“He was well spoken,” said John Walters, a customer who works nearby. “He always said good morning to everyone. He used to memorize what everyone needed in the morning.”
It's a fascinating attempt to try to understand how a young man so steeped in American culture could plan (if he did indeed plan) such a horrible act of violence, and it's impossible to read without getting chills. [NYT]
Over 60,000 dogs are competing in an online cutest dog pageant in which the winner has the chance to win a million bucks from a pet products company. Until last week, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Mozart seemed like the one to beat, until an unnamed Colbert fan site posted a message urging Colbert fans to vote for a Pomeranian Chihuahua mixed-breed puppy named Stephen Colbert el dos, and now that the two pups are neck-and-neck, Mozart's owner is hopping mad. Oh, and there's a twist: Mozart's owner entered the contest to raise money for the New Orleans recovery effort. Rumors that Stephen Colbert el dos might appear on the show if he reaches the top 12 were not confirmed by the network, so we're going to have to just see how this thing plays out. Since The Colbert Report would surely donate money to the charity if canine Colbert wins, we did our part and just voted for Colbert el dos. He is the cuter dog after all. [CNN]

If you missed any episodes from Season 3, or just want to watch them all in a row box-set-style (which we all now know is the best way), AMC is running a marathon of the first six starting at 10 AM EDT tomorrow. But heed the warning of MM uber-fansite Basket of Kisses and use only this AMC schedule as your guide -- apparently the schedule on AMC's Mad Men site is ALL WRONG. [Basket of Kisses]
Heartwarming story alert!: After Congregation Beth Elohim, one of the synagogues targeted by Fred Phelps's anti-semitic hate protests, found on Thursday that their roof had collapsed, Rabbi Andy Bachman called up Pastor Daniel Meeter of Old First Dutch Reformed Church in Park Slope to ask for help. Meeter immediately offered his church's facilities for Beth Elohim's Yom Kippur services tomorrow and Monday, saying he and his congregation would be honored to help. What a lovely story of community and friendship trumping hate and fear. (Too bad it probably won't get back to Fred Phelps.) [Via Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn]
Front Page: Chinese pic takes top honors at San Sebastian fest -- "City of Life and Death," from mainland Chinese writer-director Lu Chuan, won the Golden Shell at the 57th San Sebastian Film Festival.
Thursday night's episode of that great new show that everyone loves, Community, showed a full version of the opening credits for the first time, and a Movieline reader couldn't help but notice that the actress Yvette Nicole Brown's illustrated credit, whether by accident or design, looks kind of tasteless.

Kings Island, which dubs itself "The best family theme park in the Midwest," has bowed to pressure from Ohio citizens who are appalled at their new Halloween Haunt attraction, which included skeletons dressed up to resemble recently deceased celebrities, including Michael Jackson with Bubbles, Farah Fawcett in her red bikini, Heath Ledger as The Joker (surrounded by pill bottles), and perhaps most disturbingly, Steve McNair and his girlfriend, on a couch, with a gun. (Presumably Patrick Swayze's death failed to meet the artist's deadline.) In this report from Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, a spokesman for the theme park says, ironically, "Every year we try to raise the bar with what we're doing here." Even a teenage boy interviewed by the station thinks the exhibit went too far. A teenage boy!
USA Network has confirmed the rumors that Vincent D'Onofrio is saying goodbye to Law & Order: Criminal Intent. He and his co-star Kathryn Erbe, who is also leaving to be replaced by Saffron Burrows, will participate in the show's two-part season premiere. D'Onofrio has issued a statement:
"After eight seasons, and with the addition of Jeff Goldblum, now is the perfect time for me to explore other acting opportunities and I leave the show knowing it is in great hands with Jeff. For all my loyal CI fans, I wouldn't be surprised if Goren pops up from time to time."
It's sad to see D'Onofrio, whose unusual (over)acting style made the show consistently hilarious, go. But as long as Jeff Goldblum sticks around, CI is in good hands, absurdity-wise. [EW]
Anne Morell Petrillo, the daughter of newspaper heiress Anne Scripps Douglas, who was murdered in 1993 by her husband who then jumped to his death from the Tappan Zee bridge, has apparently jumped from the same bridge, leaving a note, according to police who are searching the Hudson River for her body. She was 38. [NYT]
Conan O'Brien was taken to the hospital yesterday after he hit his head while attempting a stunt during the taping of his show, and NBC was forced to air a repeat last night instead. NBC released a statement attributing the following to O'Brien: “Last thing I remember I was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies and juice.” So he's probably okay. But here's hoping the beloved talk show host makes a speedy recovery. [NYT]
Yesterday, the State Department's Flickr stream included this photo of the Obamas with Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his heretofore unseen teenage daughters, who are not allowed to be photographed to protect their privacy. And now all the world knows that 13-year-old Alba and 16-year-old Laura are in the midst of their goth phase. Next up: their feminist hippie phase. Somebody send them an Indigo Girls CD to move things along. [NY Post]
