The kids are asleep, so I thought I'd do a quick scan of my favorite non-news blogs before going to bed. You know, the quirky, fun stuff like Neat-O-Rama.

Oops! Now I have the indelible image of animal torture in my head. My goodness, how novel! Pretty strange fruit, huh?

I wonder how long it took that stupid elephant to die? I especially liked the idea of dismembering her "between two opposing engines." Whoa! Can you even imagine that? I wonder if she'd scream or what it would sound like. I'll give it some thought as I drift off to sleep.

Hey, can you find some pictures of that Great Dane (or was it a Dalmatian?) who was chained to a tree and tortured to death several years ago? Please try. That was neat-o. What about pictures of the woman who was dragged behind a pickup truck last month like that dude in Texas, or maybe even the jumpers from 9/11?

Go ahead and just post 'em on up there, like you do. I just can't seem to get enough of that stuff. Besides, the pictures from Iraq are so repetitive these days...

Thanks for sharing, Neat-O-Rama, but if I want to indulge sensationalized cruelty like good old Carl does, I know right where to go. But not here.
