Tom Danehy: Tom thinks there might have been a good reason for Arizona to still be under the Voting Rights Act (Tucson Weekly)
But now go back to that Republican guy. Look at him closely and tell me if you would trust that guy to stand up for the voting rights of all Americans, including those who don't look or think like him. If the guy is in the state Legislature in Arizona (or Texas or Virginia or a whole lot of other places), the answer is, sadly, a resounding no. He'll stand up for the voting rights of people who look and think like him. He considers that his patriotic duty because he's steadily running out of people who look and think like him.
John Cheese: 5 Common Reactions That Make You Regret a Good Deed (Cracked)
Good deeds can be a fickle bitch. Even if you have demon parents who taught you nothing but destruction and gloom, you're still bombarded from birth with messages of "Help your fellow man" from virtually every song, movie, TV show, and video game in existence.
The Flowbee is an electrically powered vacuum cleaner attachment made for cutting hair. It was invented in 1988 by Rick Hunt, a San Diego, California carpenter. Hunt initially sold the Flowbees out of his garage before finding success with live demonstrations at a county fair. The product was advertised as being capable of performing "hundreds of precision layered haircuts" in frequently aired late-night television infomercials. By 2000, two million Flowbees had been sold.
The Flowbee can also be used to groom dogs with long hair such as Maltese or Bichon Frisé with a special pet grooming attachment which is sold separately. The Flowbee is still being manufactured and sold via their factory direct website and various outlets across the Internet.

Boy, I remember this one. Flowbee, is an electrically powered vacuum attachment made for cutting hair.
Whatever happened to this anyway? With the cost of haircuts nowadays, I would think this would still be a viable product.

I have no idea how I know this trivia answer, but I believe it's used for hair-cutting.
My step-dad used to cut us kids hair himself. We dreaded it more than a spanking.
We could hide the spanking results under our pants, but the awful haircuts were a constant source of ridicule from the other kids.
Luckily, a teacher phoned my parents up and told them the haircuts were in fact, no good.
Since then, I always enjoy a proper professional cut, although I did wear my hair really long for years, requiring little cutting.
It really amuses me that choppy, ill-formed haircuts are the norm nowadays.

Comic and daytime television host Ellen DeGeneres was picked to host the Academy Awards for the second time.
Show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced DeGeneres' selection Friday. The movie awards show will air on ABC on March 2.
Last year's host, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, drew mixed reviews for an edgy performance that included a song-and-dance number, "We Saw Your Boobs," about actresses who had gone topless on screen. He had already taken himself out of the running for a return engagement next year.
Academy Awards organizers had hoped to attract a younger audience with MacFarlane, and the ratings showed they succeeded.
With DeGeneres, they went for a star that Hollywood and television viewers were familiar and comfortable with.

Filmmaking brothers Joel and Ethan Coen will be adapting their Oscar-winning 1996 film "Fargo" into a television series for Fox's FX network, with actor Billy Bob Thornton in the lead role, the network said on Friday.
"Fargo," a black comedy of crime in a rural Midwestern town starring Frances McDormand and William H. Macy, is the inspiration for a 10-episode miniseries, FX said in a statement. The Coens will be executive producers.
Oscar-winning actor Thornton, 57, will play Lorne Malvo, a character described by FX as "a rootless, manipulative man who meets a small town insurance salesman and sets him on a path of destruction." New characters and a new case will be introduced in the dark comedy.
The show will be filmed in Canada, and the series is expected to premiere on the basic cable channel in spring 2014.
Heritage Auctions says the original pen and ink cover of "The Dark Knight Returns" No. 2 drawn by artist and writer Frank Miller has sold for $478,000 at auction.

Snow and frigid temperatures didn't stop thousands of screaming teenagers from crowding into the Washington Coliseum in the nation's capital for the Beatles first live concert on American soil.
And not having a flash didn't stop photographer Mike Mitchell, then just 18 years old, from using his unrestricted access to document that historic February night in 1964 using only the dim light in the arena.
Ghostly shadows and streams of light filled some negatives. With the help of modern technology and close to 1,000 hours in front of the computer screen, Mitchell was able to peel back decades of grunge and transform those old negatives into a rare, artful look at one of pop culture's defining moments.
Mitchell's portraits of the Beatles are the centerpiece of a monthlong exhibition at the David Anthony Fine Art gallery in Taos - the first time the prints have been exhibited since being unveiled in 2011 at a Christie's auction in New York City. The gallery started hanging the first of the framed prints a week ago in preparation for Friday's opening.
Federal officials failed to consider environmental hazards when they gave two companies permission to resume domestic horse slaughter, attorneys for animal rights groups seeking to halt the opening of the slaughterhouses argued Friday.
The Department of Agriculture issued the permits in June, and the plants in New Mexico and Iowa plan to open Monday.
But animal welfare groups are seeking a restraining order from U.S. District Judge Christina Armijo, saying the slaughterhouses should be forced to undergo public review under provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act.
No environmental impact study has ever been done to examine the effects of horse slaughter, Bruce Wagman, a lawyer for The Humane Society of the United States, the Colorado-based Front Range Equine Rescue and other plaintiffs argued in court on Friday. Horses are given more than 100 drugs not approved for other feed animals, he said.
But attorneys representing the USDA and the meat companies said the groups presented no evidence to back their assertions that those drugs would pose environmental dangers through waste runoff or other means, arguing the plaintiffs were simply in court because they are morally opposed to horse slaughter and are looking for a way to delay the plants while the lobby Congress for a ban on horse slaughter.

Mexican authorities seeking to ban drug ballads known as "narco-corridos" have levied one of their stiffest punishments yet against the music, fining concert promoters 100,000 pesos (almost $8,000) for a weekend performance in the northern city of Chihuahua.
Authorities said Friday the city-imposed fine was for a performance Saturday by Alfredo Rios, better known as "El Komander," one of the best-known singers of the "Altered Movement" genre whose lyrics frequently focus on shootouts, killings and guns.
Thousands of people in the border state of Chihuahua have died in drug-related violence in recent years, and starting about three years ago, authorities in the state capital decided to try to discourage songs that glorify drug trafficking or crime.
Javier Torres, the Chihuahua City assistant government secretary, said the concert promoters had been forced to forfeit a 100,000-peso deposit they posted prior to the weekend concert.
Concert organizers seem to have accepted the lost deposits as one of the prices of bringing well-known acts to the city. And Rios, who didn't have to pay any fine, has no plans to change his repertoire.

It's been a good week for CNN's "The Lead" host Jake Tapper. First, he was voted one of TheHill.com's 50 Most Beautiful People in Washington, D.C. (he came in an #11), and now he's set to make his acting debut on online soap opera "All My Children."
Tapper was on the set to film a segment for "The Lead" about the soap's return in online format. Apparently, they liked him so much they convinced him to stick around Pine Valley as "Spencer Phillips," a reporter from the fictional show "Business News Update." Sounds like Tapper's got a cushier job than Phillips.
Tapper's big debut will air on Monday, August 12. In other news personality cameo news, Charlie Rose will appear on the second-to-last episode of "Breaking Bad." Fox News' Shepard Smith has been rallying for a role on "True Blood," but so far he's come up empty.

Scientists have identified microbeads from facial cleansers and toothpastes as the major sources of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes, and based on their findings, the companies producing them are actually making a change.
It's certainly no surprise that the Great Lakes are polluted, what with an estimated 37 million people living around them. However, the majority of that pollution apparently doesn't come from industrial runoff, but instead from our bathroom sinks. The problem of microplastic pollution has been studied for years now, and some of the most recent findings were discussed at the National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society back in April . Of all the plastic floating around in the lakes, the fast majority of it is in the form of tiny pellets - some larger, like those used in plastics production, but much of it was so small you could only see it clearly under a microscope.
Scientists working with the 5 Gyres Institute - an organization whose goal is eliminating the plastic floating around in our oceans, lakes and other waterways - did the 'leg work' on this, collecting samples from Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie, and then tracking down the source. Their search led them straight to pharmacy shelves and the products we use every day to clean our faces and brush our teeth.
"The ones in the store, under a scanning electron microscope, matched the same size, colour, texture, and shape as the micro-beads in our samples in the Great Lakes," said Marcus Eriksen, the research director of 5 Gyres, in an interview with CBC Thunder Bay's Superior Morning.
Each tube of cleanser apparently had around 330,000 of these beads, and all of it washes down the drain and into the lakes.

Uruguay is poised to become the first nation to create a legal, regulated marijuana market, encouraging growers and sellers to produce enough pot to keep users from depending on illegal drug traffickers.
The plan to put the government at the centre of a legal marijuana industry has made it halfway through the congress, giving President Jose Mujica a long-sought victory in his effort to explore alternatives to the global war on drugs.
"I'm an old man ... I never smoked marijuana, but I have come to notice what the life of young people is like," Mujica said Thursday in a radio address defending the proposal that was approved late Wednesday by congress' lower house. "The consumption is already happening - it's around every corner, and it comes from a clandestine market that by nature has ferocious rules. It's a monopoly of mafias."
Mujica said that for every 10 deaths by drug overdose, there are 100 people murdered by drug traffickers or shot down in the fight against organized crime.
The move drew both praise and criticism Thursday as word spread that 50 of 96 lawmakers in the lower house of congress had voted in favour. It now goes to the Senate, where approval is expected.
