquers a common problem:

 

Copywranter takes on free condom ads, which, since I’m a twelve year old, made me giggle.  He also looks at century old predictions from 1911.

The previously known as Colbert Super PAC, Building a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, is now the Definitely Not Coordinating with Stephen Super PAC, as he ramps up his campaign in South Carolina.  Awesome.  Make sure to check out their first ad.

Saw this a bit ago, on a fun note, I have the backpacking stove they feature in it.  Pretty awesome:

In drug-related news, Pot smokers have healthier lungs than cigarette smokers, and some people are claiming that the drug-war is killing more than alcohol or guns.  While I don’t agree with that based on the data presented, the war on drugs is still a colossal waste of time, money and resources.

He is a vile, horrible person, but I do have to give Santorum some props for selling sweater vests as a fundraiser.

Washington State is posed to have marriage equality (two votes short in their state senate), and as expected, the Catholic Church is butting into civil rights and urging citizens to oppose it.  Slog has a great rebuttal technique.

Wizards of the Coast is working on the fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons, and it’s being partially crowd sourced, which is kind of awesome.  The New York Times writes about it here.

That’s it for now, thanks for reading!



Quick update, I’ll probably have more later, but for now, enjoy!

First up, coffee shops are now getting into the Growler scene.  For those unaware, Growlers are used by microbreweries to sell and transport beer.  So now you can get 64 oz. of coffee at once.

The governor of Maine took down a mural because it showed the fight for worker’s rights and he doesn’t like that.  So now it’s a billboard:

Worried about socialism?  Stay way from West Virginia, and of course, Alaska.

Nerve has taken notice of the rash of ninja-related crimes happening in Pittsburgh.  God help us all.

George Takei is amazing.  In response to a bill in Tennessee which would make it illegal to discuss sexuality until high school (we had sex ed starting in fourth or fifth grade if I remember correctly).  So he’s taking matters into his own hands:

Remember kids, like I’ve said before, the more a politician rails against something, the more likely he or she is doing that thing.  This time: smoking pot.

That’s it for now, more soon!
