...describe the plot of this travesty. Allow me to do my best. The video, presented in stereoscopic 3D, opens with a creature—best described as the bastard child of a yak and a mastodon—lapping from a stream. There is, in fact, a herd of these creatures, and Björk sits among them, camouflaged in vaguely Asian clothing replete with an absurd hat and an old backpack. As she warbles unintelligibly, Björk sits atop one of the beasts and takes off down the river. Now things get really weird. The yaks...

He then experienced angelic visitations that empowered him to escape slavery and guided him to safety. Patrick eventually returned home, but continued to hear angels and the voice of the Irish, which encouraged him to return to walk amongst...
...know those exact numbers. The slow pace of the counting (and some other reasons too complex to mention here) led the state party to halt its progressive count and simply hold off announcing the precinct results until March 29. But both campaigns now realize that they must ride herd on their delegates each step of the way to be sure their anointed delegates remain loyal to the candidate. As with most caucuses, they are allowed to switch their candidates even after the actual caucuses are finished, at least until the county convention; in Colorado, there have already been reports...
