Ron Paul Knew All About His Beloved Racist Newsletters [Ron Paul]
The Washington Post is out with an excellent update on the history of the racist, homophobic, survivalist, nutcase newspapers that were published under his name in the 80s and 90s, which comes awfully close to confirming the most likely version of the story: He may not have written every word of them, but he sure signed off on them and wanted them written that way to pick up more subscribers and make more money.

You Mean You Only Have One Vagina? [Anatomy]
The topic of women with two vaginas has been fertile (sorry) territory for Tyra Banks. But now it appears the condition may be pretty common. The World Health Organization says 1 in every 3,000 women has a double-vadge, and the director of maternal fetal medicine at a Philly hospital says, "We see many couples, maybe one a month or more" (I guess he means straight couples where the lady has two vaginas, although if two women who each had two got together, that would be sort of awesome). Maybe those of us with singleton ladybits (ladybit?) should consider ourselves poorly-endowed. More »

Man Hacked in the Face Defending an Orphanage Justifiably Rewarded [Charity]
A few days ago, a Kenyan man named Omari was released from the hospital after recovering from injuries sustained while defending an orphanage from a band of roving thugs— by himself. They slashed him in the face with a machete, leaving him with a large wound that required stitches. After the incident, a founder of the Logonot Education Initiative appealed to community members of Reddit, asking for $2,000 so the orphanage could build a wall to protect them. A modest request for a worthy cause. So, how much did they raise for Omari and the orphanage? More »

Seal Opens Up About Heidi: 'You Just Grow Apart' [Video]
Seal was on Access Hollywood today, spilling the contents of his heart to his ski buddy Billy Bush. In a voice that's equal parts whiskey and honey, Seal hinted that traveling, fame and tough schedules may have been the culprit — "when you decide to be globally known, you've got to service the globe. You just grow apart," he said. "It is what it is." He was not the scary, violent-tempered "monster" the tabloids have been calling him, and he seemed very concerned about his children: "We talked to them, we tried to explain as best we could, what is going on… Things will be different. The main thing is to make sure that they feel that they're loved." More »

The Definitive Guide To Derogatory Auto Acronyms [LOLCars]
I was pleased when Fiat announced their return to America, but, now that the brand is settling in, I realized there's an issue. See, any new 500 driver with a flat or a dead battery is now going to have to endure the cries of "Fix It Again, Tony!" — the beloved-by-many-meatheads derogatory acronym for Fiat — from passing motorists, which many Americans have been desperately waiting two decades to once again yell.

Some Ideas for Saving Newt Gingrich's Collapsing Florida Campaign [Video]
God, Newt Gingrich blew it so badly in last night's debate. After lobbying for several days to allow debate audiences to cheer again, and landing Wolf Blitzer, the most destructible sally of a debate moderator in world history, he simply allowed Mitt Romney to take advantage of the crowd and win the debate and couldn't even scream Wolf Blitzer back into his cubby hole of sadness once.

The Rodarte Sisters List Their Favorite Buffy Episodes [Rag Trade]
Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte have listed their favorite episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, whom they call "one of the most powerful female characters ever developed." Included are Season 2's "Passion," and "Becoming" (the one where she kills Angel), Season 3's "Consequences" and "Prom," Season 4's silent episode "Hush," Season 6's sing-along "Once More, With Feeling," and Season 7's "Conversations With Dead People." The Mulleavy sisters write that, "Before she was 'chosen' to be a slayer, Buffy Summers was a typical teenage girl with average ambitions. She seemed like the ditzy blonde that is usually murdered alone in the alleyway." That difference between her appearance and her abilities is, they say, one of the greatest things about the cult show. "She was asked to save the world in every episode. She lost her mother, her life (a few times), and those nearest to her. She was almost always selfless, and always fast with a quip. She was always the person to root for." What's your favorite episode? [Rookie] More »

Report: Hyundai says Elantra sales to slow because factory can't keep up with demand
Filed under: Car Buying, Coupe, Budget, Sedan, Plants/Manufacturing, Hyundai
Hyundai's Elantra has been on fire, with sales up 41 percent last year. The compact sedan won North American Car of the Year in January, and the icing on the cake will be a new coupe bodystyle that will soon be landing at dealers. But all is not completely well, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Hyundai expects Elantra sales to run into a brick wall of limited production capacity, as the company's Montgomery, Alabama plant is already operating at 110 percent. The plant, which builds the Elantra and its big brother, the midsize Sonata, churned out 338,000 units in 2011. Hyundai sold over 186,000 Elantra models in the U.S. last year.
With Hyundai posting 20 percent overall sales growth in the U.S. in 2011, it clearly needs to address its capacity bottleneck. Speculation is building that the company will soon announce plans to build another North American assembly plant.
