Herman Cain says he was just making a joke about deterring illegal immigrants from coming into America with electrocution at the border. His so-called joke, told to two crowds in Tennessee where the GOP presidential candidate was campaigning last week, went like this: It's giong to be 20 feet high, Cain said, according to The New York Times. It's going to have barbed wire at the top. It's going to be electrified. And there's going to be a sign on the other side saying, ...

So here's the dilemma in case you missed it. I was watching the GOP presidential debate from Dartmouth early this week, brought to us by Bloomberg TV and The Washington Post. Early in the debate I noticed along with many others that Ron Paul's eyebrow seemed to be falling off. In fact, it looked to me to be a fake eyebrow -- an eyebrow toupee.

Apple's release of the iOS 5 couldn't have been at a more perfect time when RIM BlackBerry is having major outage problems. And with the new iMessage feature on iOS5 RIM could take another hit.

If one is honest, we can't say for certain that senior Iranian leaders actually approved a thwarted operation to kill Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. There is, after all, no undeniable proof. But if one is still being honest, we can't say for certain that they were not behind it.

As some economists and critics debate the merits of the Herman Cain 9-9-9 tax plan, with some saying the solution is not as simple is scrapping the tax code in favor of such a straight-line formula, many Republican voters see it differently. It's a major reason why Cain, of Atlanta, has surged to the top of at least one recent poll besting former front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.

As for Cain, he has handled the slings and arrows thrust upon him with humor, charm and aplomb.

Atlanta Falcons' rookie receiver Julio Jones will miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers because of a hamstring injury. Jones hasn't been the fantasy-type of player people have come to expect so far.

The Big East is in desperate times and now needs to make a desperate move: it needs to extend an invite to Boise State.

Rick Perry came in like a lion. But he's close to going out of the Republican presidential nominee race as a lamb.

The Republican debate on Bloomberg is underway at Dartmouth, and the focus is on something critical to America: The economy. But I've barely heard a word said in the first 18 minutes of the debate because I'm so concerned about Ron Paul's fake eyebrow, which is falling off.

iPhone 4S, the latest iPhone that was launched on Oct. 4, a day before Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs passed away, was sold out on its very first day of pre-order (Oct. 7).

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has become the best quarterback in the NFL just two years in the making, overtaking New England Patriots QB Tom Brady and Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning.

I am probably the world’s biggest Beatles fan. I have loved the group since I was a child and could probably recite the lyrics of every one of their 200-plus original songs. However, Paul is addicted to the limelight. He simply cannot get enough of it -- and I think millions of Beatles die-hards (including me) are sick and tired of it.

The more I read about Herman Cain, the more I like about Herman Cain.

Anyone who says they can predict the impact of Occupy Wall Street on the political climate and public policy is being disingenuous. But one thing is known: modern U.S. history shows, if Occupy Wall Street is to succeed it, the movement most likely will have to merge its interests with the Democratic Party.

We all know the shape - a small white rectangle with rounded corners, a screen, and a circular control. The first iPod debuted in November of 2001 and put all other portable music players to shame. It didn't try to be like the other guys, with their dubious interfaces and The Matrix-y black exteriors; instead, the iPod was its own kind of cool - obnoxiously so - with a minimalist white exterior and unapologetically Mac-centric interface design. In a way, the iPod was a representation of Apple...

One of the few things Google can't seem to serve up relevant results for is Mitt Romney Skinny Jeans.

When the Occupy Wall Street movement began, it seemed like one of those things that was interesting for a moment but likely to soon go away. Now, the movement has spread to other U.S. cities as offshoots of the so-called leaderless movement, we can see and understand that something much bigger is happening than just another protest.

After losing last night 5-4 to the Detroit Tigers, the New York Yankees now must rely on a finicky, talented yet inconsistent pitcher. In other words: A.J. Burnett.

The Big East member schools all affirmed commitment to the conference and authorized full power to beleaguered commissioner John Marinatto to aggressively pursue new members on Sunday, but does it really matter?

The Detroit Lions are undefeated. And it's already October. The team had a big 34-30 win on the road at Dallas Sunday after it had appeared early in the game that it was back to the business of old for the Lions.

The Occupy Wall Street message may not yet but a completely coherent one, but there is a unifying thread amongst the chaos - unemployed youth.
