Do you have $26 dollars?  Are you a hunter looking to kill things on state land in Florida?  Well, my friend, do I have a deal for you!  The Florida Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has announced that they’re organizing a special hunt for invasive species like pythons, anacondas, and monitor lizards which are harming Florida’s environment.  From March 8 through April 16, you can bag as many non-native snakes as you can shoot, stab, or smash, so get your fill and upgrade those boots!  It’s like a real-life version of Springfield’s Whacking Day from The Simpsons!  Here’s the details, including the species of snakes you can bag, the rules of the hunt, and areas permitted.  It’s time for man to finish the culling nature started.

Like TreeHugger, I’m wondering where PETA stands on this issue.

We all know PETA is against eating snakes, but they also want to preserve and save the environment.  Every year, these pythons and other invasive species cause millions of dollars worth of damage to Florida, kill native species, wreck the habitat of endangered animals, and generally cause nothing but problems.  So… does PETA kill one species to save many others?  I’d think yes.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
