Holy crap, the election is tomorrow. The candidates are running hard toward the finish line.
Wear a condom while watching TV, kids: "Teenagers who watch a lot of television featuring flirting, necking, discussion of sex and sex scenes are much more likely than their peers to get pregnant or get a partner pregnant, according to the first study to directly link steamy programming to teen pregnancy."
Speaking of sex, Babeland plans to give out free sex toys to people who've voted. There's a shop in Seattle!
Despite pledging to do so over a week ago, Sarah Palin has yet to release her medical records. What's she hiding?
Have illegal immigrants in Oregon stopped driving, now that they can't get a driver's license--or are they just driving unlicensed?
And Palin had some words of advice for her doppleganger Tina Fey: "We wanted to make sure she's holding on to that Sarah outfit, because she's going to need it for the next four years."
I guess that means this jacket... and t-shirt.
