“I mean has anybody been watching the debates lately? You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change. It’s true. You’ve got audiences cheering at the prospect of somebody dying because they don’t have healthcare. And booing a service member in Iraq because they’re gay. That’s not reflective of who we are.”
– Barack Obama at Democratic fundraiser

From the StarTribune: Business entrepreneur Herman Cain shocked the political world by winning the Florida GOP’s influential presidential straw poll Saturday, while Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann finished dead last in the field of eight candidates.
Cain, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO who appears to have caught fire in recent weeks, topped the GOP field with 37.1 percent of the 2,657 votes cast.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the current leader in most polls, finished second with 15.4 percent of the delegates’ votes in Florida, edging out former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who won 14 percent.
Michele Bachmann’s poor showing in Florida – receiving only 40 ballots, or 1.51 percent of the vote, seemed to further diminish the fast-waning luster of her campaign.
Unlike the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa, nearly all candidates running were included on the Florida ballot, and delegates representing counties throughout the state paid their own way to the event. The last three Florida GOP straw poll winners have become their party’s nominee.
Among the rest of the field, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, a perennial favorite among grass-roots GOP activists, came in fifth behind former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, each receiving a little more than 10 percent of the vote.
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich finished sixth at 8.4 percent, and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman finished seventh with 2.2 percent.
From EW: Two and a Half Men may have found a way to build upon its stellar premiere week ratings: Alcide is coming to Malibu!
With Manganiello at 6’4″, I’d say this brings the cast size of the hit sitcom to “Four Men.”
The True Blood star Joe Manganiello will make an appearance in the Oct. 24 episode of the CBS comedy. He’ll play the smoldering hot boyfriend (as if he could play anything less) of Bridget, the ex-wife of Walden (Ashton Kutcher). Bridget will be portrayed by Judy Greer, who makes her first appearance on Monday.
Manganiello just wrapped his fourth season of True Blood but he’s definitely staying ripped to play “Big Dick Richie” in Steven Soderbergh’s movie about male strippers.
He’s also set to star opposite his old school pal Matt Bomer in an episode of USA’s White Collar that will air in January.
So, whenever I head out to Michael’s office (which is in a casita in front of the house) the dogs race me to the door and I have to move fast so they don’t run out into the front yard – although most of them are terrified of the “big, bad world out there” so they never get farther than about six feet from the door before they freeze and head back in the house.
Anyway, no matter how long I’m out in Michael’s office, when I do come in they are always at the door waiting. I used to think they hear me approach the door and come running, but John – Michael’s associate – took this picture, and apparently they stay at the door however long it takes for me to come back in…
I am loved.
(Or at least I’m the one who gives out treats most often…)
