National Punctuation Day

Yes it is!

This is one of my favs:

Ellipsis...

BIG News Day

Huge.

1.
Obama seems to be pulling away in the polls. Fox News has him leading McCain 45 - 39. The WashingtonPost/ABC News poll has O up by 9, and at 538.c0m the electoral vote spread is Obama 309: McCain 229.

I know, I knw - don't trust the polls. But - yay!

2.
McCain is now suggesting that the debate on Friday be postponed.

3.
This is the actualy headline from Rueters this morning:
"Clay Aiken Acknowledges He's Gay"

Really? I had no idea.
