The fallout continues over Ted Haggard.. One email to the Schmuckraker this morning stated, "Religions have had their share of shame before, but it always bounced back." ...Maybe so, but only a few days before an election, the meth-buying back-rubbed (but not sex with the gay prostitute! --he says) preacher may matter to the conversative Christian base...

Democratic sources tell the Schmuckraker today that they expect a "tidal wave" in the Keystone state..

Confused now: And earlier photo from October 23 shows Swann sitting down behind a piano again.. no mention as to whether he played it or just acted as though he was...
SO confused that I actually called the Swann for Governor campaign in which I asked, "Can Lynn Swann play the piano!?" "No he cannot," said the person on the other end. The long mystery over.. But he looks natural behind it. Maybe he should learn...
