The POLITICO's Ben Smith reporting that increasingly tense campaign stops have greeted Sarah Palin and her aides.. Former Bush aides tasked to handle and control Palin have reported to the POLITICO that she increasingly is on her own, often blaming the handlers for her tarnished public image. One senior Republican aide told Smith for his report that Palin intends to go "rogue" and get even more "rogue" at campaign events.
As the election nears .. and soon will be at a close, the Christian right is intensifying its attacks on Barack Obama .. such tactics as talking about Obama ending the Boy Scouts, instituting nationalized gay marriage, and Israel getting hit with a nuke attack due to the election..
CBS NEWS/AP While she may not be the Schmuck of the week by its best definition, she is the prevaricator of the week. Yesterday, when the Drudge Report led the site on Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old McCain volunteer that claimed she was attacked, and that a B was carved on her face, other websites picked it up. Even the SCHMUCKRAKER made reference to it in its random rakings section yesterday.. But now it turns out, as some online suspected, the story of Ashley Todd has gone down in flames .. it was false, according to police investigating the incident.
Perhaps the backwards B should have.. well, tipped everyone off?
She told police Wednesday that she was attacked by a black male.. Today she can't explain why she made the story up.. AP suggests that police were initially suspicious, again, because the B on her face was backwards.
A morbidly twisted tale, the ends even more on the morbid note.. My hope is that she makes a quick recovery, and that she has mental analysis done. And that the media leaves her family alone--and leaves her alone.

One year ago today at noon, Tara and I got married.. and one year flew by since. Not because of bad, but because of work, life.. normal worries. Things that don't matter in life.. What really matters in life in life is love, spirit, fate. What really matters is hope.. What really matters is the journey we are all on, one that takes us on the same paths often, but on lonely paths other times. But with you, Tara, my time has not been lonely. It also has not been without hope and love, you have inspired more since October 20, 2007.
And now as leaves fall, and Autumn turns into Winter, we will dream of Spring, when all gets reborn. And through it all, love never dies, even as those cold winds start to blow through trees outside.

AP Photo/Amy Sancetta I'm going away for a long deserved one and a half day vacation with my wife as we celebrate one year of marriage.. And like always, my timing in impeccable: A beach during the .. fall? How cold is this going to be!!? Lucky enough, the weather appears to be headed for warm days in New Jersey .. our brief stint will be over before we know it, but that seems to be the pattern: One year of marriage flew by with the click of a finger and a blink of an eye. Wish us some good thoughts as we head to Long Beach Island .. and hopefully have a romantic dinner at a restaurant that chose to stay open this long into the season.
