I'm finally going to start a weekly news show on the main Radio Nosferatu feed, but for the life of me I can't think of a good name. So I figured I'd ask you lunatics to help me out by coming up with a name for me. Feel free to offer several suggestions (he said foolishly). What I'll do is, a week from this Friday, take all the suggestions and put it to a poll unless a very clear favorite emerges from the pack prior to that time.

Go to it, my freaky fiends.
WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday unexpectedly backed a measure to expand federal hate crime protection to gay people, a measure that House conservatives had blocked for years.

The Senate has passed similar legislation, which also expanded protections for the disabled, several times in recent years but House conservatives had argued that these cases should be dealt with on a local or state level without additional federal intervention.

This time the hate crime measure was attached to a bipartisan bill known as the Children's Safety Act aimed at tightening reporting requirements for child sex offenders. Companion legislation has not yet moved through the Senate, so the ultimate fate of the gay protection provision is uncertain.

Still backers were jubilant.

Those people need to get laid, seriously.
Prepare to melt, folks.
