Stroke Victim Loses Ability to Feel Sadness

Stroke Victim Loses Ability to Feel Sadness:  A 68-year-old British man who suffered a stroke in the emotion-controlling frontal lobe of his brain in 2004, discovered he that he had completely lost the ability to feel sadness or depression of any kind.  All I can say is, this guy must be an absolute riot at funerals.

North Carolina Passes No Sharia Law:  The Republican-controlled legislature in North Carolina has passed a law to prevent Islamic law, known as Sharia, from being imposed in its courts.  I don’t think North Carolina has all that much to worry about.  As may of you know, I’ve been trying to impose Sharia Law here in Malibu for years now and haven’t had any luck at all.
