...those who foster anything from a keener-than-normal interest in the bushy-tailed, beady-eyed rodents that inhibit the Yard to a flatout bizarre obsession with Harvard squirrels, fear not! Although society may look down upon you, the Harvard Squirrel Archive (yes, you read that correctly) will teach you more about the long history between squirrel and school...
...hooked on THE_REAL_SHAQ. It might have been the random, personal confessions, or the innovative language, or the direct conversations with many of his more than 500,000 followers. When Shaq was at the Alamo a few weeks ago, he said he was going to buy a squirrel tail hat; after one desperate follower begged him not to, Shaq listened, writing, “ok for u I wnt buy it.” (PETA would be proud, Shaq!)

In Mad 2 we get some penguins and a lemur, all balm to the comic spirit...

Bush dominated this one by 25 points in 2004, and Republican Roger Wicker held its congressional seat without much trouble for seven straight elections before he was appointed to the Senate to replace Trent Lott. But last spring Childers became a national symbol of Democratic resurgence when he defeated Republican Greg Davis to win Wicker's vacated seat, and his apparent advantage in their upcoming rematch has been described as a metaphor for GOP problems this fall. After gaining 31 House seats in 2006, Democrats...
