The rules of being Ken Salazar’s cowboy hat
Those wacky Beltway types. Even as Sen. Ken Salazar was being introduced as the new secretary of the interior, the pundits were wondering whether his cowboy hat would be too “provocative” for the office. And this amusing, if utterly inaccurate claim from MSNBC anchor David Shuster: "I hear from one of our correspondents that you're not supposed to wear a cowboy hat like that indoors unless you're at a square dance or an indoor livestock auction.”
KBDI refuses to delay airing of Guantanamo torture documentary
Even as Barack Obama has vowed one of the first acts of his presidency will be to shut down Guantanamo, and even as the topic has been raging in Congress, many Americans will have to wait until the day after George W. Bush leaves office to watch a documentary detailing the horrific policies of his regime.
‘George W. Bush’ talks turkey with PETA
If it walks like a turkey and talks like a turkey, it must be almost Thanksgiving. Which means one thing among many: expect the activists from the pretty radical People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to show up with some horror stories about the widespread cruelty to turkeys in factory farms and slaughterhouses.

The Obama campaign released an ad Sunday morning mocking the endorsement, comparing the vice president's backing of McCain to Warren Buffett and Colin Powell's support for Obama.
NARAL pounds McCain-Palin: ‘more anti-choice’ than Bush-Cheney
Just days after hitting Colorado mailboxes with its first mailer criticizing John McCain's positions on reproductive issues, NARAL Pro-Choice America sent a second flyer on Friday to Republican and unaffiliated women in Colorado. The flyer warned that the McCain-Palin ticket is "downright dangerous" for women.
