...flurries and bitter winds, 40,000 fans attended Game 101 at the Harvard Stadium. The cold temperatures discouraged elaborate tailgating but not enthusiastic spectating, even from the Yale bulldog, who strolled around the field while a flasher made several token appearances. Banished to the end zones, undergraduates wearing "Bulldog Buster" hats and "Fight 'Fiercely Harvard" pins built human pyramids and chugged beer. Both sides of the Stadium took turns standing and cheering, then sitting and shivering...
ACORN's Tent City was impressive; right by the major highway, Republican delegates coming in from the airport couldn't fail to notice the gospel tents, huge "Reagan-buster" signs, and people milling about from the ice-machines to the shade and back.

...Chevy Malibu A policeman sets off after him on a motorcycle, pulls him to the side of the road, and inquires what is in the trunk, which seems to contain something hot--literally. I wouldn't look in there, Parnell intimates, thereby piquing the cop's curiosity Bad move, buster. As Parnell watches out of the rear-view mirror, the cop opens the trunk, which emanates weird x-ray emissions and zaps the poor guy to smithereens. J. Frank drives off into the California sunset...
