Ever wish you had your own Lauren Conrad look-alike to be best friends with and then shockingly betray in a scripted argument? Yale students do...all the time. To satisfy this urge, Yalies attempted to set the record for the most people dressed as “The Hills” star in one place last weekend. Yale Law School Auditorium was filled with countless LC look-alikes hoping to be a part of this historic event, but it has not yet been determined whether The Guinness World Records will recognize the feat as a new category.

...Associated Press interview from July 2007, Obama suggested that even the likelihood of genocide was insufficient grounds for retaining an American presence in Iraq. “If that’s the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now—where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife—which we haven’t done.” Obama is implying America should bear as much responsibility for the security of citizens...

At a time when the electorate seeks change, Obama's advisers say, it will not turn to a man who has worked in Washington for decades. McCain's aides are convinced they can win the cardinal argument about the necessity of experience.

...wide-open rhetoric about what can be instead of what was, you see a hint of his mother's credulity. When Obama gets donations from people who have never believed in politics before, they're responding to his ability-passed down from his mother-to make a powerful argument (that happens to be very liberal) without using a trace of ideology. On a good day, when he figures out how to move a crowd of thousands of people very different from himself, it has something to do with having had a parent who gazed at different cultures the way other...
