This video is causing provoking a lot of discussion. I'm curious what you think of what took place.

A region in Russia has a new holiday. Conception Day! Here is a quote from the story.

"Ulyanovsk Gov. Sergei Morozov has decreed Sept. 12 a Day of Conception and is giving couples time off from work to procreate. Couples who give birth nine months later on Russia's national day - June 12 - will receive money, cars, refrigerators and other prizes."

What a fantastic holiday. Call, write and phone your representative folks, let's get this holiday on the calendar here.

The Liberal Brain

A new study has found fundamental differences in the way the liberal brain and conservative brain work.

The study found that the when the liberal brain was confronted with a serious problem, it's automatic reaction was to tax the richer parts of the brain. When confronted with the same stimuli the conservative brain would needlessly preemptively attack another part of the brain then occupy it.

Of course, I'm just kidding. But there was really a new study about the differences in these two types of brains. I wonder when the first medicine will come out offering a cure? I can't wait to see those commercials.

Here's my cartoon for the Sunday newspaper. The only time I usually do a sports cartoon is when someone has committed a crime. As a huge Mariners fan, I have to say that's what the Angels sweep felt like.
