What the residents of tiny Dauphin borough didn't expect, though, was to find a fleet of TV cameras show up on their doorsteps, followed by two burly men wearing suits and earpieces, followed by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, her husband and their daughter. No, it wasn't Tina Fey or any other Palin impersonator. The Republican vice presidential candidate stopped in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it town off Route 322 on Friday night to take her daughter Piper out for candy. And none of the residents, not even the Borough...

One of the parents yelled at the driver to slow down. The driver stopped her car and exited the vehicle holding a three-foot long crow bar. Witnesses say the suspect began swinging the crow bar at the group violently. The suspect struck a parent on the forehead with the crow bar and then drove away quickly. Witnesses were able to jot down the license plate number. The suspect and her vehicle were...

The victim's son said he can't rationalize any motive for the shooting. "She didn't deserve this," he said. "Someone came over here and shot my mom for no apparent reason. To me, they are just a bunch of cowards." The suspect rang the woman's doorbell, at a home in the Mar Vista area, just before 10 p.m. Friday.

Who would have thought it would give valuable insight into election 2008, and quite possibly, a big reason for McCain/Palin supporters to believe in victory? No tricks like illegal voter registrations or unrevealed birth certificates, only lots of treats in high fives, photo requests, thumbs ups, and even a few indecent proposals. Where did all this optimism and reason to believe begin? Quite simple- I was Sarah Palin for Halloween. It all began last weekend at a friend’s Halloween party. Being Sarah Palin...

Barack Obama had taken a break from the campaign trail for a few hours of Halloween fun at home with his family four days before the election, but ended up visibly annoyed when news crews dogged their footsteps in their Chicago neighborhood. "That's enough. You've got a shot. Leave us alone," Obama told reporters as he walked down the block with his 7-year-old daughter Sasha in her costume on the...

After the Moon sets – around 11 p.m. local time on Nov. 5, later on subsequent nights – some 10 to 15 meteors may appear per hour. They are often yellowish-orange and, as meteors go, appear to move rather slowly. Their name comes from the way they seem to radiate from...
