John McCain (with Mark Salter) has four published books. Obama has two. (Obama's "Dreams from My Father" was written in 1995, quite a while before Obama was recognized outside of his Chicago neighborhood.)

Obama is the real deal. McCain is ghostwritten. I am very happy we have a choice.

Great. So you can snap a photo of the nervous cop that shot you.

"I can eat this cookie without touching it."

I'm actually looking forward to this. I especially will enjoy the 21st century trollies.

"I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this."

A cognac or absinthe alembic. Used for double or triple distilling of the liquors. Some pieces are missing.

Perhaps the opposite of this is Central Pain Syndrome, which occurs after a brain injury, tumor or a stroke affects the thalamus or brainstem. Sufferers feel incredible pain, described as an aching burning cold, a "pins and needles" or a crushing sensation, on the side of their body affected by the brain injury. Opiates and analgesics can do nothing to alleviate it.

Presently incurable, suicide is a common cause of death among its sufferers.

Has no one here seen "Carnal Knowledge"? Jonathan has a slide show near the close of the movie where he shows his guests photos of all the women he's had sex with.

So remember - even when it is a Vuitton, that leather purse is just a bag made of skin. Skin that an animal was killed for.

Do bored asiatic bears do that in the wild? Do they have "toys", such as this bear's "favorite stick"?

"Legs all twisty!"

It's always a great day when you learn something new!

Knowing the way legislation has been written this decade, they can probably be arrested as terrorists.

I loved this story because I've had root beer kegs at my parties. You can order them at a Stewart's Root Beer Stand. It's such a wonderful summer drink, and the keg makes it memorable.

I'd love to see a show like that is the US. We would start with "Saddam had weapons of mass destruction" and "Iran is helping Al Qaeda." We could move on to "Most Black people get welfare" and "Most welfare goes to Black people." Then something like "Tax cuts for the wealthy bring prosperity to all" and "Universal healthcare is a socialist failure."

Have Steven Colbert host it. He knows that facts have a well-known Liberal bias.
