- The best thing John McCain has done in literally years was to call his primary opponent, J.D. Hayworth, "dumb." The Hayworth campaign responded forcefully today, with a sternly worded press release in which they misspelled the name "McCain."
- The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has banned Dan Aykroyd's bizarre crystal skull vodka. Not because it is stupid, but because it is scary. (Libertarians are outraged!)
- Jesse Helms' FBI files basically prove that he was a total scumbag who was on reliably on the wrong side of history.
- Sadly, secret family-hiding drunk ex-congressman Vito Fossella will not run for his old seat.
