Excommunication didn't used to be in a Senator's purview.

Etsy seller Sweethoots makes adorable little hats for pugs and sells them in her Etsy store. Her pug Pickles is her model. (h/t to Craftzine and All Creatures for discovering Pickles)

And you thought "Twister" was bad! Last week, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite captured these stunning images of magnetically captured plasma moving like a tornado across the sun's surface. But even more stunning than this video of the solar tornado are its statistics: it's estimated to be about as large as Earth itself, with wind gusts approaching 300,000 mph and a temperature of 15,000 degrees fahrenheit. Uh... wow.

Oh, the indignity of it all. But they look so silly!
