...World Series, let's use a baseball analogy: McCain is down eight runs, but it is the seventh inning, not the ninth. He needs to whittle away at Obama's lead in Nashville to put himself within striking distance, not strain for a tie with a wild swing for the fence...
...List, however, isn't a death sentence - careful conservation work can bring back species from the brink of extinction. The black-footed ferret in the western U.S. was believed to be extinct in the wild - meaning it was only found in captivity - until it was successfully reintroduced into the wild by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service between 1991 and 2008.

Play opened up with possession evening out, as the two sides traded...
...facetious puppets, Kanye himself putters around in the background of the video, occasionally offering up some back-up to the Puppet Master-Flex. But his presence only leads one to wonder why he would follow up his glow-out extravaganza playing background rapper number one in a puppets-gone-wild video—not to mention why he might think that people would be interested in watching a full half-hour show dedicated to hip-hop puppets. Now I’m not saying I’m a gold digger, but there certainly isn’t much hidden...
