See how the toy dragon seems to follow the camera with its eyes?
Well, it's not really moving at all. It's paper. Last night I cut it out and taped it together, and that's it. It's not an in-camera effect-it looks just like that in real life. It's just one of the coolest optical illusions ever.

A group sponsored a sarcastic “Name Ann Coulter’s Next Book” contest. The winner was “Roosevelt: Wheelchair-Riding, America-Hating Terrorist.” Ann, not to be outdone, submitted her own entries:
“Tuesdays With Morons.”
“The Five People You Meet in Line at the Welfare Office.”
“It Takes a Village to Raise a Kid With A.D.H.D., Rage Issues, and an Eating Disorder.”
“Their Eyes Were Watching God and Banning Him From Public Schools.”
“The Dan Rather Code.”
“He’s Just Not That Into Jews: The George Soros Story.”

I really admire her for the way she’s handling this adversity:
The experience of the last five months in Alderson, West Virginia has been life altering and life affirming. Someday, I hope to have the chance to talk more about all that has happened, the extraordinary people I have met here and all that I have learned. I can tell you now that I feel very fortunate to have had a family that nurtured me, the advantage of an excellent education, and the opportunity to pursue the American dream. You can be sure that I will never forget the friends that I met here, all that they have done to help me over these five months, their children, and the stories they have told me.
Right now, as you can imagine, I am thrilled to be returning to my more familiar life. My heart is filled with joy at the prospect of the warm embraces of my family, friends and colleagues. Certainly, there is no place like home.
When considering that many expected her to be destroyed by this, her success in emerging from it must be considered a triumph.

Can you use, like, a laugh? This is one of the funniest things ever.
