My family makes me laugh.

BALTIMORE, Maryland (AP) — A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals in the belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation’s tolerance of homosexuality.

I’ve dealt with these folks personally. And good that they have to pay but it will still never be enough.

The church and three of its leaders — the Rev. Fred Phelps and his two daughters, Shirley Phelps-Roper and Rebecca Phelps-Davis, 46 — were found liable for invasion of privacy and intent to inflict emotional distress.

This will be caught up in litigation for awhile. I’m sure the Phelps will appeal, but still, a jury made this decision.

And, the Phelps are all about suing folks so now they know what it feels like.

Karma is a bitch.

This is just funny. Hysterically funny.

The chick in the orange shirt just damn well abandoned her co-hosts to die.

Hee.

He says it costs too much to run on the GOP ticket.

Funnyman Stephen Colbert’s presidential campaign is apparently no joke.

The host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” will file papers late Wednesday or early Thursday to put his name on South Carolina’s Democratic primary ballot, a source familiar with the comedian’s strategy said.

Stephen Colbert, a South Carolina native, made two “campaign” stops in the Palmetto State last weekend.

The South Carolina native will not file papers as a Republican because the $35,000 required to get on the GOP ballot is apparently too high a threshold.

Bwahhahhaaaa.

Stephen Colbert is funny. Wouldn’t it be fun if he won. At least he has a sense of humor, not like some of the jokers running for president.

Bigfoot or a bear with a bad skin condition?

How Groovy for a fine Halloween morning. I’m going with Bigfoot, dammit. I have to. I must!!

…the only thing certain about the critter photographed by a hunter’s camera is that some people have gotten the notion it could be a Sasquatch, or bigfoot. Others say it’s just a bear with a bad skin infection.Rick Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer.

Yay!!!!! Still taking donations for the first ever Newscoma/Bigfoot Expedition!

I realize that playing the 46 movies in the Halloween series on Halloween makes sense, but I would much rather have some freaky Japanese horrorfest.

That’s just me.

Happy Halloween, campers. We will be back to our regular programming after midnight.

This scene was cut from the original “Exorcist” movie. I can’t help but ask what the hell is Linda Blair’s character, Regan, is doing with her lips.

It’s all very menacing.

This isn’t the scariest scene, in my opinion, from “Night of the Hunter” but it depicts some creepiness nonetheless.

Robert Mitchum plays a conman-psycho who has issues with sex in this film, the only one ever directed by actor Charles Laughton. Shot in a surreal fashion probably best suited for a children’s fantasy, it’s creepy. The scenes from Mitchum and Shelley Winters, who just wants to consummate her marriage, is painful to watch but I couldn’t find the eeriest clip, which has Winters sitting in a car at the bottom of a the river.

But this isn’t bad.

Watch this movie as soon as possible if you haven’t already.

When I was a kid, the movie “The Day After” scared the hell of of me. No, not because Steve Guttenberg was in it, but because no one knew that the bombs were coming.

I was a kid. It scared me.

A lot.

Incidentally, I know the special effects are cheesy. Didn’t matter.

Viggo Mortenson was the best SATAN ever in “The Prophecy” which wasn’t a bad movie but wasn’t great either.

But, Viggo, man, he rocked as the evil red one although he was red in this movie, yet again, I digress.

He was great in every scene.

Squeegee Monkey, the bro-in-law, voted this one as very, very freaked out.

He especially doesn’t like it when cute kid, Gage, asks for folks to come out and “play with him.”

This clip is not for the squeamish of friends of Herman Munster.

Seriously, very eerie.
