Tid-Bits

Just 741 people came to a theater in the famously liberal city of Portland to sign a petition last night for Ralph Nader -- fewer than the 1K signatures Nader needed to make the OR ballot. So Nader's camp said he could collect 15K signatures over a three-month period instead. Good luck. But Ralph, ever the optimist, told the LA Times "Even the best basketball player doesn't get a slam dunk every time." Ralph, you couldn't even hit a layup from six inches away.

Quote of the Day: "I apologize for any embarrassment caused to my supporters by my opponent's disclosure of a small part of my personal past" -- state House candidate Sam Walls (R), who had "an apparent fondness for women's apparel"

Runner up: "Jennifer Lopez is no longer the only one in her family with a million-dollar booty" -- New York Post, on Lopez matriarch Guadalupe winning a $2.4M jackpot playing $1 slots in Atlantic City.
