Stephen Colbert Gives Jeff Bezos the Finger — Twice
Stephen Colbert Gives Jeff Bezos the Finger — Twice.
Amazon is messing with the wrong guy.
A few days after best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell came out against the online retailer for raising prices and delaying shipments of his books because of a dispute with publisher Hachette, Colbert has done the same. Colbert’s plaint, however, is funnier.
During a segment on Wednesday night’s Colbert Report, Colbert announced he was “mad prime” at Amazon for its latest actions. In particular, Colbert mocked Amazon’s suggestion that consumers in the market for his books should buy a used copy.
[Editor’s note: I think writer Sherman Alexie is correct. This is a battle between two big companies and the person(s) to support are the authors, who are getting smashed by both sides in this battle.]

Photo finish Friday: “Honestly”
Ol’ Abe and his axe.
After years of chopping down trees, Abe came to his first flower garden and, honestly, wasn’t sure what to do. It was the first time in a long time he had had to axe himself a question. So, he stood and stood and stood, and waited for the answer.

Photo finish Friday: “To the point”
The mustache disguise.
In order to escape a man named Stan, who said he only wanted to give her a glass unicorn because it reminded him of her, Stella the Unicorn started wearing a mustache disguise.
Stan said the glass unicorn was only a metaphor, nothing more.
Stella said it was a mixed metaphor, as well as a mixing of plays, which was something Stan didn’t understand.
More’s the pity, Stella thought, because Stan was kind of cute in that lumpish way human males were. But that wasn’t the point.
Stan, unlike her fake mustache, could grow him, but Stella knew it wouldn’t lead to anything lasting. It never did with humans.

Photo finish Friday: “Love on the rocks”
Sometimes love is literally on the rocks. Or, at least spelled out on them.
With something like this you could “fall in love.”
Or, love is just a stone’s throw away.

Photo finish Friday: “Sign of the times”
Would you buy a yard (of anything) from this “man”?
Does this mean that all the best buys have already been “picked clean”?

Unable to go to sleep before a big anatomy test, the veterinary student got up and mapped out the horse bones … on the side of a horse.

Photo finish Friday: “Half of it”
Sometimes, a relationship just doesn’t hold together.
The man in the waders
by David E. Booker
The man in waders
met the woman in half.
When others saw them,
they thought they were daft.
They met at the creek,
down by the water’s edge.
It was a salvage operation
of the heart it is said.
She could not say
where her lower half went.
Like a little mermaid
she was half woman, half rent.
The relationship didn’t last.
Alas it is said,
the fact she had no bottom
went straight to his head.
