“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Headline irony, brought to you by the Denver Post


"Woman warned against feeding wildlife, eaten by bear"

--In the evenings, Donna Munson liked to sit in front of her picture window and watch the bears amble toward her Ouray County log cabin for dinner.
The 74-year-old woman — who stocked her backyard with dog food, fruit and yogurt — was found dead outside her home Friday, being eaten by a bear.

Once you start regularly feeding wild animals, they come to expect to be fed. And they don't particularly care what you feed them....even if it's yourself.

I can't explain it but, killing yourself in unusually dumb or ironic ways is quite appealing to me. I really can't get enough of these stories.
