THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO

*  According to USA Today, 74 percent of Americans plan to hand out candy this Halloween. Although President Obama thinks it should be just the top 1 percent.

*  Trick-or-treating is expected to climb for the 10th straight year. Kids still love the candy, they just hate the walking.

*  A team of British lawyers has now concluded that the Declaration of Independence was illegal, and the American colonies had no right to secede from England. Well, you thought our court system was backed up.

*  While testifying at the Conrad Murray trial, Michael Jackson's personal nurse complained of being faint on the stand, and the court had to be adjourned. How scary is that? Getting sick in that courtroom and the only doctor in the house is Conrad Murray.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONAN

*  This year one of the most popular costumes is the Snooki costume. It's easy to make. You just dress up as an orange pumpkin and pass out in a men's room.

*  The United States has been using Twitter to help fight the Taliban. The theory is the Taliban will surrender if they read enough tweets from Kanye West.

*  Justin Bieber adopted a dog. The adorable poodle who was just recently potty trained says he loves having a dog.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN

*  If you are a cabdriver in New York City, you can't use your horn any more. And the cab drivers are going crazy because they think, "Well how do we warn people that we're running red lights?"

*  The Occupy Wall Street protestors cleaned up their park. Maybe we can get them to come here and clean up this dump.

*  There's a guy that wants to be Superman so much that he spent a million dollars on plastic surgery so to look like him. I'm telling you, Rick Perry is really getting desperate.

JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!

*  I hate having to find a Halloween costume. They turn these abandoned blockbuster video stores into Halloween costume cities. And the costumes are all stupid. And the employees in the store do not care because they know they're fired on Nov. 1.

*  A new poll released today by Fox News has former godfather's pizza CEO Herman Cain leading the Republican candidates for president. And he's the funniest candidate by about 40 points.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON

*  President Obama just announced a new student loan plan that will forgive debt after 20 years. Yeah, Obama said that forgiving debt is the most honorable thing someone can do. And then he repeated that in Chinese.

*  A company in Illinois is selling a collectible baby doll of President Obama. It's really cute. The doll can even say a few words, as long as it has a teleprompter.

*  Last week, a Delta passenger proposed to his girlfriend on the plane, after they met on a Delta flight back in 2010. Of course, since it's Delta, they've actually just been stuck on that plane since 2010.

FORMER KKK GRAND WIZARD DAVID DUKE SUPPORTS OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT

David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has joined President Barack Obama, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in expressing support for the Occupy Wall Street movement, whose protests have been marked by anti-Semitism.

In a video about the Occupy Wall Street protests, Duke said: "I cheer the men and women on the streets condemning the international banks that hold America financially hostage. These Wall Street banks are not the product of free enterprise; they are the product of crime."
"Yes, occupy Wall Street," Duke also said. "Finally, Americans are rising up and it feels great."

OBAMA'S CHIEF OF STAFF DROPS THE "F" BOMB

It is a sunny day at the White House with bright light streaming through the gauzy curtains that cover the patio doors and many windows of Bill Daley's corner office in the West Wing. And so I try to find some underlying gloom.

Daley, the White House chief of staff, will twice in the course of our hourlong interview refer to the first three years of Barack Obama's administration as "ungodly" and once as "brutal."

 "It's been a brutal three years," he says. "It's been a very, very difficult three years, an incredible three years. And we are doing all this under the overhang of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. F-k! It wasn't like all this was happening in good times."

MARK LEVIN: BOEHNER IS "SABOTAGING THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA"
 
"The reason why this is so frustrating and annoying is because the vessel through which those of us who believe in liberty, and private property, constitutionalism and so forth -- that we work through is the Republican party," Mark Levin said on his nationally syndicated radio show about John Boehner.

Mark Levin: John Boehner is Republican Mush

Levin says Boehner has "succeeded" with co-opting at least two-thirds of freshmen Republican.

"So if we have people at the head of the Republican party who are sabotaging the conservative agenda they need to be called out. And unfortunately I pointed out that the only way conservatives in the House are going to make progress is if there's new Republican Leadership. John Boehner's been around for over two decades; he's not part of the conservative movement, he's not part of the Tea Party movement. And even though he's not part of those things he doesn't respect them. He jawbones us."

"And he has cut so many bad deals with this president and he's taken the House Republicans in such a terrible direction and some of them are actually mindnumbed to this. They don't even realize it."

MITT ROMNEY: UNSTOPPABLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?

New Hampshire is at the center of the 2012 Republican presidential race today, as Texas Gov. Rick Perry travels to the state to formally file as a candidate for the first-in-the-nation primary and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul also make campaign stops in the state.

But unlike Iowa, where voters seem genuinely undecided about picking a favorite, New Hampshire Republicans have installed Romney as the clear frontrunner in their primary - raising the question of just how competitive the Granite State race will be in 2012.

10 REASONS CHRISTIANS SHOULD REJECT ROMNEY

We've all heard the controversy about presidential candidate Mitt Romney's faith. Is he a Christian? He claims to be, yet 75 percent of American Protestant pastors disagree with the statement: "I personally consider Mormons to be Christians." Wherever you stand, here are the top 10 reasons Christians can never vote for Mitt Romney - and they have nothing to do with his Mormon faith.

1.    Romney forced homosexual marriage upon Massachusetts.

When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decided in 2003 to recognize homosexual "marriage," ignoring the voters and the Constitution, the court admitted it did not have power to issue licenses or force participation by justices of the peace to solemnize the weddings.

But as governor, Romney didn't wait for the legislature to act, he just ordered the marriage licenses and weddings to go forward, all by himself. Earlier this month, Romney said in New Hampshire, "What I would support [nationwide] is letting people who are of the same gender form - if you will - partnership agreements."

And despite the over 2,500 pedophilia cases now on record involving homosexual Scout leaders, Romney once stated, "I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation."

CAIN COWBOY AD GOES WEST TO LAMPOON OBAMA

He has somehow managed to emerge unscathed-but his team is determined to stop the bleeding.
"We're trying to slow down a little bit, make sure he's rested, make sure he's focused," says J.D. Gordon, the campaign's vice president for communications. The goal is to achieve a "more deliberate pace...so we don't make those kinds of mistakes."

Herman Cain has said he was "po'" before he was poor. But he's not anymore.

According to recently certified financial disclosure forms, the former pizza chain executive has an estimated net worth of somewhere between $2.9 million and $6.8 million.  

The disclosure forms, which are required of all presidential candidates, show that Cain has benefited from his business acumen with investments in corporations such as Whirlpool and Coca-Cola. And he's been paid six-figure salaries for sitting on the boards of Whirlpool, Hallmark Cards and agricultural concern Agco.

'THERE IS LIKELY TO BE THIRD-PARTY WILD CARD' IN 2012

American voters have fired two modern presidents after just one term, Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George H.W. Bush in 1992. Both suffered because the economy was in poor shape, and both faced disaffection within their own parties. But there was another thing those candidates had in common: They both faced relatively strong third-party candidates in the November election.

John B. Anderson in 1980 and H. Ross Perot in 1992 both ran as independent centrists, and while they weren't the only reason the incumbents lost (Ronald Reagan won a majority of the popular vote in 1980), they were certainly a factor.

HAROLD CAMPING, THE MAN WHO PREDICTED THE END OF THE WORLD, HAS RETIRED
 
Harold Camping, who predicted Oct. 21 to be the day Christians would be caught up to heaven and that God would judge the world, said on Oct. 16 that he is no longer able to lead Family Radio Stations, Inc. or his ministry, and his wife has confirmed that the 90-year-old radio evangelist has retired, a documentarian close to Camping told The Christian Post in an exclusive interview.


Camping also said in a private conversation that day that nobody could know exactly when the time of the apocalypse would come, according to his interlocutor. That statement constitutes a radical change in his teachings, as Camping used to claim that the date of the end of the world is encoded in the Bible, and that he had found the way to read it through studying it closely for many years.

MARXIST IN CHIEF STIKES AGAIN

Back when Obama was trolling for illusory savings to manipulate Congressional Budget Office scorekeepers into decreeing that Obamacare would be revenue-neutral, he proposed the ingenious scheme whereby the federal government would subsume 100 percent of the student loan industry and eliminate evil private-sector profits going to "middlemen."

WITH LOBBYIST DONORS, OBAMA LETS HIMSELF OFF ON A TECHNICALITY

One of the places where Barack Obama scored big points on John McCain in 2008 was in casting himself as a squeaky-clean outsider and McCain as a Washington swamp-dweller surrounded by lobbyists.

"They will not work in my White House," Obama often intoned of lobbyists. But, over time, dozens of former lobbyists came to work for the administration. As Washington Examiner lobbyist lacerator Tim Carney observed, this prompted Obama to adopt a new phrasing of the old pledge: "We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs."

Speaking to the newspaper on Monday, Osteen said, "I see faith in America at an all-time high." His comments came just as a major research project detailed a significant loss of vitality in America's Christian congregations. That loss of vitality can be traced, among other things, to a loss of theological and biblical conviction. Joel, of course, is proof positive that you can build a crowd without building a church. He is not inclined to deal in much theological conviction.

VIDEO OF 6,810 BOTTLES OF WINE CRASHING TO THE FLOOR

It's a wine lover's nightmare - thousands of bottles of the world's finest grape juice crash on the floor, leading to a tsunami of undrinkable vino.

At Superior Discount Liquors in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, that disastrous scenario really did happen.
A 78ft long shelving unit suddenly becoming detached from its anchoring wall.

Standing four shelves high, a total of 6,810 bottles of wine and champagne smashed on the floor.
The liquor turned into a sea of red and broken glass.

Managers at the store are stumped as to why or how it happened, but did admit the shelves are 31 years old.

Superior Wine Shelf Collapse

Or could it be the work of an anti-alcohol spirit bitterly intent on giving the imbibers of Sheboygan (population: nearly 48,000) a hard time.

'It just kept rolling away from the wall from front to back, and I was in disbelief. I didn't know what to do or say. The whole thing only took 10 seconds,' employee Peter Guske told a local ABC station.
Watch as a stunned store worker near the tumbling shelves breaks the land speed record as he scrambles to safety.

After the initial shock, store workers kept their cool and cleaned the blood-red mess up as quickly as possible with snow shovels, shop vacuums and floor scrubbers.

They didn't even have to close the store.

The woeful wine incident was captured by two surveillance cameras in the store, in black and white and color!

The video was uploaded on Youtube on October 10 and has already had nearly 266,000 views.

NEW FILM CHALLENGES ANTI-CHRISTIAN 'INDOCTRINATION' IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

As the 2012 presidential race begins to draw public attention, a new film seeks to bring education to the forefront of public debate. 'IndoctriNation: Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America', a documentary that explores the origins and social impact of America's public school system, was  released on DVD October 18, followed by public screenings in select cities across the US.

The controversial film has sparked debate among Christians and atheists over the roles of faith, and government in education.

IndoctriNation Trailer

Recent news coverage has highlighted the controversy of several presidential candidates who will seek to dismantle the US Department of Education if elected, a goal shared by Ronald Reagan but abandoned by the Republican Party in recent years.

"People are starting to wake up to the damaging effects of a government controlled education monopoly," says 'IndoctriNation' co-director, Colin Gunn, a Scotland-born filmmaker living in Texas. He continues, "We now are facing all these problems in America - high taxation, welfare dependency, government debt - and as Christians and conservatives we have to see we can't solve those problems until we solve the public schooling problem."

Look at some compelling clips from the documentary.
