This is way cooler than what the Muppets were dishing out yesterday. Sesame Street represent!

The Muppets Take O’Reilly of the Day: Following Bill O’Reilly’s Pulitzer-prize baiting exposé on how Sesame Street is nothing more than a front for far-left indoctrination factory, Sesame Workshop veep Sherrie Westin appeared on last night’s show to plead with Fox News viewers to keep letting her company Svengali their kids into a life of Socialist servitude, and even introduced a new Muppet character modeled after the network’s flagship bloviator: Spill O’Reilly — a grouchy talking head who professes to be an equal opportunity antagonizer.

Jody Hill is some kind of genius.

Lights Out: Let Eastbound & Down executive producer Jody Hill lull you to sleep with his Andy Daly-starring music video for The Avett Brothers’ “Slight Figure Of Speech.”

And by “lull you to sleep” I mean ensure perpetual laughter keeps you awake forever.

“I am freaked out. Costco depresses me. I know everybody doesn’t have the same opportunities I do to visit farm stands and little markets, but I will fight to the end for inspirational shopping. Costco doesn’t even look like it belongs on our planet. It could be on the moon. It has no relationship to the outside world as I know it. The lighting, the temperature, the outrageous abundance. The store has no life and no contact with anything that comes from the earth. Everything is packaged, sterile, clinical. Nothing about the food is emotional. And there is a wicked genius at work, mixing the organic with the terribly processed.”

- Eric Ripert inside a Costco ends up being one of the funniest premises on earth. Clickthrough for much much more.

you know, I’m very excited to see Pixies play Doolittle in its entirety next week, but the record’s barely 40 minutes long. They better be throwing in some extras for good measure because those tickets were a splurge.

Uniformed Letter Carrier with Child in Mailbag

Description: This city letter carrier posed for a humorous photograph with a young boy in his mailbag. After parcel post service was introduced in 1913, at least two children were sent by the service. With stamps attached to their clothing, the children rode with railway and city carriers to their destination. The Postmaster General quickly issued a regulation forbidding the sending of children in the mail after hearing of those examples.

Creator/Photographer: Unidentified photographer

Medium: Black and white photographic print

Culture: American

Geography: USA

Date: 1900

Collection: U.S. Postal Employees

Repository: National Postal Museum
