I love this series of illustrations by Justin Turrentine that depicts scenes of victory featuring infamous Disney villains.

Today is Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’ birthdays. Celebrate your love for adventure-seeking hobbits with a drink and a smoke, and don’t get too full on second breakfast!

One of my favorite passages from Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics:

A tourist in New York’s Greenwich Village decided to have his portrait sketched by a sidewalk artist. He received a very fine sketch, for which he was charged $100.

“That’s expensive,” he said to the artist, “but I’ll pay it, because it is a great sketch. But, really, it took you only five minutes.”

“Twenty years and five minutes,” the artist replied.
