Full prayers and love given to Senator Kennedy as he battles with his ailments(Photo from CNN).

Ted Kennedy has just been hospitalized. Blessings most definitely to him and his family of course. TWD's definitely gives its wholehearted prayers as well.

From TP's Ali Frick, the KKK will be in full force tonight.

The Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to appear at the University of Mississippi for tonight’s debate, the university’s student newspaper reports

No comment on whether if Obama saves their lives if a bullet came there way that they still won't hate him.

Did she have a horrible day, or did she have a HORRIBLE, AWFUL, FORGETTABLE day? Here's another embarrassing comment from Sarah Palin in her disaster of an interview tih Katie Couric. And it was suppose to be a "softball" interview.

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? … Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions.

I wish I didn't have video proof of this, but I do:


What a trainwreck she is literally. Here, see for yourself:

Outside of the U.S. Political Square
1. We have been bad mouthing Russia all this time, but look at this. Sometimes, the hypocrisy amazes.

2. Somalia's pirates seize 33 tanks. (Captian Jack Black has nothing on them.)

3. And yet, look at how Pakistan's new president is talking hard to the States (though maybe justified in doing so). And remember, they are suppose to be our "friends." I guess Pervez Musharraf didn't bestow that to Bush love to new Head of State Asif Ali Zardar.

The straight up random stories out of nowhere
4. Well known New York City TV anchor and is getting embarrassed by the sad problems of her husband being made public.

A movie review
5. Before we do a late thread on this week's movies out today (hopefully we'll get to that), the Daily News didn't give Spike Lee's movie great reviews sadly.

Music
6. This is another reason why I got so much love for Big Boi
And give love to the video below released in the middle of the summer. At least he is trying to stay FULLY informed and not jump the bandwagon like other rappers (looking at 'Hova in particular).


Finally Sports
7. Steven Jackson is Pissed that Mark Bulger is benched. Well, Steven, even if he wasn't benched, it still won't matter. The Rams have been by far the softest team in the league thus far.

Sha-la, as you get ready for the debate.
