links from popular weblogs that have entertained me this morning:

Porn for Pandas Necessary for Species' Survival
"I do not know which of them will be lucky enough to mate our princess. It's all up to Hua Mei to find her own 'Mr. Right'," Wei Rongping, assistant director of the research center, told Xinhua. [adult video news via BoingBoing]
Those of us who visited the (horrible) National Zoo in the days of Hsing Hsing only to read about panda artificial insemination techniques might have guessed that new panda aphrodesiac technology was in high demand.

Vote for America's funniest Senators
In which Senators respond to a fictional ten-year-old aspiring stand up comedian with their favorite jokes. This, from Rick Santorum, who probably hasn't seen Dan Savage's Santorum website: "Although a favorite joke doesn't immediately come to mind, I do enjoy laughing." [zug "senator prank" via Wonkette]

I like McCain's self-defeatist Arizona joke.

OMG, I should have read them all before I commented, including Mikulski's "GI Joe ending" comment, and Nelson's joke, which is funny in a "what's brown and sticky?" kind of way.

I know! Some of the letters were more entertaining than the jokes. I especially enjoyed Holling's creepy non-answer --> "I believe maintaining a good sense of humor is essential to a healthy, happy and successful life and, therefore, equally appreciate most jokes I've heard or told."

How is that even possible? This guy hasn't ever heard a bad joke? or a tasteless joke?
