Tonight is the night When dead leaves fly Like witches on switches Across the sky, When elf and sprite Flit through the night On a moony sheen. Tonight is the night When leaves make a sound Like a gnome in his home Under the ground, When spooks and trolls Creep out of holes Mossy and [...]

Is it asking too much for a clean debate tonight? We’re all tired of the BS Sarah Palin has been peddling since the weekend accusing Barak Obama of being a terrorist. Do you think we’re all that damn stupid? Obama was 8 years old when Bill Ayers was an angry young man back in the [...]
