The presidential election will be here before we know it. And we'll know it because we'll have seen a hundred million attack ads from each side! Yesterday, the campaigns of both Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama released sharp ads criticizing each other.

To which the judge blushed and said, "I'm sorry I asked. I think I'm just going to withdraw my question," and the jurors laughed.

Now, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has used guest star stunt casting pretty well - Amanda Plummer as a disabled rape victim, Matthew Modine as a suspected pedophile, Ludacris as Ice-T's nephew - if the plotlines are over-the-top.

DMX made his way back to a court in Queens where prosecutors contended he "violated the conditions" of earlier sentence, but this time, he didn't taunt the security officers with his bling.
