A Narrow Escape

Regardless of your political leanings, this is pretty scary stuff indeed...

According to the Washington, DC ABC affiliate, the ATF says that it has broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama. This same plot also involved shooting or decapitating 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree.

In court records unsealed on Monday, agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target an unnamed (but predominantly African-American) high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads.

According to electoral-vote.com, John McCain holds a 14 percentage point lead over Barack Obama in Tennessee.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have confirmed their impending divorce.

The singer's longtime spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said the couple had agreed to separate.

In a short statement – co-signed by Guy’s representative – she added the couple had not agreed a settlement.

It read: "Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven-and-a-half years of marriage. They ask that the media respect their privacy" -- OH YEAH RIGHT! -- "during this difficult time."

Now that Madonna's getting a divorce, can she PLEASE also divorce that ridiculous English accent? Earth to Madonna: You are from MICHIGAN (and, if you really push it, the Lower East Side of New York City), and you fool no one with that Dick Van Dyke-style Cockney accent. Right right? Cheerio!
