This is how I spend most of my day - pondering stupidity, questioning logic, making decisions, concocting ideas.

Also, Alexa Chung is keeeeyoot.

Colbert Tells Viewers To Deny Rep. Cynthia Davis Food (VIDEO)

Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis is one tough cookie. Last week she opposed subsidizing school lunches for low income children during summer months saying, “Hunger can be a positive motivator.” This is excellent news considering 1 in 5 Missouri kids is living in hunger, so that state is due for a productivity boon.

Stephen Colbert tipped his hat to Rep. Davis last night, applauding her decision, but worrying that she never rose above the rank of state representative because she developed the anti-motivating habit of eating. He called on Missourians to help her by denying her food whenever possible. That should give her her edge back.

Her reasoning, and her stance, are sickening.

THAT’S MY STATE, BABY!  YEAH!  AND SHE’S FROM O’FALLON!

Now I really regret eating that salad.  I bet I’d be working instead of Tumbling if I’d just gone with that glass of water I was considering.

These items have birds on them.  BIRDS, I say!  I would like to order some of their candles because who couldn’t use a little glowy bird candle in their life?

The Whispertown 2000 - “Old Times” (via stevedry)

After all the elephant-related crying I’ve been doing I needed something bright and amusing.  This seemed to do it.

The Elephant Sanctuary, Hohenwald, Tennessee

Jenny and Shirley were both at the same circus when Jenny was a calf and Shirley was in her 20s. They lived one winter together then were separated 22 years ago. It is very rare for elephants to display this kind of emotion in captivity, and it’s probably the first time such a thing has been documented on film.

Carol Buckley, Sanctuary Director, describes their reunion.

“Jenny came into the barn for the first time since Shirley’s arrival at around 7:00 p.m. There was an immediate urgency in Jenny’s behavior. She wanted to get close to Shirley who was divided by two stalls. Once Shirley was allowed into the adjacent stall the interaction between her and Jenny became quite intense. Jenny wanted to get into the stall with Shirley desperately.She became agitated, banging on the gate and trying to climb through and over. After several minutes of touching and exploring each other, Shirley started to ROAR and I mean ROAR — Jenny joined in immediately. The interaction was dramatic, to say the least, with both elephants trying to climb in with each other and frantically touching each other through the bars. I have never experienced anything even close to this depth of emotion.”
