I found this funny image from the third debates here. It’s not photoshopped.
As some posters explained on the thread, McCain started walking one direction and then turned the other way and made a funny face to make fun of his indicision. Watching the video, his behavior was endearing and made him look human. I like that. But unfortunately (for McCain) it does make a hilariously awkward stillshot.
Kinda like this:
I’m not a die-hard Obama supporter. But there is something disgusting about this prayer. Perhaps it is the gall to lecture God about what’s at stake in this election. Perhaps it the folly to assume God’s preference.

MSNBC has a story about a teen’s harrowing experience of being drugged, kidnapped, gang raped, and almost sold. Luckily she was rescued. It’s depressing to read articles like this and almost unimaginable that a human can treat another human in this way.

Those of you from Bloomington are probably familiar with The Runcible Spoon. To those who aren’t, it’s a cool, local coffee shop. It’s been around for decades, attracts folks from all walks, and (I would say) resonates with the soul of the city. It was also one of the best part-time jobs I’ve ever had, especially Spoon Too.

Oh, wait. That was only on certain nights. More concretely:
So, anyway, I was exploring the various galleries in my neighborhood, Insadong, the other day and I found a neat little exhibit entitled Coffeeholic. I didn’t have my camera with me at the time, but I bought a book of paintings by the artist:
It was a fun exhibit, and they even gave out free coffee (or ‘copy’ as Koreans sometimes say 
) while browsing. Next time I’m in town, maybe I’ll sneak the book into the Spoon’s bookshelf. Some amusing pics:
