Molly DeWolf Swenson is making news. She was an intern for the Obama administration, and apparently sings pretty well, too. Make your own jokes about her changing her tune, I was on punchline overload. But good luck to her, she earned her way before the fact was known.

So Facebook has sidestepped the problem of how to control your mind and get you to buy things or recommend them to your friends. They don't need to control your brain to get you to advertise for them. They just need to know who your friends are, and what you're saying to them. Their ad placement algorithm does the rest.
The science of advertising is still scary, even if it isn't as effective as they would like.

A ten-year-old girl won a spelling bee without uttering a sound. Tanu Shivaswamy suffers from cerebral palsy but her mind is in top shape. With the help of an interpreter, she spells out her words using sign language. It's cool if you teared up a little after reading the article. I did.

"Your honor, my best guess is that he was either a dog in a former life, or never learned the art of shaking hands." This is the best possible defense for a man who apparently tackles women joggers and buries his nose in their... rear.

The nonprofit Consumer Wellness Center reported Thursday that its investigation found "blueberries" that were nothing more than a concoction of sugar, corn syrup, starch, hydrogenated oil, artificial flavors and -- of course -- artificial food dye blue No. 2 and red No. 40. The offenders are well-known manufacturers such as Kellogg's, Betty Crocker and General Mills, and the fakes were found in bagels, cereals, breads and muffins. Some products contain real blueberries mixed with fakes.This is disheartening on so many levels. Blueberries have been popular for their antioxidants and other health benefits, and some of our largest food providers have been purposely covering this up.
