Hitch is For Obama; Levi is Chill

Okay, everyone, we tried. But you probably had the day off for the big Columbus Day holiday, right? Whatever, check out this early-ish end-of-day post!

• Journalist/stuntman Christopher Hitchens has come out for Barack Obama.

• The Dow is surging; Nancy Pelosi's feeling stimulate-y.

• Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin's forthcoming child, on his role in the McCain/Palin campaign: "They're not telling me anything right now. It's pretty chill."

• Paris Hilton is not engaged to the chubby brother-in-law of Nicole Ritchie, got it?

• NBC and Saturday Night Live are looking to start a website to host their clips and stuff.

• The Sarah Palin porn flick, Nailin' Palin, has been cast, sickos. (These are pretty gross but SFW, in my opinion.)
