By Darrell Owens — I was split on whether gun deaths or traffic deaths are the biggest death cults in the United States, but I’ve decided it goes to cars. However neutered gun control is, it’s not a popular mandate in polling but rather a quirk in effective lobbying. Car deaths and automobile manufacturer deregulation are a completely different level of insanity. Unfortunately, car centrism is the popular mandate in that most Americans really don’t care about people being killed by cars, even if the victims are their own family members, and are seemingly resistant to taking the necessary systemic steps to save lives.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The wealth enjoyed by the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos may be unfathomable to most of us mere mortals, but to the richest man in history, it was mere pocket change.Indeed, Mansa Musa, who ruled the African kingdom of Mali between 1312 and 1337, was so rich, economic historians say it is impossible to quantify his net worth.

Snoopy is undeniably an American pop icon. But does the image of Charlie Brown’s beloved daydreaming dog belong emblazoned on gold?. If your answer is an emphatic yes, head over to Walmart.com, where you’ll find a Snoopy flying ace gold round for sale. This is no mass-produced toy, and it doesn’t sell for (ahem) peanuts. The listing says only 50 of these limited-editions rounds are available, each contains 1 ounce of .9999 fine gold, and they’re priced in the neighborhood of (good grief) $2,600 apiece.
