- Big Oil Bob Schaffer's son is just like his old man

- Some guy from Focus on the Family asks everybody to pray for rain on August 28th for Obama's Acceptance Speech. Now there's a real Christian for you. Jealous much?

- And finally... John McCain wants his wife to be Miss Buffalo Chip
Buffalo Chip has a reputation for that sort of thing. It holds a Miss Buffalo Chip contest every night, which is essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too. During a drenching rain Wednesday night, the contest broke up into smaller groups and one woman wound up dancing naked on a bar top. Her boyfriend/husband saw her and angrily dragged her away as she struggled to put her pants back on and muttered something about how, "It's only this one week a year." - ESPN
