I love that somebody has a sense of humor at the FOX network.  In a bow to the Bush administration, Friday’s first presidential debate on FOX will be preceded by “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?.” Priceless.

Say what you will about Sarah Palin, but no one can deny her maverick status, giving her kids names like Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow and Piper.  Or was it Stack, Swig, Tick, Pillow and Gumper?

Check out this fun little name generator to find out what your name would be had you popped out of Sarah Plain Palin’s va-jay-jay:

Regardless of political affiliation or affinity, plenty of people are interested in making political statements - especially in the middle of a Presidential campaign (go figure!).

As for me, I’m more interested in hilarity, and the following video from The Daily Show is damn funny. If you don’t have an uninterrupted 3:28 minute block, go straight to the 2:17 mark, where the comedy kicks into high gear. Otherworldly irony available at 3:17 minutes:

“Freedom of choice? That’s different than being pro-choice.”

This was last night at the Republican National Convention, during Sarah Palin’s speech.  I’m having a hard time not watching this clip over and over.  As it happened live, I collapsed into the fetal position and then changed my registration to Republican.  God Bless America!

There aren’t many words for this one: at the Iowa State Fair this month, renowned butter artist Sarah Pratt unveiled a life-size sculpture of 16 year old Olympic gold medalist, Shawn Johnson, seen below. This, along with a Harry Potter scene and the annual display of the “Butter Cow,” round out the butter art. Interesting to note, the butter sculptures were kept at a brisk 40 degrees to prevent any melting. Rumor has it, upon completion of the fair, state officials unveiled the world’s largest baked potato.

If a portmanteau is a combination of two words, then chess-boxing is a sportmanteau.

You heard me right: this sport is a combination of chess and boxing. Started by the Hip-Hop Chess Federation (RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan is apparently a huge chess buff), competitors alternate in the ring between three-minute boxing rounds and four-minute rounds of speed chess. Between rounds, competitors only get a one-minute break to take off and put on gloves, and to ponder strategies with coaches. Ultimately, a winner is determined by knockout, checkmate, or referee decision. It’s hard to believe, but elite chessboxers claim the hardest part of the sport is not taking a beating in the boxing component, but rather, coming down from the adrenaline of boxing to be able to thoughtfully play chess. Check out the Time Magazine article on the sport.

TPMtv has put together a great compilation of John McCain’s gaffes, awkward pauses, crappy catch phrases and foreign policy misunderstandings, highlighting what Fox News Managing Editor Brit Hume calls Mccain’s “senior moments.” Is this man fit to lead?

(Take particularly note of McCain’s reference to Vladimir Putin, President of Germany — First off, it’s Russia, not Germany, and he’s no longer the president- he’s now the Prime Minister! And also, Czechoslovakia hasn’t been a country for more than 15 years!)
