There is an interesting article on Washington Post's "The Trail" about a McCain-Palin rally in Virginia:
"The crowd was so large, in fact, that some supporters standing far back from the stage began chanting 'Louder, louder!' midway through Palin's speech after she had paid homage to military veterans in the crowd. Palin, who assumed they were protesters, said in response to the chants, 'I hope those protesters have the courage and honor to give veterans thanks for their right to protest.'"
Remember the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, pastor emeritus of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ? Wright served two tours of duty as a Marine and sailor in the early 1960s. What became of his right to protest?
Palin's comment reminds me of Dr. Johnson's observation: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
We love women, but sometimes we are baffled. Thank goodness for intern Tiffany Frasier, who here answers the first of many questions that will demystify womankind. First up: why do most women (Tiffany included) carry a handbag the size of a gym duffel? 
I’m one of those Obama supporters who doubts that, when November 4th rolls around, I’ll actually be celebrating an Obama victory. It depresses me to think about it that way, which is why I’m taking pleasure in the here and now. Once again, Obama is up in the polls – quite handsomely in some – so I bask in this victory (probably the only one I’ll have) by listening to conservative talk radio and reading right-wing blogs. Nothing brings me more pleasure than listening to 
“One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.” Or, as was the case this past Friday at Universal Studios in Hollywood, three Freddy Girls (pictured) greeted guests for the Sixth Annual Eyegore Horror Awards. Corey Feldman served as master of ceremonies for the sinister soiree that honored such fan favorites as Tobe Hooper (director of Poltergeist and the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), original Leatherface Gunnar Hansen, director Roger Corman, sexy Dexter and Saw V actress Julie Benz, and many others.

America’s Most Wanted, meet Project Getaway. The FBI is searching for a gunman they’ve dubbed The Playboy Bandit. The flashy felon wore a hat emblazoned with Playboy’s signature Rabbit Head logo when he held up an Alsip, Illinois bank on September 11. We might not know his identity, but we do know our beefy bank robber is not wearing authentic Playboy apparel. Here he wears a blue knock-off of Playboy’s classic black fitted baseball cap. The real thing is a 98% cotton/2% Spandex flex-fit cap with a tone-on-tone white Rabbit Head on the front. One size stretches to fit most. 
Josh Morrison of Phoenix found a second cactus resembling the Rabbit Head. See the first 
A friend of mine recently sent news of a Florida man whose dog Jake was attacked by a shark. According to the clip, the 14-pound rat terrier swam along the picturesque cove as he often did, bobbing along pleasantly, when suddenly he was yanked down and out of sight. Greg LeNoir, the dog's owner, did not stand by and watch. He swam out to the shark, a five-footer, and struck it with both fists as hard as he could. He said it was like ramming cement. The shark released the dog and took off. Apart from a few puncture marks, the dog was in one piece.
