A worker was killed in the crush Friday after a throng of shoppers eager for post-Thanksgiving bargains burst through the doors at a suburban Wal-Mart, authorities said.
[...]
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," co-worker Jimmy Overby, 43, told the Daily News. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too. ... I literally had to fight people off my back."
Coleman ... lost a humiliating gubernatorial race to wrestler Jesse Ventura 10 years ago, he now sits on the verge of becoming the first politician in American history to lose a major office to two different TV entertainers.
So, Marvin Lewis is talking at 2 and maybe he'll make more sense today than he did last night. It was like he was shell-shocked last night and making zero sense. Really, the only thing he can say about the field goal is 'yeah, I f'd up.'
On the bright side, the Reds are currently tied for the lead in the NL Central. Hopefully, they'll grow the pair that Lewis is currently without and sign Furcal, or some other playmaker.“This was neat. I was happy to get invited to participate in this. You need a little bit of levity in this job… It’s nice to get out and do something to promote a local business and to just participate in something that isn’t so heavy handed politics that invite criticism. Certainly we’ll even invite criticism for doing this too, but at least this was fun.”Levity? Wow, if this is her idea of levity, I'd hate to see her idea of a notion higher on the positive scale than "levity." At this rate, joy or excitement, for example, would include Francis McDormand playing a pregnant cop, don'tcha know?.

The emergence of this millennial generation as a force in American politics is going to be one of the biggest stories in the country over the next 20 years or so. We know from past history that when young people vote for one party a couple of times, they tend to vote for that party during their adult lifetimes in disproportionate numbers. We last saw this with Ronald Reagan, who attracted an unusual number of young people. But the rising generation of millennials is bigger than what has come before. They are even bigger than the baby-boom population, and they are much more progressive and diverse. Forty percent of millennials are minorities. They look past gender and race in ways that baby boomers do not. They embrace diversity, whereas older Americans tend to be wary or even scared of it. So this is an enormous potential asset for Democrats. We talked all along about whether Barack being black would drive away voters. Among the millennials, the fact that he was black attracted voters.

If you'd like to catch a glimpse of what JCVD is all about, watch the trailer. Nani has not yet watched and hopes he doesn't regret posting it:There ‘ s a monologue in the film about being a washed-up action star. Did you improvise that?
I like structure—like driving: go past the school on the street, stay on the right side, no hitting the car, go in right, you’ll see a big church, stop and take a left, and you’ll have it. By doing this I’m giving a structure of life, a path of light, and showing what happens between me and me, which is something very beautiful.Beautiful? Why?
I really opened myself up in “JCVD.” I peeled back the skin of the fruit, cut the pulp and then took that very hard seed. In this film I cut that hard seed, and inside that seed was a kind of liquid cream substance of the man I am, or the woman you are.OK —
It was like being naked—I would love to be naked in front of you.Well, I —
Not being naked being naked. I say such things in Hong Kong and they thought I was being a crazy Frenchman. Being naked of protection.So you ‘ ve no regrets at all?
Believe me—I’ve done very good stuff and very crazy stuff, and I don’t regret the crazy stuff. So are you in New York?Yes, I am.
And are you 27, or 32?I ‘ m 22.
Oh, f–––. That is very young. Will you come to the premiere?I don ‘ t know. When is it?
I don’t know. You will wear all black, a black dress and high heels?Uh —
You can come find me, I will be the one with the very broad shoulders, dark hair and a simple suit. We can have some champagne, you and me.
In a recent interview with Goal.com, Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney revealed a weird pre-game ritual:Rooney also went on to mention he has a bizarre pre-match ritual, and that prior to the Celtic game, he will go through the same motions:Rooney apparently has a post-goal ritual, too: measuring the cup-size of his teammates. In this case it appears Dimitar Berbatov is the lucky lad.
"I put my socks on in someone else’s seat. I never put them on in my own seat," he declared.

Freddy, do you wake up and see this sign every day?
fights for justice through balanced media coverage, is posting the coolest photo of Leon Washington, or of Leon Washington's hot girlfriend (update: the photo at right was actually a Google Image search result, so I went with it), that Nani can find, and the most humiliating one of Favre.
Brett Favre is a worthless football player (with regard to this particular play), and Leon 
Washington, clearly, is a stud. Way to go Leon. Until tonight, I barely knew who you were; now I'm your bloggest fan.
about the crappy coverage. Crissy Baby, where's your journalistic integrity? Did you leave on my dollar bill that you autographed way back when?
Kinda like Clinton with a few dozen IQ points shaved off the top.Only a few dozen???
In what was no surprise to the international blogosphere, President-Elect Barack Obama today appointed Nani J. Cootsack to head-up his committee on Blogging Relations. Cootsack, who many argue to be one of the premier bloggers of senseless information and trivial minutiae, is said to possess the right frame of absent-mindedness needed to unite the aloof realm of blogging psychotics.
CNN reports that The National Toy Hall of Fame has inducted the stick into its majestic institution. Claiming that voter fraud had much to do with the selection of the stick, an alliance formed by some mud, a crab-apple, a dandelion, a pine-cone, and a flat-sided rock perfect for skipping, also filed a law suit claiming that they had been defamed by negative campaigning by the stick, which, in ads, had claimed that members of the alliance had once lived in a forest with several controversial figures, including the marijuana leaf and the magic mushroom.
November 5, 2008 · Born in 1899 in central Texas, Amanda Jones is the living link between the time when a black man could be owned as property and when a black man could be elected president of the United States. She calls Barack Obama's election "a blessing."
McCain's speech was gracious. Andrew Sullivan sums it up well:
It was very classy, very moving, and finally worthy of the man we once thought we knew. Alas, his crowd was as ugly as he was gracious. I fear what will now become of the GOP.
Wonkette operative “Tribe” reports from Ohio:
I’m an Obama inside observer in Toledo. Rumor has it, heard from other observers, that Joe the Plumber attempted to cast a ballot in the wrong precinct. Rumor also has it that he was stopped by a City of Toledo police officer in the last few days for speeding … but Joe the Plumber insisted on the officer contacting the officer’s supervisor to let him know “who he was giving a ticket to.”
Joe, welcome back to obscurity.
