...Shared bathrooms, bacheloresque cooking mishaps - it's a fitting lifestyle for a group whose official perks include, according to Wikipedia, "low-cost haircuts" and a gym membership. Also, their signature is worth as much as a stamp. (Which, come to the think of it, was the hallmark of another penny-ante House scandal of the '90s.) And as for that Congressional pin that can get you around Hill metal detectors, well, that and $2,800 can buy you a really nice dinner. It's not even much of a chick magnet; in 2003, New Jersey Representative Mike Ferguson made...

A million Hallmark calendars have been sold on the enduring appeal of such images; that Cuteoverload.com could acquire 65,000 readers and hundreds of comments per day by designing a pleasant blog around them makes total sense...
...what to make of the other images on Cuteoverload.com? A tiny snail. A lizard curled up in the palm of someone's hand. Giant plush-toy versions of the e. coli and Gonnorhea viruses. And, genius though the concept may be, one suspects that Hallmark stores will not be featuring an aisle devoted to "cats'n' racks" - the site's term for the photo genre featuring felines nestled between breasts - any time soon...
