M.U.S.C.L.E.S.

Does anyone remember M.U.S.C.L.E.S., the popular pink collectible figures from the 80s? I do--especially now that I've dug up the old box where they've been stored for the past 20 years. Check 'em out.

Utah House of Representatives: Global Warming is a Fraud

Was it only a matter of time? The Utah state legislature is close to becoming the first state to officially repudiate the myth of manmade climate change. Ah, to live in a state with marginally more common sense than can be typically found. From the story:
