The fine people of Santa Catarina, Brazil inadvertently brought a bit of paganism back to the season this year by not properly wiring their traditional fifty-foot Santa. Nice one.

Remember back in April when conservative Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity told guest Charles Grodin, on camera and in front of millions of witnesses, that he’d submit to be waterboarded to raise money for U.S. troops and their families?
GRODIN: Would you consent to be waterboarded? We can waterboard you?
HANNITY: Sure.
GRODIN: Are you busy on Sunday?
HANNITY: I’ll do it for charity. I’ll let you do it. I’ll do it for the troops’ families.
Remember how Keith Olbermann then upped the ante on Hannity by offering him $1,000 per second that he was able to withstand the torture (which Hannity called “enhanced interrogation” sans even a trace of irony)?
Well, this morning we checked in at the Waterboard Hannity for Charity website to see that generous members of the public are willing to donate up to $10 million if Hannity is able to withstand 300 seconds of waterboarding enhanced interrogation. If he can last even a single minute, he’ll be able to give over $2 million to the families of U.S. troops.
Unlike many of you reading this, I’m not cynical about this—okay I’m lying through my teeth—I just want to see Hannity man up, do what he said he would do and raise more money in 60 seconds for a good cause than has probably ever been raised before in a single minute in history!
It’s almost Christmas. Sean, you can make a huge difference in the lives of these families. You said you would do it, so do it.
If not, why not?
Take a listen. It’s sorta hypnotic.

I strongly urge you to check out the interior photos of this Lincoln Bugazzi. From Auto Blog:
We’re beginning to think that George Barris’ movie cars were more restrained than his customer cars—and that Dolemite had the man on speed dial. Barris built the car you see above: a Bugazzi (boo-GOT-zee), which started out as a 1972 Lincoln Mark IV and was turned into “an American version of a Rolls-Royce.”
That means it’s been slathered in thirty coats of pearl lacquer and trimmed with 24-carat gold-leaf, hand-applied pinstripes. Up front are two lanterns where the headlights would normally go. Inside, you’ll find gold, suede upholstery, Persian rugs, Italian doorhandles mounted on Italian marble slabs, a television, and a back seat wet bar. That could explain why the car cost $10,000 more than a Rolls. Or not.
Find of the Day: Barris-built 1972 Lincoln Bugazzi has interior like a dictator’s bathroom
Is Sen. Jim Inhofe jealous of Sarah Palin’s starring role as pied piper to the idiot wing of the Republican party, or is he perhaps trying to position himself as a potential running mate for her in 2012? It’s hard to tell what the silliest Senator from Oklahoma was thinking, or if he’s really capable of much thinking at all. Witness what the witless Republican had waiting for him when he showed up in Copenhagen with his “message” of a Hollywood conspiracy that’s behind global warming:
Sen. Jim Inhofe flew across the Atlantic and ?
I have no idea if this is real or not. I’ll let you be the judge.
