It's been a long week, Twitchy readers. In the words of Tony Stark, 'Like, Eugene O'Neill long.'

We've seen an open supporter of Islamic terrorism win a Democratic primary election in Michigan, an equally crazy Democrat candidate for governor in Wisconsin declaring that she hates Thanksgiving and pretty much all American holidays, and what can we say about the burrito wars? We lost many good men and women to the latest conservative slap fight, which, according to Thomas Massie, is somehow the fault of 'Da Jooooooos.'
 
As we often say, we wish we were making this all up.

If you're like us, you could use some lighter fare for the weekend.

Lighter fare such as, you know, scientists dooming mankind to frozen extinction to solve a problem that is billions of years away.

I think he should get 10,000 cows together, get them all to fart at the same time, then light the gas and blast off.

See the original Twilight Zone episode titled "The Midnight Sun".
It was one of the series' best.
