Happy birthday Mark Twain

Today’s Google doodle is a scene from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.  Have you wondered why this specific scene was picked? It’s believed to be an important scene in the history of American literature because of the way the characters are vividly portrayed, the satire and the wit of a child.

He was forced to whitewash the fence as a punishment from his aunt, Polly, for getting into a fight and coming home with muddied clothes. Tom’s whimsicality earned him a clean, painted fence, the admiration of his aunt and lots of gifts from his peers!

Happy 176^th birthday, Mark Twain!

Huckabee Links Pornography to Islam

Mike Huckabee, you’re the bee that’s busy promoting bigotry all over the media. You don’t offend me because your arguments are those of a simpleton. I doubt your efforts would go anywhere beyond the likes of you; those who are ignorant enough to believe Bin Madden and his group represent Islam. Go on. Rejoice in your madness. And while at it, let intellectuals and their likes happily link you to Bin Madden.

Rant over…
