What does Taylor Swift have in common with LOLcats? Knit caps, apparently. While scanning headlines on FoxNews.com, I noticed the bizarre likeness. Maybe knit caps are the fashion trend for 2013? Continue reading

I recently saw an ad for some new revelation on the BBC series, Dr. Who, and all I could think of was a big elephant named Horton. I bet he won't have a guest appearance, but what if he did? Continue reading

Today I’m going to teach you how to make a reversible Felt Vagina. Why reversible you ask? Because this isn’t just a vagina, it’s an educational tool used to demonstrate “where babies come from”. Throw your kid one of these, watch them turn it inside out, and voila! -you can skip the whole uncomfortable conversation. She’s ready to push!…I see the head!…Aww, it’s a boy! via www.oneclassymotha.com It is a difficult thing; to laugh and gag at the same time. Continue reading

501 The next time you are driving, count how many times your fellow drivers fail to use their turn signals. Chances are you will run out of fingers and toes before the engine is warm. Nearly half of all drivers either don't signal to change lanes or fail to turn the indicator off if they do, according to a newly released report from the Society of Automotive Engineers. Researchers observed 12,000 cars and found a failure rate on lane changes of 48%. One driver in four failed to use a signal to make a turn, the report says. Those findings... Continue reading

Hang on to your Ding-Dongs and hide your Ho-Ho's in a closet because Hostess Bakeries are closed. The famous maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread announced it's closure today after filing for bankruptcy at the beginning of the year. Facing a culture that increasingly values healthy food choices as well as an uncertain economy, Hostess had negotiated an 8% pay cut with their employees to keep the company in business, but unions fought against the cuts and initiated a strike....

via www.foxnews.com CLEVELAND – A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to avoid a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children will have to stand at an intersection wearing a sign warning about idiots. Court records show a Cleveland Municipal Court judge on Monday ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to stand at an intersection for two days next week. She will have to wear a sign saying: "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

On one brand new stretch of toll road southeast of Austin, Texas, you can cruise at 85 mph and not worry about being pulled over for speeding. That’s because starting Wednesday, on this 41-mile segment of road, 85 mph is the legal speed limit. It’s the highest in the country, and some are wondering whether it might be a little too high. The new section of toll road provides an alternative to I-35, the congested artery that’s the spine of the Texas highway system. People who have driven between San Antonio and Austin can atest to the traffic -- it... Continue reading

"Made in America" doesn't mean the same thing it did during this country's manufacturing heyday, especially when it comes to automobiles. Luckily for those flag-waving car buyers who wish to express their nationalism by purchasing a vehicle built mostly by American workers, the American Automobile Labeling Act of 1992 requires automakers to list the percentage of United States and Canadian parts, the country of assembly and the origin of the engine and transmission for every model sold. Click through to see the ten 2012 vehicles that are the most "made in America." via editorial.autos.msn.com I like the idea of buying... Continue reading

In the first presidential debate of 2012, candidate Mitt Romney talked about cutting unneccessary spending. As an example, he cited publically funded television and radio. Since the basic networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox are all available over airwaves, and since the government subsidized (and in some cases, provided) digital signal converters back in 2009, one could argue that publically funded television and radio are not only unneccessary, but they are also wasteful. This looks like a good area to... Continue reading

Ever since I saw Clint Eastwood's speech at the RNC, I have been thinking about the song, "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." That thought finally gave birth to the idea of Le Ms. -- A recasting of Les Miserables in the context of today's political climate. I don't see myself writing the story, but I did come up with the song list for the soundtrack: Act I Prologue: A Work - The American People At the End of the Day... Continue reading

Today I saw a new political ad from the GOP called, "The Breakup." It's clever, and harsh, like you would expect a breakup to be. But it also clearly and succinctly states how I feel about the president and our relationship so far. Check it out: Continue reading

Looks like delegates to the Democratic National Convention will leave with more than they anticipated. Apparently Charlotte, North Carolina is having a lodging crisis that is putting delegates and reporters in 1 star accommodations. Among the problems: drug dealers, prostitutes, and bedbugs. If it were just the first two, you probably wouldn't hear any Democrats complaining; afterall, they are all about sex and drugs on demand. But the bedbugs have them screaming and itching. Mockazine would like to welcome the... Continue reading

In response to Clint Eastwoods comedic improv at the RNC (where he talks to an invisible President Obama in an empty chair) the president's campaing team has answered with a picture of the President in his chair in a White House conference room. The caption of the image is "This seat's taken." Mockazine thought it would be funny to see where this seats take'n the president in January, 2013. The obvious answer would be back to Chicago. Or, maybe he... Continue reading

Talk about breaking through the glass ceiling. Or, in this case, breaking through the windshield of a car in a crash test. After a half-century of debate on the topic, government regulators for the first time last year made female crash-test dummies a mandatory aspect of crash evaluations. Safety advocates have argued for years that designing cars to be crash-safe based solely on the anatomy of male occupants posed risks for smaller female occupants. Yet for decades automakers continued to use only dummies modeled after the average American male. Smaller women are three times as likely as an average-sized male... Continue reading

Allstate says that Americans tend to be involved in a collision once every 10 years. Not surprisingly, the cities that scored better than that average tended to be smaller ones. Here are the top five, in reverse order: 5. Lincoln, Nebraska (12.4 years between accidents) 4. Madison, Wisconsin (13 years between accidents) 3. Fort Collins, Colorado (13.6 years between accidents) 2. Boise, Idaho (13.8 years between accidents) 1. Sioux Falls, South Dakota (13.8 years between accidents) Compare those stats to those of drivers in the safest big cities (i.e. those with over 1,000,000 residents), and you'll notice a steep drop-off:...
