A look back at today's top stories

ELECTION 2012

With the race tightening, especially in Ohio and other key swing states, Romney and Obama square off in the final Presidential Debate tonight. The subject tonight will be foreign policy, which is why the Obama camp released this ad today. Obama today gained one Republican supporter, in the form of Kelly Clarkson and the Romney campaign is hoping that his chances don't go the way of his blimp.

Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin continues to show that he loves women. This time he compared opponent Claire McCaskill to a dog at a recent fundraiser.

WINGNUTTERY

Ever wondered what it's like inside a Mormon Temple? Well now you know. It's just as creepy as you thought.

A few stories about anti-gay rights wingnuts today. First a story out of New York, where a lesbian couple was not allowed to marry at the Liberty Ridge Farm because "it's a family place". In Vermont, the owners of an inn recorded a video against gay marriage in a state they don't even live in. Also anti-equality activists in Maryland are trying to suggest that Michelle Obama supports discrimination.

ENTERTAINMENT

Two female icons making news today. First an unfinished version of Cher's newest single "Woman's World" leaked today. Also, just a reminder, it's been 20 years since Madonna released "Sex".

VIDEOS OF THE DAY

ABC's What Would You Do? takes a look at shoppers' reactions to parents allowing their kids to buy "gender inapropriate" Halloween costumes. Not as many negative reactions as one might expect.

Gay Man Shot and Killed in Bizarre SF-Area 'Bath Salts' Incident: VIDEO

Vallejo

A bizarre and violent episode in Vallejo, California ended after officers responded Sunday to what CBS News describes as a "drug-filled rampage" at a burning home:

Jeremiah Moore, 29, was shot and killed by authorities during a bizarre incident that investigators said was fueled by hallucinogens – possibly a toxic combination commonly of drugs known as “bath salts.” On Sunday, officers received calls from neighbors that two men, later identified as Moore and his partner, Jason Jessie, 28, were naked and running in the street, allegedly breaking the windows of cars parked in the neighborhood.

When police arrived at approximately 1:30 a.m., Jessie apparently ran back into the home he shared with Moore on the 2500 block of Alameda Drive, according to investigators. Moore subsequently emerged from the home, which police said began filling with smoke. He then reportedly placed the barrel of a rifle against an officer’s stomach, police said.

It was then that Moore was shot by officers. Three birds were also found later, beheaded in the backyard.

Maryland Marriage Alliance Speaker Says Gays are 'Worthy of Death: VIDEO

Mma

On Friday, the anti-gay Maryland Marriage Alliance, which is working to oppose Question 6, the ballot measure that would put the state's legislatively-passed marriage equality law into effect, held a "town hall" on marriage.

Good As You's Jeremy Hooper posted video of it earlier today, including this clip, in which a panelist sitting right next to campaign head Derek McCoy says that gays and those who support them are "worthy of death."

"If we don't vote against it (Question 6), then we are approving of these things that are worthy of death!"

Writes Jeremy: "The guy who hysterically laughs at the end of the clip is MD Marriage Alliance head Derek McCoy; guy next to him is Austin Nimocks from the Alliance Defending Freedom; on the other end is professional 'ex-gay' Greg Quinlan)."

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

Clip is taken from this video:

Bear411

A music video from Homer Marrs about the social networking site Bear411.com tries to melodically convey what the "bear" scene is all about. Accurate?
