That Train's Never Late...

Where to begin?

  1. The numerology-obsessed, Nazi-loving, would-be assassins?
  2. People screaming the "N-word" at Palin/McCain rallies?*
  3. Emmitt Till's memorial being (once again) vandalized?

As Oliver likes to remind people, this is (only) Day Eight. Obama's talking about bringing people together, and McCain suddenly thinks that the road to the White House is claiming to be superior on the economy (I thought his strength was fighting wars?). But that's just the surface talk; underneath there's a battle to convince White America to put aside/forget/dismiss their prejudices and give the black guy the benefit of the doubt. Or, as I would put it: STOP VOTING AGAINST YOUR BEST INTERESTS BECAUSE OF FEAR!!!

Anyway, don't expect the news to get any less racial as we near the Big Day.

*UPDATE: An astute Daily Kos diarist discovers that at the Palin rally, the person actually shouted "Redistributor!" which isn't racist, just inaccuate.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
