Background: Missouri has horribly lax gun laws, and is working to eliminate the laws they still have.
Today’s issue: Some lawmakers want to require schools to post the Ten Commandments in school.
Sen. Jamie Burger supports the law because he thinks that the increase in school shootings is a result of the absence of prayer in schools.
Sometimes legislators just make it too easy to take—you should excuse the expression—potshots at them.

I was scrolling on my homepage when I saw an ad for shorts that are “Long enough for 67-year-old legs”. The picture shows shorts that are knee-length, stopping just above the knee, which is great—but they were on 20-something legs. Either that, or there was some serious airbrushing—but you could tell that that wasn’t the case.
There’s nothing wrong with younger women wearing the shorts—but if you want to make your case convincing, show the shorts on 67-year-old legs—you know, the ones with the dry, wrinkly knees.

If you’re into conspiracy theories, think about this one.
I work in business, specifically with invoices, and I have noticed that there is an astonishing waste of paper in the invoice industry. It’s almost like someone is financing businesses to use as much paper as possible.
At least 2 companies that I deal with have 1 sheet of paper with necessary information, and three—no lie!—pages of filler. Others have a 1-to-1 ratio. I take the time to only print the necessary page, but I know other people who hit “Print” and just throw the extra pages away. “It gets recycled,” they say. News Flash: That takes energy; and you’re still killing trees to get that wasted paper.
Some companies have the useful information in one PDF and the filler—terms of payment, etc.—on another, so you only have to print what you need. So, it is possible not to waste paper on the verbiage that no one reads.
So, seriously, what’s the deal? Is there an evil genius behind the Waste Paper Movement?
Think of the rain forests, people! Think of the pine forests! We need them more than we need wasted paper.
