Scientists Discover First Known Plant-Eating Shark

Scientists Discover First Known Plant-Eating Shark:  Researchers at UC Irvine and Florida International University have confirmed that the bonnethead shark is the world’s first known omnivore shark - one that prefers eating both plants and meat.  OK, so they found a shark who happens to enjoy a little side salad when it eats a surfer.  What’s the deal?



Woman Gets Rare Case of Hairy Black Tongue From Antibiotic:  While recovering in a hospital after a serious car accident, a 55-year-old Missouri woman began complaining of nausea and a bad taste in her mouth.  Upon examination, doctors found she had a rare case of a condition called “black hairy tongue” - thought to be a side effect of the antibiotic minocycline.  Come on now, this can’t be a real condition!  This study has be just tongue-in-cheek.

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican female was thrown into prostituti

Nikki Haley Claims ‘America’s Never Been A Racist Country’

After causing quite a stir a few weeks ago when she told an audience member that the Civil War was fought over “States Rights,” refusing to even mention slavery, Republican Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley continued raising eyebrows again this week when Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade asked her if she thought the Republican Party was racist or if America was a “racist country.”   Astonishingly, Haley immediately said, “No!   We’re not a racist country, Brian!   We’ve never been a racist country.” Wow!  The new “female Mike Pence” just said what?   That said, and in all fairness, she may have just raised an interesting point here.   I mean, other than the slavery, repressive Jim Crow laws, the systematic slaughter and expropriation of Native Americans from their land, the segregation, the lynchings, the laws against interracial dating and marriage, discrimination in housing, education, and hiring, the negative and condescending portrayal of people of color in the media, minority vo

Mike Pence Ends His Campaign By Claiming 'This is Not My Time’

After months of struggling to raise money and gain traction in the polls, former Vice President Mike Pence, who began his campaign by implying it was “God’s Will” that he should run for President of the United States, dropped his bid for the Republican presidential nomination by stating “This is not my time.” Dammit!  and I just bought my Pence bumper sticker too!   That said, Mike - I think you’re right.   This isn’t you’re time.   In fact, I’m pretty sure your time may have passed somewhere around the mid to late 1950s.   Yet, at his Las Vegas announcement, Pence told supporters that with regard to his failed campaign, he “Has no regrets.”   Oh, I’m quite sure he has "no regrets," other than the fact that almost no one in the entire country ever had any intention whatsoever of voting for him. Well, as Mike and “Mother’s” Good Book might say - “And thus so endeth - the campaign of Mike Pence.”   The funny thing is, for a candidate supposedly so heavily backed by God (talk a
