DARN RIGHT [WINK]: According to the NY Post's Cindy Adams, Gov. Sarah Palin will appear on SNL on October 25. As apolitically and appropriately for this site as you can, suggest what she should do.

Here's one idea: remake the Eddie Murphy/Stevie Wonder skit. Lorne tells Tina Fey how much he appreciates her impression of Gov. Palin, but knows she has to dedicate herself to 30 Rock full-time at this point, but -- don't worry! -- he's lined up some great comics to audition to take over the impression on the show, and he'd love her opinion on them. Send in Kristen Wiig, send in Casey Wilson, send in (Kenan Thompson or Bobby Moynihan), then send in Sarah Palin, who does it badly. Tina teaches her how to do it right, and LFNY,ISN!

SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS TIGER WOODS, TIGER WOODS, TIGER WOODS: Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. might be forced to miss Monday night's game due to an infirmity that I haven't seen mentioned in our culture, I think, since its appearance in an educational film screeened during the Michael Keaton/Joe Piscopo classic Johnny Dangerously.

Says one Deadspin commenter, "I heard they were so big that even Braylon Edwards wouldn't drop them."

TWO WORDS--COSBY SWEATER: Please provide suggested (and appropriate for this blog, as opposed to some other one) content and/or titles for the upcoming half-hour Barack Obama primetime special, which will preempt Knight Rider and Gary Unmarried on October 29 (additional preemptions are possible if the World Series doesn't go to game 6).

LIVE, FROM NEW YORK, IT'S EARLY THURSDAY EVENING: Maybe it's just me (and the financial industry), but yesterday was a really terrifying day. By the evening, I was both jittery and punchy, and that may have been the perfect recipe for an audience ready to enjoy SNL's prime-time Weekend Update Thursday Edition. I thought the debate was funny (hi, Chris Parnell; say hi to my cousin, Dr. Spaceman) and a few of the jokes really hit. Armisen's Obama still isn't funny (nor is Hammonds's McCain), but at least it's getting more accurate. More than that, though, I thought the combination of the look on Amy Poehler's face just as she announced the "Oh, My God, Are You Serious?" segment and Kenan Thompson's entire "fix it!" delivery (which should not have been funny, and probably won't be funny in retrospect, but which got funnier and funnier as it went on) pretty perfectly captured my own reaction to the last week.
