MEMernet: That Lee Website, Lego Elvis, and a Great Ape Birthday

An unused URL, the ’68 Comback Special in bricks, and Rowan, the zoo’s orangutan.

That Lee Website

It’s unclear whether or not Governor Bill Lee ever used the governorbilllee.com URL. But someone found it unused, bought it, and built a scathing site on it that surfaced last week.

The top banner icon reads, “Governor Bill Lee: Equality for a Few.” The site’s topics range from Lee’s stances on education, anti-LGBTQ bills, Lt. Governor Randy McNally, and more. Owners promise a live drag queen reading on the site on May 7th.

Never-ending Elvis

The Elvis ’68 Comeback Special recently got the Lego treatment by artist Paul Hetherington. It will debut this weekend at the BrickUniverse Lego Fan Convention at Agricenter International.

Happy Birthday!
