McCain Responds to Obama's 'Computer Illiteracy' Ad

Tuesday

Erin Hart

Join Erin on Tuesday, Sept. 16th, from 6am 'til 10am MDT (5am - 9am PDT | 7am - 11am CDT | 8am - noon EDT) when she fills in for Jay Marvin on AM 760, Colorado's Progressive Talk.

We have so much to talk about: Sarah Palin's interview with Charlie Gibson (can you say Miss South Carolina?).

Shudder. And it was EDITED, too!

Barack Obama and Joe Biden MUST get back in the game--telling the country why they are the best choice!

John is now appearing with Cindy everywhere if Sarah is too busy tanking in her first national interview. Wonder if he thinks bringing a woman brings the female vote?

Nah, they are relying on reported Rovian tactics of vote cadging and fake absentee ballots for that.

Join us in another countdown to the VOTE! See you Tuesday, just seven weeks till Election Day.

Not A Palin Fan

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson has become the latest celebrity to criticise U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Actor Matt Damon voiced his views on Senator John McCain's choice of running mate earlier this week - insisting the Alaska governor was chosen for "political purposes".

And now the former Baywatch star - who has publicly endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama - has joined in the attack on Palin.

Anderson tells E! News Canada, "I can't stand her. She can suck it!"

Night Landing Hailed As Historic

Antarctica

A pilot has successfully landed an aircraft in Antarctica using night-vision goggles, a feat hailed Saturday as historic and could lead to year-round flights to the frozen continent.

The pilot of the US Air Force Globemaster flew from Christchurch in New Zealand to the US Antarctica base at McMurdo Sound overnight Thursday in the first such mission described as risky.

The pioneering flight opens up the possibility of safe landings during the long, dark, polar winter when the sun disappears for months.

Scientists could be dropped off or picked up at any time of the year if such flights went ahead and medical evacuations could become feasible in winter.

Three-Hour Tours

S.S. Minnow

Gilligan's Island fans looking for a piece of television nostalgia should look to get stranded on Vancouver Island, where they'll soon be able to take a three-hour tour on one of the boats featured in the iconic series.

Ken Schley and partner John Briuolo bought one of four boats used in the show two years ago for $100,000.

Schley said the boat is the one seen leaving the harbour in the show's opening sequence just before, according to the theme song, "the weather started getting rough."

It even has an old life preserver with S.S. Minnow emblazoned across it, as featured in the closing credits.

Tops List Of Most Generous Stars

Oprah Winfrey

She's been named as the highest-paid TV celebrity and one of the world's most powerful women, but American talk-show host Oprah Winfrey is also a big giver, topping a list of the 30 most generous celebrities for the second year running.

The second annual list, compiled by The Giving Back Fund, a group that seeks to encourage philanthropy, put Oprah in the top slot with The Oprah Winfrey Foundation and Oprah's Angel Network spending $50.2 million in 2007 on education, health care, and advocacy for women and children worldwide.

Second place on the list, published in the latest edition of Parade magazine, went to trumpeter and A&M records co-founder Herb Alpert with The Herb Alpert Foundation spending $13 million on education, including the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

Singer-actress Barbra Streisand came third in the list that was based on public records of donations made in 2007, with $11 million donated by The Streisand Foundation to the environment, women's issues, civil rights, AIDS research, and advocacy.

Fourth place went to Paul Newman who gave $10 million to the Scholarship for Kenyon College, his alma mater in Gambier, Ohio, while Mel Gibson was in the fifth slot, giving $9.9 million to the Holy Family Church in Malibu, California.

TV Chef Knife Injury

Antonio Carluccio

A popular TV chef in Britain has received hospital treatment for a "private health matter," his spokeswoman said Saturday, after earlier media reports that he had injured himself with a knife.

Antonio Carluccio's spokeswoman refused to comment on the nature of the injury. But newspaper reports this week said the chef, who owns a string of restaurants in Britain, suffered a kitchen knife stab wound to the chest at home and doctors initially feared he had punctured a lung.

The reports said he was admitted to hospital in London earlier this week where he was treated for the knife wound but was later released.

Carluccio, 71, moved to London in 1975 and built an Italian restaurant empire and launched his own food label in 1991.

Bigots Promote Racist Humor

'Obama Waffles'

Activists at a conservative political forum Saturday were snapping up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.

The product, Obama Waffles, was meant as political satire, said Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, two writers from Franklin, Tenn., who created the mix. They sold it for $10 a box from a rented booth at the Values Voter Summit sponsored by the lobbying arm of the Family Research Council.

While Obama Waffles takes aim at Obama's politics by poking fun at his public remarks and positions on issues, it also plays off the image of the classic pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.

On the back of the box, Obama is depicted in stereotypical Mexican dress, including a sombrero, above a recipe for "Open Border Fiesta Waffles" that says it can serve "4 or more illegal aliens." The recipe includes a tip: "While waiting for these zesty treats to invade your home, why not learn a foreign language?"

Supports Senate Bill

Oprah

A few weeks after cheering presidential candidate Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Oprah Winfrey will take up a different kind of political activism.

Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will be dedicated to a Senate bill targeting child predators, according to a release issued Friday by Chicago-based Harpo Productions.

During the show, which will detail the "extent and pervasiveness of child pornography trafficking in America," Winfrey will ask viewers to contact their senators about U.S. Senate Bill 1738, the Protect Our Children Act, Harpo said.

No Contest To DUI Charges

Daniel Dae Kim

"Lost" star Daniel Dae Kim pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges and was ordered to pay a $500 fine. Whether his character on the popular castaway drama absorbs more punishment remains to be seen.

Kim, 40, who plays Jin-Soo Kwon, was arrested Oct. 25 when a police officer spotted him driving erratically in Honolulu. His blood alcohol content was 0.168, more than double the state's legal limit.

Kim also had his driver's license revoked for six months and was subjected to a drug-and-alcohol assessment. He was also ordered to pay $212 in court fees and perform 72 hours of community service

Wax Hitler Returns

Madame Tussaud

Madame Tussaud's said Saturday it had returned a wax figure of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler to its newly opened Berlin branch weeks after the statue was beheaded by a 41-year-old German.

Hitler's figure can be viewed sitting at a desk in a replica of his bunker, Madame Tussaud's, the British waxworks maker, said. Hitler committed suicide in the bunker in 1945 as the Red Army converged on Berlin.

The Berlin branch said it does not allow visitors to enter the replica of the bunker, so that the figure is protected.

Madame Tussaud's has defended its display of the Hitler figure in Berlin as "a legitimate part of our show" because he "stands for an important part of German history."

Berlin Sweet Shop

Magic Chocolate

Police closed down a Berlin sweet shop after discovering the owner was selling chocolates and lollipops laced with hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana.

The 23-year old owner of the shop in the trendy east Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg, an area known for its vibrant night life, was taken into custody on suspicion of drug-dealing.

"In the shop we found 120 pieces of magic mushroom chocolate and countless cannabis lollipops," said police, who confiscated around 70 sachets containing various drugs, about 20 marijuana joints, a range of pills and some jars of drug-laced honey.

Police said one customer, who appeared intoxicated, was arrested after trying to buy a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms from an officer in the shop.

In Memory

David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace, the author best known for his 1996 novel "Infinite Jest," was found dead in his home, according to police. He was 46.

Wallace's wife found her husband had hanged himself when she returned home about 9:30 p.m. Friday, said Jackie Morales, a records clerk with the Claremont Police Department.

Wallace taught creative writing and English at nearby Pomona College.

Wallace's first novel, "The Broom of the System," gained national attention in 1987 for its ambition and offbeat humor. The New York Times said the 24-year-old author "attempts to give us a portrait, through a combination of Joycean word games, literary parody and zany picaresque adventure, of a contemporary America run amok."

Published in 1996, "Infinite Jest" cemented Wallace's reputation as a major American literary figure. The 1,000-plus-page tome, praised for its complexity and dark wit, topped many best-of lists. Time Magazine named "Infinite Jest" in its issue of the "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005."

Wallace received a "genius grant" from the MacArthur Foundation in 1997.

In 2002, Wallace was hired to teach at Pomona in a tenured English Department position endowed by Roy E. Disney. Kates said when the school began searching for the ideal candidate, Wallace was the first person considered.

Wallace's short fiction was published in Esquire, GQ, Harper's, The New Yorker and the Paris Review. Collections of his short stories were published as "Girl With Curious Hair" and "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men."

He wrote nonfiction for several publications, including an essay on the U.S. Open for Tennis magazine and a profile of the director David Lynch for Premiere.

Born in Ithaca, N.Y., Wallace attended Amherst College and the University of Arizona.
