The Most Famous Fictional Character In Every State
Matt Shirley and Sean Noyce created a map of the United States that features what they think may be the most famous fictional character in each state.
Of course Charlie Brown is the most famous fictional character from Minnesota, but is Marty McFly really more famous than Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Zack Morris or The Terminator?

Know Your Frost Zone
Do you know your frost zone? A handy infographic for all gardeners.
Once autumn weather drifts into your area, unexpected early frost can ruin tender crops, like tomatoes, while other plants survive—and even thrive—when the temperature drops below freezing. By selecting cold-hardy, frost-resistant plants, knowing your climate zone, and taking the right precautions, you can extend the growing season well into winter—even in not-so-temperate climates. Get ready! The infographic below will help you start your cold-season garden and keep it in production until snow hits.

The Danger To America
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.
