Palin Will Lead Party

Here's the best news I've heard in a long time.

If McCain does lose the election, it seems that Sarah Palin has volunteered to take the reins and lead the Republican Party.  If the Party's gonn'a be whipped into shape, can't think of a better person to wield the whip.  It's almost worth rooting for McCain to lose.......

Oh My God THis Is Horrible!

The Daily News' original coverage of 'War of the Worlds'

You need a quick break from the mind-numbing grind of Presidential election politics.

How appropriate that we can also celebrate the 70th anniversary of the "War of The Worlds"

FAKE WAR ON RADIO SPREADS PANIC OVER U.S.

By GEORGE DIXON

This article originally ran in the October 31, 1938 edition of the New York Daily News.

A radio dramatization of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" - which thousands of people misunderstood as a news broadcast of a current catastrophe in New Jersey - created almost unbelievable scenes of terror in New York, New Jersey, the South and as far west as San Francisco between 8 and 9 o'clock last night.

The panic started when an announcer suddenly interrupted the program of a dance orchestra - which was part of the dramatization - to "flash" an imaginary bulletin ........Here's the rest of the story , and here's the actual broadcast .....  Fantastic!
