Someone died in a local traffic accident because of some stupid ass.   Stray donkey causes fatal crash on I-45

I swear that traffic was lighter today than normal, even though I left for work later than I normally do.  I wouldn't doubt if people are staying home out of fear that Satan is waiting for them.  Maybe they're just in line to see the remake of The Omen, which opens today (of course).  Then again, maybe it's all just a big misunderstanding.  Beast's Real Mark Devalued to '616'

For the first time since a concerted effort to return art stolen by the Nazis during the Holocasut began, a painting is being returned from Texas - the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth to be exact.  Kudos to them.  Honestly though, the artwork doesn't seem like anything to write home about.

Glaucus and Scylla, a magnificent 1841 circular painting on wood that has long been a highlight of the Kimbell's permanent collection, was purchased in 1902 by Jewish art collectors John and Anna Jaffe, British citizens who lived in Nice, France. After Anna's death, in 1942, the painting was among 60 items confiscated by the pro-Nazi Vichy government in Nice. It was sold in 1943 at an auction of "Jewish property." The Kimbell purchased it in the mid-'60s from a gallery in New York.



Big special election in California today to fill the House seat left open due to the resignation of Republican Randy "Duke" Cunningham after pleading guilty to corruption charges.  Final polls show Republican Brian Bilbray and Democrat Francine Busby in a dead heat.  Busby lost to Cunningham in 2004 by a 20 percent margin, so the question is whether the impending close results have to say about this case of corruption in particular versus people's views on Republicans in general.
