Tom Danehy: Sorry tea-baggers, Tom sets the record straight when it comes to those tax arguments, er, mythology (Tucson Weekly)
The history of Latin America after World War II basically consists of the United States having propped up an endless series of tinhorn fascist dictators (Somoza, Pinochet, Noriega, and on and on). All these bloodsuckers had to do was promise our government that they would be staunchly anti-Communist and the U.S. would shower them with money and grant them carte blanche to rape, pillage and plunder their own countrymen blind.
Michael Dawson: 6 Painful Ad Fails You Won't Believe Companies Didn't Notice (Cracked)
Not everyone can be Don Draper when it comes to advertising. Most of the time, companies are really just shooting in the dark, hoping to hit their target demographic as mercilessly as possible through a combination of subliminal messages and good old-fashioned luck. And inspirational ads are great because they make you feel good while you're being suckered into giving up your cash.
Artist Turns the Sugar Hiding in Soft Drinks into Giant Lollipops (My Modern Met)
Food photographer Henry Hargreaves took an artistic approach to finding out how much sugar's contained within various drinks for his project titled (de)hydrate. He started out by boiling the refreshments, so that the water evaporated and the sugary contents remained. He then poured the leftover caramelized mixture into lollipop molds that were based on the size of the drink's container. These giant sugary treats are meant to give consumers some perspective.
Henry Hargreaves: (de) hydrate (YouTube)
I have heard health professionals recently refer to soda as the cigarettes of our generation. I wanted to get my head around this and show what is in a soda drink once the water has been boiled away. Essentially dehydrate the 'hydrator.' I decided to take the remaining substance and pour into a lollipop mold as that's what I feel you are essentially getting- a lollipop dressed up as soda...

I was always jealous of Barbara Feldon, not just because she was fabulous, but also because I was hot for Don Adams. He was so well groomed! And such a nice dresser! And funny! OY! Get Smart was one of the best shows ever. Such a supporting cast, too: Hymie, Fang, Siegfried and Agent 13. The world was so much funnier then.

I remember when she told Maxwell smart, Agent 86
That he was worth two Agent 43s. Barbara Feldon was the sultry 99.

Barbara Feldon was someone that made my Winky stiff 50 years ago. Still eye-catching at 82. Speaking of 50 years ago….The Watts riots started 50 years ago today….Where were you during the unrest?
I was in between my freshman and sophomore year in high school enjoying the white suburban myth. Things were changing though…smoked my first joint…and it was off to the races!

Agent 99 was Barbara Feldon, and I didn't have to look it up!
Didn't get the cap pistol story in time, been busy-
When I was a kid, neighbor lady was wearing spiked heels.
She had me lay out a short strip from my roll on the ground.
She just put the tip of her heel on the cap part, and gently shifted her weight to that side.
It popped louder than my pistol did!

Just a few months after Jimmy Fallon marked his first anniversary as host of "The Tonight Show," NBC has signed him for six more years.
Calling him "the best there is," NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said Fallon, who turns 41 next month, will occupy the "Tonight" host chair until at least 2021.
Speaking to TV critics on Thursday, Greenblatt also announced that Rihanna will join "The Voice" as key adviser to the panel of judges, who will be Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell and Gwen Stefani.
Greenblatt also had two words on whether Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump would ever return as host of "The Celebrity Apprentice": "Absolutely not."
Greenblatt said the show will not be back next season, but will return in the future with a new host. He didn't speculate on whom that host might be, but said, "We're obviously looking for a host who will make noise and is a big personality."

Chelsea Manning, a soldier imprisoned for leaking classified U.S. information to pro-transparency site WikiLeaks, could face solitary confinement on charges she violated prison rules by having prohibited reading material, her attorney said on Wednesday.
Manning has been charged with a number of disciplinary infractions and will attend a hearing before a three-person discipline adjustment board on Aug. 18 at the prison, attorney Nancy Hollander said.
The alleged disciplinary infractions on July 2 and July 9 included attempted disrespect, the possession of prohibited books and magazines while under administrative segregation, medicine misuse pertaining to expired toothpaste and disorderly conduct for pushing food onto the floor, Hollander said.
The maximum penalty she faces is indefinite solitary confinement.
Items confiscated from Manning included a Vanity Fair magazine with former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, who is transitioning to life as a woman, posing in a white strapless leotard on the cover.
Do you think real-estate mogul and Republican presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump "sucks?"
If so, would you be interested in purchasing the website DonaldTrumpSucks.com?
Well, you are (probably) out of luck. Trump's company, the Trump Organization, already owns DonaldTrumpSucks.com, along with thousands of other web addresses.
A report Business Insider generated through the domain database Whoisology last week showed 3,153 web addresses are registered to the Trump Organization's general counsel. Many of these sites are not actually online, but they provide glimpses into Trump's business plans and his company's anxieties about their brands.
Obviously, the web addresses listed in this post are just a fraction of the 3,153 registered by the Trump Organization. You can peruse the full list of Trump's domain names here.

"La Coiffeuse," a cubist work by Picasso worth about $15 million, will be returned to France where it was stolen 17 years ago, US officials said.
The painting, whose name means "The Hairdresser," was recovered last year around Christmas, wrapped in parcel paper.
It had been sent via FedEx from Belgium by someone who had declared it contained an arts and crafts gift valued at $37.
But when the package was inspected, officials at the facility in Newark, New Jersey found the 33 centimeter by 46 centimeter (13 inch by 18 inch) work.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency said the painting, which is owned by the French state, will be returned to the French embassy in Washington.
An 11-year-old girl who was denied an abortion after being raped gave birth Thursday, the culmination of a case that put a spotlight on child rape in this poor South American nation and drew criticism from human rights groups.
Elizabeth Torales, a lawyer for the girl's mother, told The Associated Press that the minor gave birth to a baby girl via cesarean in a Red Cross hospital in Asuncion, Paraguay's capital. She said reported there were no complications and both the mother and baby were resting.
Hospital director Mario Villalba told reporters outside the hospital that the birth took about 35 minutes. She said the girl would remain in the hospital for three or four days, "like any other patient who has had a cesarean." She said the minor was currently accompanied by her grandmother, but declined to give more details.
The girl was allegedly raped and impregnated by her stepfather when she was 10. The stepfather has been arrested and is awaiting trial. The girl's mother has been charged with negligence.
The mother requested an abortion for her daughter, but the government refused to allow it, drawing praise from religious groups but criticism from many human rights organizations, including U.N. officials. Paraguay bans abortion except when a mother's life is in danger. At the time, the girl was five months pregnant and local health officials said she appeared to be in fine health.

A man admitted Thursday that he brought millions of dollars in counterfeit poker chips to use in a casino's poker tournament, a scheme that was uncovered when he clogged a pipe by flushing the chips down the toilet in his hotel room.
Christian Lusardi, 43, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, pleaded guilty to trademark counterfeiting and criminal mischief. Under terms of a plea agreement, Lusardi will be sentenced to five years in prison.
Authorities said Lusardi, after suspecting the fake chips had been noticed, flushed them down the toilet in his room at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, where he had been staying. But the chips clogged the pipes, and guests on the floor below complained that water was dripping into their rooms.
Maintenance was called, and the chips were found. An additional 22 tournament chips worth $5,000 were found in a clogged toilet in the Borgata the next day. A total of $3.6 million worth of tournament chips were found, although they have no actual cash value.
Lusardi will be required to pay the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa $463,540 for the revenue it lost when it canceled the 2014 tournament after discovering the fake chips. He also owes Harrah's Casino Hotel $9,455 for damaging the pipes.
Herds of feral horses are roaming on thousands of acres in Louisiana where soldiers conduct intensive training, posing a danger and a nuisance to troops at risk of being kicked, bitten or unpleasantly surprised by random piles of manure, Army officials say.
"Sometimes training has to be halted while they shoo horses out," said Kim Reischling, spokeswoman for Fort Polk, a 198,000-acre base about 20 miles from the Texas state line.
The officials are trying to find a way to deal with the approximately 700 "trespass horses," and are holding a meeting Thursday to hear input from residents and animal rights groups, among others.
Some people speculate that the horses are descended from Army cavalry horses, and a local author has self-published a children's book based on that tale. But it is more likely that they are descendants of area farm and ranch horses, said Reischling and Rita Bingham, director of the Humane Society of West Louisiana.

Researchers at Britain's Cambridge University have released letters showing how slaves were priced for sale during the 18th century, giving an insight into the wealth and influence behind the pro-slavery lobby at the time.
St. John's College, which released the papers Thursday, said the papers helped show the powerful vested interests that the abolitionists had to fight against - an often-neglected side of the story.
The papers date from the 1770s to the 1790s - during the peak of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in Britain and America - and deal with the operation of a Jamaica sugar plantation run by English businessman William Philip Perrin.
One list containing details of slaves to be bought for Perrin's plantation included entries such as "Dick, 25, able field negro, 140 pounds" and "Castile, 45, cook and washerwoman, 60 pounds." The total valuation for 54 male and female slaves came to 5,100 pounds, which researchers say is equal to around 500,000 pounds ($782,000) today.
"What these letters reveal, apart from a total lack of empathy for their human commodities, is the sheer amount of money involved," said Kathryn McKee, a librarian at the college who acquired the papers. "Many anti-slavery campaigns were grassroots efforts by ordinary people, while the pro-slavery lobby had significant wealth and influence they could use to exert pressure on parliament."
Authorities want to talk to a man who donned a fairly realistic bear costume - head and all - and wore it when harassing a bear and two sows trying to feed on pink salmon in an Alaska river.
The incident happened Monday on the Chilkoot River near Haines, said Alaska Fish and Game Assistant Area Management Biologist Mark Sogge.
A crowd had gathered at a weir, used to count fish, because the sow and two cubs have frequently been showing up there to feed during the salmon run.
The crowd, which is kept at a safe distance from the weir, became startled when a man decked out in a bear outfit ran through the area Monday evening.
The man began to jump up and down, and then got close to the cubs, within five to 10 feet, Sogge said.
