THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWBERG, Ore. — Officials of a Christian university say a life-size effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was hung from a tree on the campus.

George Fox University President Robin Baker says a custodian discovered the cardboard cutout of Obama early Tuesday at the Oregon school and removed it.

The effigy was accompanied by a message targeting participants of a minority student scholarship program called Act Six.

It read, “Act Six reject.”

Baker says he met with the students in the Act Six program, who receive full scholarships, late Tuesday and plans to address the school’s student body Wednesday.

What the effing eff?!

It’s officially autumn

It’s now officially autumn and everyone here in the House of Sinus is feeling it. Even the dog’s congested. He’s getting a scalp massage and a tummy rub. I’m going for the Tylenol sinus.

I was also going to watch Heroes tonight, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m just not interested. Season two was very short, over ages ago, and wasn’t really that good. I know this will be better, but I just can’t care.

I didn’t make this.

An able-bodied seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns recounting their adventures at sea. Noting the pirate’s peg-leg, hook, and eye patch the seaman asks, “So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?”

The pirate replies, “We was caught in a monster storm off the cape and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin’ me out, a school of sharks appeared and one of ‘em bit me leg off.”

“Blimey!” said the seaman. “What about the hook?”

“Ahhhh…,” mused the pirate, “we were boardin’ a trader ship, pistols blastin’ and swords swingin’ this way and that. In the fracas me hand got chopped off.”

“Zounds!” remarked the seaman. “And how came ye by the eye patch?”

“A seagull droppin’ fell into me eye,” answered the pirate.

“You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?” the sailor asked incredulously.

“Well,” said the pirate, “it was me first day with the hook.”
