*Update* Composer Danny Elfman will be joining us for a short movie night tonight from 8:30-9:15 pm, EST, to discuss his directorial debut, a commercial for the PAC he founded, www.ourgreatestfear.org.  "What is Elfman’s greatest fear? That Sarah Palin will become president. Given McCain’s age and health, this is a valid concern."  Join us!*

John McCain put the cherry on top of his double maverick campaign for President of the United States with an appearance on Saturday Night Live.  As expected, he was in the opening skit with Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin.  Even his wife Cindy made a cameo appearance.  Groveling for votes in a forum unlikely to get him any, did he do it to impress his media friends?  Sad, but funny.

If you haven’t all ready, VOTE.  It ain’t over until all the ballots are cast and counted.
