Teresa Heinz Kerry continues to provide some of the best political comedy of the season, in an interview with an Arizona TV station.

12 News Reporter: Most of the polls are tracking that Sen John Kerry as doing a better job on the economy. My question is, why hasn’t that transferred overall in the poll numbers?

Teresa: It has, of course. Of course it has.

Reporter: He’s still down.

Teresa: He’s not. Did you see the polls today? You saw Zogby and ARG —

Reporter: Yes, but he’s still down in Arizona.

Teresa: Oh, who cares? You know, one state is not a whole state. In the whole United States, he is even, even, and in some of them one point ahead, and in some one point behind.

There’s really no need to have a Presidential election in the U.S. As it turns out, the election results can be predicted with perfect accuracy based on mask purchase data from Buy Costumes.

In 2000, due to the popularity of political masks, BuyCostumes.com began publishing statistics on each Presidential Candidate’s mask sales. It was soon apparent that the mask sales were as good a resource as the polls being published by major national media groups. Seeing the similarities, BuyCostumes.com then looked into some data on political mask sales in election years. Not only did they ask five different mask manufacturers, they also spoke with 12 national stores about their sales history all the way back to 1980. Their findings were astounding and right every time….

Sale Stats as of : 9/24/2004
George W. Bush 56%
John Kerry 44%

BATON ROUGE, La. — Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart apologized Wednesday for saying in a televised worship service that he would kill any gay man who looked at him romantically.

In the broadcast, Swaggart was discussing his opposition to gay marriage when he said “I’ve never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry.”

“And I’m going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I’m going to kill him and tell God he died,” Swaggart said to laughter and applause from the congregation.

On Wednesday, Swaggart said he has jokingly used the expression “killing someone and telling God he died” thousands of times, about all sorts of people. He said the expression is figurative and not meant to harm.

“It’s a humorous statement that doesn’t mean anything. You can’t lie to God — it’s ridiculous,” Swaggart told The Associated Press. “If it’s an insult, I certainly didn’t think it was, but if they are offended, then I certainly offer an apology.”

Swaggart was a popular television evangelist during the 1980s until a 1987 sex scandal involving a prostitute that he met in a seedy New Orleans motel. Swaggart never confessed to anything more than an unspecified sin. A few years later, he was stopped by police while driving in California with a suspected prostitute in his car.

The materials needed are a large preferably clear plastic bag (clear trash bags work well) that is tied off around one branch (more than one branch permits air leaks and hurts the efficiency considerably. Also needed is a string or something to tie around the opening of the bag and branch.

After enough water collects in the bottom of the tree still cut a small slit in the bag above the water line and squeeze the water out the slit into your mouth or container. Any leaves in the water will flavor and color the water. In the oaks and other high tannin plants this is bitter.

By far the best browser.

This is a typical stand set-up at a trade show. But there is a difference here, one of the mannequins is not what it seems to be. It is a guy made up to look like a mannequin.

How it Works
The Actor will take on the typical pose of a mannequin, and stand motionless for long periods. This usually takes place in public areas, typically exhibitions, shopping centres. Some performers can suppress blinking for periods in excess of ten minutes.

All day fee usually runs $360.
