HICKS WITH GUNS COVER DEAD BEAR IN OBAMA SIGNS The loonies are out of control! They're coming out of the woodwork and using MURDERED BLACK BEARS as some sort of warning to Barack Obama. This is our 'Merica: "Police at Western Carolina University and wildlife officials were investigating the discovery early Monday of a dead bear cub draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs. Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor for public relations, said Monday night that maintenance workers found the 75-pound bear cub shot to death in front of the school's administration building at the entrance to campus. The Obama yard signs were stapled together and placed over the bear's head, Tvedt said. The bear had been shot in the head, Tvedt said."

Last night's Saturday Night Live was epic, right, guys? Or was that just us? To kick things off, Mark Wahlberg made good on his promise to confront Andy Samberg in the SNL studios' "cafeteria" — and it was hilariously awesome. We can't tell if Mark really didn't have a sense of humor about the animals skit when it debuted a couple weeks ago and then slowly grew one or if he has simply been fooling us all along. Either way, he was funny.

And then it happened: Vice Presidential joke Sarah Palin also followed through with her threat to appear on the show, despite our concerns that the cast would go easy on her. They openly mocked her during a Weekend Update rap, moose and all. We would say more, but we don't want to spoil the glory.

A new anti-Sarah Palin ad hit YouTube today courtesy of the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund. The minute-long clip attacks Palin's love of hunting, complete with shots of dying animals. It's horrifying, to say the least. We couldn't sit through it more than once.

THEN THERE'S THIS "Palin's a big fan of aerial wolf hunting. What is aerial wolf hunting? Basically, you get a bunch of guns, board a plane, find a wolf, and then chase the wolf with your plane until the wolf is dead on its feet from exhaustion. Then you land your plane and shoot the wolf."
