Praise to Richard Spencer of the Telegraph for reviewing China's first all-animal-wang restaurant.
For beginners, Miss Zhu recommended the hotpot, which offers a sampling of what the restaurant has to offer - six types of penis, and four of testicle, boiled in chicken stock by the waitress, Liu Yunyang, 22. The Russian dog was first. It was julienned, and rather gamey.
A note to China's half-billion men: no matter how tightly you shut your eyes and wish and wish and want to believe, eating schlong will not help you get boners.

Praise to the reality-based community. Whether it's foreign policy or the housing market, reality wins eventually.
Fantasy, in the current issue of Fortune:
Let's start in Orange County, which has caught a case of real estate fever as acute as that of any region in the nation. Yale's Shiller surveyed Orange County residents last year on what they expected home prices to do over the next ten years. The average expectation was a 23 percent return -- per year! That kind of unbridled optimism has caused buyers to stretch beyond their limits.
Reality, in this morning's Orange County Register:
Orange County home prices took a tumble in January, with the median price falling below $600,000 for the first time in eight months. DataQuick reported today that the median sale price for all residences sold in January was $582,000 – down more than 6 percent from December's record $621,000...
Welcome to the O.C., bitch.

Praise to the worst mascot in the NCAA, the Stanford Tree, for having the good sense to perform drunk. During last week's men's basketball game against Cal, the Tree came out and danced a jig, until Oski pretended to chop it with a pantomime axe until it fell. We assumed a Cal fan had hijacked the Tree costume, but the felling of the tree was more about the undergrad's 0.15% blood alcohol level than any sabotage.
"She was taking drinks inside the tree,'' said Kevin Klintworth, assistant athletic director at Cal. "The officers could see the flask through the costume.''
Erin Lashnits, 23, a fifth-year undergraduate biology student, was given a breath test shortly after halftime of the Feb. 9 game at Haas Pavilion. Authorities said the test showed she had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 percent, nearly twice the legal limit for driving...
Lashnits acknowledged that she was intoxicated but denied that she had a flask or that she had been drinking during the game.
Liar. She should have just refused to comment on an ongoing investigation.

Praise to Gerardo Sandoval for simultaneously revealing all that's evil and disgusting about Fox News and the SF Supervisors' love for opining on shit that's way, way over their heads. From SFist:
Sandoval immediately had trouble from the get-go, as Hannity kept him off balance by constantly asking Sandoval whether or not he was a supporter of Nazi Germany and WWII-era Imperial Japan. Sandoval had trouble answering back not only because of the preposterousness of the question, but because Hannity kept on interrupting him. But then Colmes- Colmes!- jumped in and asked Sandoval whether he thought we should have a military at all and when Sandoval said "no" it was on. How bad did it go? Over the sound of tens of Fox producers and executives achieving simultaneous orgasm, Alan Colmes, the man who was kicked out of the patsy union for being too much of a patsy, tore into Sandoval. You know in the movies when the picked on wimpy who's been holding all their anger in then finally unleashes it? Like Ralphie in the Christmas Story? That was Colmes wailing on Sandoval. It was so bad Sean Hannity had to come in to calm Colmes down. And all Sandoval could do was sit there and be the deer in the headlights as he tried to comprehend why nobody thought it was a brilliant idea like they do when he hangs with all of his Supe buddies.
People often wonder how Ali G keeps punking famous people with their consent, but Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes have been doing it in plain sight for eight years. Plus, now Hannity gets to ask all future Democrats if they agree with the "anti-military majority of the Democratic party." I wonder if he'll mention Sandoval's 17% approval rating.
