TIM TEBOW IS NOW THE MOST POPULAR ATHLETE IN AMERICA.  HAVE YOU HEARD THIS STORY?  IT SEEMS ON HIS TIME OFF TIM TEBOW GOES TO PRISONS AND HE VISITS WITH DEATH ROW INMATES TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT GOD; YOU KNOW HE IS VERY RELIGIOUS.  IN FACT, HE HAS VISITED SO MANY DEATH ROW INMATES HE'S NOW MET MORE OAKLAND RAIDER FANS THAN HE HAS BRONCO FANS.

THE OTHER NIGHT ON FOX SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN SAID TO SEAN HANNITY, THAT CHOOSING SARAH PALIN WAS "STILL THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE."  THAT’S GOT TO MAKE HIS WIFE FEEL PRETTY SPECIAL, HUH?  “OH SURE MARRY YOU WAS GOOD, BUT PICKING AN INEXPERIENCED UNDERPREPARED NOT VERY BRIGHT GOVERNOR…THAT WAS MY BEST DECISION.”

ACCORDING TO THE TABLOIDS, JOHN EDWARDS IS GOING TO MARRY HIS MISTRESS RIELLE HUNTER.  WHICH MEANS THEIR CHILD WON’T BE A BASTARD.  HE’LL STILL BE A LYING, CHEATING, BASTARD…BUT THE KID IS FINE.
