Cheney calls Palin to See if She Wants to go Hunting Sometime

Knowing how much Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin admires him, he invited her to go rabbit hunting with him some time.

She apparently agreed but insisted on bringing her automatic rifle and hunting for liberals instead of rabbits. Cheney

reportedly said, "Libwalls or wabbits ...it's all the same to me!"

A Bad slip while hunting for boogers leaves man with one eye!

Seen recently at a hospital waiting room, Ubber Von Poke, 42 yrs-old, dug a bit too deep in search of a booger than was bugging him. When emergency surgery was finished, the doctors extracted the finger successfully and put a big marble (cats eye) in place of the punctured orb. His family is hoping he learned his lesson but are cautiously optimistic. Said Mom in a recent interview, "He's always been a curious boy!"

ALERT UPDATE...SHE LIED!

Scroll down a bit and take a look at someone who really needs help!

Ashley Todd just admitted this afternoon (after enjoying her 15 minutes of fame) that she lied about being attacked (I'm just shocked). McCain campaign members said they hope she gets help. It must have been hard for them as Joe The Plumber is losing his popularity and Todd could have been a last minute savior for the party!

PUMPKIN ON STERIODS MAY BE BIGGEST IN LAND

This massive gourd is challenging last year's giant pumpkin, that weighed in at 1,400 pounds, for the biggest pumpkin in the land. It was grown at Fir Point Farms, Aurora, Oregon. I wonder how many pies could be made from this mutated vegetable?

Woman was (supposedly) attacked for being a McCain supporter!

Ashley Todd was recently beaten and mugged at an ATM -

It's too bad this young woman was hurt, but I think the media is going overboard covering this story (It's a real Google hitter this morning) when there appears to be some doubt about the authenticity of her claims. She claims a black man (who else?) became violent while in the process of robbing her at an ATM machine when he saw the McCain sticker on her car.

Let's see now, do you think the guy might have been dyslexic because he carved a backward B on her cheek? More importantly, where's the proof this incident really happened? I don't want to appear to be cruel, but I can't help pointing out the obvious oddity that throws this whole story into doubt; was her attacker dyslexic or did she carve the B herself while looking in a mirror?

I suspect that the reality is that this woman is a bit misguided and perhaps looking for some publicity that she actually thinks will help the McCain campaign. After a five hour interview with police, and taking a polygraph test, there remains doubt that she told the truth about what really happened. The police are still wondering why the backwards B on her cheek.

Nice try Todd, you had your 15 minutes of fame. I hope you enjoyed it!
