Everyone's favorite Bill Hader cultural correspondent was back last night to talk about the hottest Halloween parties. When Stefon laughs at his own joke, the world laughs with him.
A shooting at Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin has been described as a “mass casualty” situation. Update: At least three people are dead, and the suspected shooter, Radcliffe Haughton, has been found, dead from what police believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Brookfield police have confirmed that multiple people have been shot near Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin, but there are no details yet about the location or status of the shooter. Multiple ambulances are at the scene and police are grouped in front of the Azana salon near the mall, where victims were seen emerging with gunshot wounds.
The police scanner indicates that the shooter may have been dressed in military fatigues and may have already fled from the scene in a black Mazda, but those details are unconfirmed.
Christopher Pfeiffer, 47, of Brookfield, said he pulled into the Barnes & Noble parking lot at the square and saw a young girl running. "She was screaming, yelling, crying hysterical. She was pleading for help. She kept saying, 'My mother was shot.' And she mentioned that there was a gunman. She ran into the bookstore and I followed her. But I watched her from afar."
CNN reports that hospital spokeswoman Nalissa Wienke says all four people in the emergency room appear to have non-critical injuries. She could not say whether the injuries were due to gunshots. Reportedly, another three victims are on their way to the hospital.
Brookfield is located 30 miles of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, where a shooting at a Sikh temple happened two months ago.

As your parents used to tell you, only boring people get bored.
- A flashlight or two.
- Batteries.
- Candles.
- Battery powered radio and/or a fully charged iPod.
- Water and non-perishable food so you don't die.
- Condoms.
- If you're anticipating a power outage, invite over your friends and neighbors. Groups = more fun, less panic.
- Having a cat to snuggle with is optional, but desirable.
Also, invite all of your friends who don't have fireplaces over if you're anticipating a power outage, otherwise you're a selfish jerk. Once there is fire, you can:
- roast marshmallows, hot dogs, your cold little toes and hands
- tell ghost stories
- see what happens when you throw various household objects into the fire*
* don't actually do this.

It's probably by either David Foster Wallace, Thomas Pynchon, or Don Delillo. Dudes are intimidating, I know, and you'll probably spend the first 50-200 pages hating it, them, me, and the English language. But once you get past the hump? Time will fly. Really!
Read this story by cartoonist Phil McAndrew for inspiration. Everyone drew pictures when they were little, so why did you ever stop? This is a great time to start again, and the darkness might actually help loosen your inhibitions. Try drawing a map of the street you grew up on, outfits you wish you knew where to find / how to make, favorite characters, scary monsters, or adorable animals.

“This isn’t the politically correct thing to say, but…”

Rep. Bartlett, 86, is the second-oldest member of the House of Representatives and is a founding member of the Tea Party Caucus. He has been serving Maryland's 6th congressional district since 1993, but he is on shaky ground this election since his district has been redrawn.
The Washington Post reports that despite his newfound Democratic constituents, Rep. Bartlett is is still willing to speak his mind – in front of reporters. "This isn’t the politically correct thing to say, but when we drove the mother out of the home into the workplace and replaced her with the television set, that was not a good thing," said Rep. Bartlett, speaking at a campaign stop with the owner of the Winkler Automotive Service Center.
Just last month, Bartlett apologized after comparing student loans to the holocaust.
