They Left the Idiot-House Doors Open Again

Meet Morty

This is Morty. He came to live with me recently. I think he's adorable. He's found a comfortable spot for himself in the sunroom.









Morty is the creation of Reed Designs from their Etsy shop. He was featured on the front page and I had to have him (it's the only time I've ever bought anything off the front page). I was also proud to be Reed Designs first sale.

Yup.

Um, yeah.

Today's Reality Check: Toxic Sludge Wipes Out Seven Towns

 

"Burning-hot toxic mud blankets towns: Tunde Erdelyi holds her cat after toxic red sludge five feet high flooded into her home in Devecser, Hungary. A rupture at an alumina plant reservoir resulted in flooding that engulfed seven towns, causing at least four deaths, six missing and 120 injured, in what Hungarian officials are calling an "ecological catastrophe." The mud burned several people through their clothes."
