  1. Even the Tooth Fairy Is Broke These Days<\/a> – Jeez. Kay still gets just a dollar (but a dollar coin, so it’s moderately special).<\/li>\n
  2. Fashion Industry Salivates Over Creepy Photos Of 10-Year-Old French Girl<\/a> – Holy crud, someone feed that girl, please! I’ve seen beefier arms on Somali famine victims.<\/li>\n
  3. Rick Perry’s Killing of an Innocent Man Is Somehow a Political Asset<\/a> – They do love their blood.<\/li>\n
  4. Obama: Debt Ceiling Deal Required Tough Concessions By Both Democrats And Democrats Alike | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source<\/a> – Once again, the Onion makes me laugh as well as leaving the bitter taste of truth in my mouth.<\/li>\n
