		<description>I dunno, WBC, the Angelyne T is so bad it&#039;s possibly gone past the tipping point into &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt;.  Tough call.

Listener, I love the high-heel race.  Damn.  And me stuck in the wrong coast for it!</description>

		<description>Celeste, apologies for going off topic, but this story has &lt;i&gt;&#039;you&#039;&lt;/i&gt; written all over it.  What could be more &lt;i&gt;Celeste&lt;/i&gt; than a story that mixes running with high fashion.

		<description>News reports are clarifying that this incident isn&#039;t a &quot;hate crime&quot; since there is no crime committed, but it IS &quot;a hate incident,&quot; something on private property which offends others, and an incident report is being filed by local and federal officials -- that is, Sheriff&#039;s Dept. and federal prosecutor&#039;s office.  Apparently to track these people in case of future incidents.  (If the Palin effigy had been on someone else&#039;s property then it could have been deemed &quot;a hate crime&quot; because vandalism would have occurred.)

The bad taste of this dubious pair is evidenced by one of them wearing an Angelyne t-shirt in his tv interview, as though that will add to their credibility.  (To those not from LA, she&#039;s the ultimate self-promoting &quot;star&quot; famous for just self-promotion, pink clothes, pink car, stilettos and fake boobs... pink princess of the billboards for what must be decades now.)  Sort of confirms my sense that this pair just wants to be famous at any cost and is enjoying this.</description>

		<description>Polls: White support for Obama at historic level.
 
Two weeks of Gallup polls show 44 percent of non-Hispanic white voters support Obama-the highest number for a Dem since 1976.

		<description>Re the World Series, John McCain has declared himself against both the free market and the First Amendment, with his latest idiotic pronouncement. 

&quot;&#039;No one will delay the World Series with an infomercial when I&#039;m president&#039;,(McCain) said, in Hershey, Pa.

(Fox executives have said that they, and not the Obama campaign, had initially asked Major League Baseball to move the start of WednesdayÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s game to 8:35 p.m. from 8:20, to make way for his infomercial. But as it turns out, such a delay was not necessary anyway; none of the World Series games has started before 8:30, and two started after 8:35.)&quot;  NYT</description>

		<description>Woody, how about getting back to us after you&#039;ve had the surgery to remove your head from your boring ass. You&#039;ve shot your wad and everyone is sick of you.  Do you make a constant nuisance of yourself to family and friends ?   Have you been this obnoxious since high school ?  Because you seem like a too familiar adolescent character...</description>

		<description>Is the Times also sitting on the evidence that John McCain funded Khalidi ?

Apparently not. That&#039;s public record.

		<description>It&#039;s interesting that someone can be arrested for a &quot;hate crime&quot; for hanging a black person in effigy but not for hanging a woman in effigy.

Celeste, Republicans in California must be very different than Republicans in the deep South.  Just the same, the left is ruining the nation in most ways, including delaying the start of the World Series--truly an anti-American and selfish position.

As a throw in, and despite your siding with the LAT on this, here&#039;s what that liberal paper is doing.
  
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jeffreygoldberg.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/10/what_is_the_la_times_hiding.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;What is the L.A. Times Hiding?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;But there&#039;s a video out there of Obama saying kind things about Khalidi, and on the general principle that information in an open society shouldn&#039;t be kept secret and that the voters should make up their own minds about whether or not they trust certain candidates, this video should be set free. But a pro-censorship organization called the Los Angeles Times, which has the tape in its possession, is hiding it, for reasons it won&#039;t fully explain. And it&#039;s looking more and more ridiculous each passing day.

There is another reason why the tape should be posted: It might actually create interest in the L.A. Times. From what I understand, the mainstream media is in a bit of trouble these days. Perhaps -- this is just a thought here -- the L.A. Times could better its position in the world by drawing readers to its website.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ahhh, let subscriptions keep dropping and the paper keep firing people until there&#039;s nothing left of it.</description>
