ALL THE NEWS UNFIT TO PRINT

It's Sunday again.. arguably the most depressing day of the week, for some odd reason. This week, though, a new face lit of screens across America: Sarah Palin's ratings were high .. the GOP convention actually beat the Dems for the final night by a few hundred thousand.

I don't know if America would wear a Hillary thong.. but we're wearing Sarah-wear. I don't know if it means we like her. Perhaps it means she's a passing fad of 2008..? The AP reported yesterday that McCain's rallies are getting better crowds lately--most likely not for McCain but instead to see this vice presidential candidate that seems to have electrified the nation, or at least half of it. In the end, maybe Obama should have re-thought that non-vetting of Hillary..? Either way: A collection of news events from around the world, more on Hurricane Ike coming later: A top United Nations expert today calling for the world to reduce their consumption of meat. Masticate--more veggies. Go green? Cut the steak? .. Not sure how well this theory will go over in Palin-country? Man in wheelchair robs Texas 7-Eleven.. takes an energy drink and a "lot of condoms".. Tommy Lee Jones pursues lawsuit against Paramount Pictures over NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.. Jones claiming that he was promised box office bonus money.. His suit is for $10 mil..

Experts say: Warmth is opening once frozen over Arctic routes..
