North Dakota probably regrets hiring a sex-starved 15-year-old boy as the artistic director for their new tourism campaign. They've pulled this ad because it looks like the first paragraph of a rejected Midwestern-themed Penthouse letter. (Click to enlarge)

It's time Las Vegas lost its title as "stripper capital of the universe" to Williston, North Dakota. The little oil boomtown in the Great Plains might only have two strip clubs—Whispers and Heartbreakers—but the exotic dancers there make more money than some doctors.

Even though North Dakota's prone to disastrous floods and blizzards and maybe not even a real state, and even though a college degree is possibly worthless in today's jobless job market, lots of Ameri-teens are going to college in North Dakota anyhow. It's so cheap!

So, this is awkward, but, as it turns out, North Dakota may not actually even be a state at all, thanks to a constitutional conflict only recently discovered by an 82-year-old resident of Grand Forks. How embarrassing!

While we're handing out Oscars for blizzard movies, why not give one to local news photographer Dave Grant for his intense shaky-cam video of this storm-caused 100-car accident on I-94 in North Dakota? It's better than The Road!

Nearly one in four people—23.7 percent—in Wisconsin admitted to driving while drinking alcohol, more than any other state in the union in the last year. Utah, unsurprisingly, came in last at 7.4 percent. Go celebrate, Utah! Soberly.

Here's something rare: a Democrat embracing George W. Bush, warrior-king. In this ad, Rep. Earl Pomeroy touts his support for Bush's 2003 Medicare prescription drug act. Since old people can't even remember Bush but do enjoy free drugs, this works.

People are still pushing the "Ed Schultz for Senate" idea? Really?
