1. Hurricane Sandy. The Frankenstorm. It will affect millions of people along the East Coast. Are you in the path of the storm? It's scary, for sure. But you still shouldn't be alerting the authorities to the fact that you plan on coping during the hurricane with illegal substances. Come on, now, y'all.

2. The San Francisco Giants won the World Series! They swept the Detroit Tigers to become the 2012 World Series Champions. And then there was rioting. Because nothing says "I'm so happy we won!" like climbing on buses and lighting things on fire.

3. Joss Whedon decided to come out in support of Mitt Romney AND the impending zombie apocalypse.

4. Argo was finally the top film at the box office this weekend. It only took three weeks!

What's Halloween without The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror? Well, if it weren't for Twilight, Halloween would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING without it! You might as well put down your Goobers, shove those Sweet Tarts right up your butthole, and return that slutty zombie outfit to Party City, because Halloween ain't happening without some Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

Now, luckily for you and me, The Simpsons is still going strong; they're in their 24th season and just premiered Treehouse of Horror XXIII two weeks ago, so our buttholes will be candy free (or not…wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more).  

But my favorite Treehouse of Horror episode is XII. It premiered in the show's eighth season, back in 1996. It featured a great Bill Clinton/Bob Dole storyline that is all too poignant as Halloween AND the presidential election approach. In the short, aliens Kang and Kudos abduct Bill and Bob and then K and K pose as the politicians down on Earth, in order to gain power!!!!!!  There are so many gags and one-liners that have stuck with me from this episode since I first saw it, but my absolute favorite is when Bob and Bill are holding hands while walking down the street in order to share protein particles. Classic, just classic.

So, get the DVD or catch it on TV because this is a good one. And remember to vote in this year's presidential election, because if you don't, you won't be able to say things like this to your friends if things go horribly wrong.

The election is over, and Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America for another four years. Love the result or hate it, one thing is for sure: we live in a great nation where the people have a voice, and that voice has spoken. Democrat or Republican, the result is in, and it's time to move forward together.  

I've put together a playlist made up of songs about America, as well as songs that deal with ideas and sentiments that I feel are associated with the American way of life. Some of these songs might not necessarily feel "patriotic" in the most reductive definition of the word, but I believe that patriotism is a word that is not easily defined: it means many different things to many different people and I hope this playlist reflects that while Americans might have differing ideas and opinions we are all united in that we have the ability to express our feelings freely.

And also, let's be frank: this is a killer playlist. Rock, folk, brass, doo-wop-- this one has it all. It was a thrill to make-- hope you enjoy it.

1. We're on Mars! The Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and has even sent back some pictures of the surface. Naturally the internet has responded to this important scientific news by making a meme, and following the Curiosity Rover on twitter.

2. Michael Phelps is now the most decorated Olympic athlete to ever have existed ever in the world ever. With approximately seven thousand gold medals, we can safely say that no one will ever swim faster than Michael Phelps. Unfortunately, he didn't get a medal in Dreaminess, because Ryan Lochte got gold, silver, and bronze. 

3. This weekend Roseanne Barr's Comedy Central roast happened. I'm sure people said mean things to her, and then also her ex-husband arrived so that was probably awk, but more importantly SHE GOT OFFICIALLY NOMINATED AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. 

4. Natalie Portman got married to Benjamin Millepied, who she met on the set of Black Swan where he was the choreographer. Since Millepied is a French citizen, Portman is now officially a citizen of France as well, and if the french try to take her away from me I don't know what I'll do. 

5. During an interview Mitt Romney said something to the effect of "I'm not sure London is ready to host the Olympics", which clinched him the gold in "Things Not to Say on Camera".
