"Dear Listeners, Alex Keaton never would have gone all nimbly bimbly like that, would he?"

Too many political stories. Too little time. A few quick drive-bys while Maya hopefully naps a bit longer.

Tennessee just got a whole lot less civil with what might be this Election's Tackiest yet Most Hilarious, Worst Intended and Most Glaringly Racist Ad. Put together by the RNC against Harold Ford. It implies that because Ford's single, hot and has admitted to liking women, white Playboy Mansion chicks dig him. As if that's suddenly a bad thing in Tennessee. But the white chick aspect is really turning up the negative heat in that race.

If you haven't yet entered an Election pool this season (all the kidz are doing it), I suggest the Washington Post's Midterm Madness. Yes, that's how goshdarn American this Midterm has become - they've stolen the bracket sensibilities of the NCAA Basketball Tourneys. Yet another reason why the churchy hillbilly vote ain't gonna have as much sway this year, I reckon.

The whole Michael J. Fox vs. Rush Limbaugh debate of who's on what medication is really quite entertaining. Of course Rush is a complete facade who wouldn't know the proper use of medication if he had it tattooed inside his eyelids. But the fact that's he's digging in and defending his criticism of Fox's Parkinson's symptoms is creamy political nougat. The gross kind that is unavoidably delicious. For the unacquainted, this one, um, stems from a stem-cell initiative in Missouri that's partially hijacked the race between Talent (R-Incumbent) and McCaskill. Great race to watch.

Nap time might be ending. Thanks for checking in. Hope all your tics are unnoticed today. Rock on.
