Signs That This Election (Coupled With My Own Independent Historical Research) Has Mentally and Emotionally Exhausted Me

WARNING!
Do NOT idly search baby kittens on Petfinder, or you end up with something like this and then you get all teary-eyed from the cuteness and have a hard time explaining to your coworkers why you’re getting all weepy in the middle of the afternoon.

Beluga whale haters, go home!
Let it be known I had to pass by some horrible Google images of harpooned whales in order to get this image. While I searched, my eyes welled up with tears while Sarah Palin laughed callously and used my tears to wash down the baby beluga sauteed in Alaskan oil that she ate for breakfast this morning.
Read more truth about Sarah Palin here and here.

The future of the news as we know it?
Sometimes I wonder if the AP makes this stuff up. Ol’ McDonald reports that cow named Apple chases bear away from favorite apple tree? Really?
HYGIENE, Colo. (AP) -- Residents of a rural Colorado town say a cow named Apple chased off a bear that had climbed into her favorite apple tree. Jack McDonald of Hygiene, about 30 miles northwest of Denver, said the bear had climbed out of the tree when the cow approached it Sunday afternoon.
McDonald says the animals touched noses and hung out together for a bit before Apple chased the bear off.
''It was hilarious,'' McDonald says.
There's no sign that either animal was hurt.
Apple belongs to McDonald's landlady, Nancy Dayton, who has a house and three rental units on 14 acres.
Dayton says Apple weighs about 1,200 pounds and is more pet than livestock. She got her name because she loves to eat apples from the tree the bear had invaded.

Why did the peacock cross the road?
I guess the first question we should ask is, Why pick a peacock of the side of the road?

More animals
Ummm.... What the hell is this video and why had I not seen it before? The Times has an article about the guy who shot it while on a safari and how the video's YouTube popularity drew in big time buyers.

As long as we're talking about God's creatures...
What the hell was that fish on Top Chef last night? Good gravy. I would not come within six feet of that thing, dead or alive. I promise not to eat it as long as it will not eat me. Deal.
Just Because
A team of scientists is doing some serious research into the genetic make-up of the duck-billed platypus, figuring out just what makes this creature a freaky mammalian-reptilian specimen.
That's all well and good, but I personally like Disney's take on the creature: Perry the Platypus, international figure of espionage who makes the best sound an animal can make. Compare with the orange player below--it's scarily accurate.
