But.... she'll drive a car fueled by the decomposed bodies of dead dinosaurs :P

To be fair to her (and others who run into that comment), the percentage of non-zooplankton animals contributing to oil creation is probably not that much worse than the relative amount of bugs killed in producing a head of lettuce.

The ultimate source of crude oil (and natural gas) is almost entirely from algae and zooplankton. And only the most devoted vegans make any effort to avoid consumption of currently-living-zooplankton so million years-dead zooplankton really isn't a concern.

So in that sense, using petroleum based products is probably not any more hypocritical than a standard vegan diet.

Coal is more likely to contain "dinosaurs" but it it still overwhelmingly sourced from plants.

Wow, neat. Snopes got snoped...and came out clean.

Snopes ran this story about a State Farm insurance agent who attached an anti-Obama sign to his business sign. According to Snopes, State Farm contacted him and asked him to remove the sign as they have a no-endorsement policy.

A couple months ago an email began to circulate claiming that State Farm did NOT pressure the agent to take it down and that Snopes had not contact either the agent or anyone at State Farm to check their facts. Furthermore, they claimed that Snoes is run by a married couple of highly political Democrats that have gone out of their way to hide their identity.

Well, FactCheck.org took up the case. What did they find? A) Contacting State Farm confirmed precisely what Snopes reported, that State Farm insisted the agent remove the sign due to conflict with their non-endorsement policy. B) While Snopes admits to not having called the agent, they said they emailed him and got no response. C) Far from being a very liberal Democrats, the David Mikkelson is a registered independent, formerly registered as a Republican, and his wife Barbara is a Canadian citizen, not allowed to take part in US politics. D) They have made no attempt to hide their identity, with articles being found as far back as 1995 linking Snopes and the Mikkelsons.

The full FactCheck debunking, including the circulated email, is here

Oh, sure. "FactCheck." As if.

Dunno why Fej hasn't posted this here yet, but dude, he found a doozy: LOLTATZ. It's like Cake Wrecks for tattoos.

DEFINITELY NSFW! (Or anyone else for that matter, in the case of one photo...)

LolTatz???? I have to go look. I'm sure it'll be painful.

I'm assuming the one photo is this. Please tell me that was photoshopped!

Because if not, that's just.. I mean, come on... really? You paid someone to permanently put that on you in an obvious-to-everyone spot?
