CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - Thirty-five animals at a zoo in the northern Mexico state of Chihuahua have frozen to death during the region's coldest weather in six decades.

Serengeti Zoo owner Alberto Hernandez says 14 parrots, 13 serpents, five iguanas, two crocodiles and a capuchin monkey died. He said Saturday that power failures cut off electrical heating at the zoo in the town of Aldama.

Temperatures have dropped to 9 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 13 Celsius) in the area, the coldest weather in 60 years.

What's the weather like in Charlotte today? If it's cold, that pretty concrete proof that global warming is a FRAUD

For those who don't make it over to the Pen...very good comments from Newt Gingrich on Mandela

For the PNNers...The Obama's go to Mandela's funeral.

Michelle didnt like Barack getting close to that white woman.

[sardis]

On another note, it's interesting to see Republicans and conservatives issue statements of sympathy for the passing of Mandela. If the Reagan Administration and Republicans had gotten their way, Nelson Mandela would've died in prison and the apartheid regime would still be in place. Dick Cheney himself called Mandela a communist terrorist. The National Review openly defended Apartheid and said it was far preferable to even the hint of a left-wing govt taking over in South Africa.

Why do you lie, DSL?

" His ex-wife Winnie Mandela, whom he quickly jettisoned when it became clear she was a considerable embarrassment to his political career"

Is that supposed to be a criticism?

LOL on the picture sequences. Every married man has been there.

[Professor Tiger]

Also LOL at the pix. I was especially amused that, in that last one, Michelle was sitting between her husband and that other woman.

[Johnette's Daddy]

LOL on the picture sequences. Every married man has been there.

"I saw her looking at you."

"Saw who looking at me?"

"Don't you patronize me! I know what I saw!"

And that's when it's best to just surrender.

[sardis]

The "She's just friendly to everybody" explanation never seems to get any traction...

Megyn Kelly insists both Santa and Jesus are white.

[billy bob bocephus]

so, what do you insist they are, o most knowledgeable basement dweller?

[Cletus]

Fictional characters so they can be whatever you'd like them to be.

[Dr. Strangelove]

The historical Jesus, if he existed, is likely to have looked like he came from a family that had lived in the Middle East for 2000 years. In other words, he was probably a lot like today's Middle Eastern folks. Not the paragon of the Nordic race with light sandy brown hair that Megyn Kelly imagines he must have been. It's interesting and telling that if you look at depictions of Jesus from early Ethiopian Christians or Christians in medieval China, Jesus always has the same race as the artist.

As for Santa, what's the psychological motivation behind someone who gets pissed off at the idea of a black Santa? His origins are in european folklore, sure, but he's a mythical, magical creature.
