Today is the first day of November, on which the Catholic Church celebrates All Saint's Day. The previous evening was thus called All Hallows Eve, the name later being shortened to "Halloween". Here are some things going on as our sugar buzzes (from last night's candy) wear off:
From Fox News, in some sad news from last night, an out-of-control car hits trick-or-treaters in New York, killing 3 and injuring 4.
From The Express Tribune, a NYPD officer spent four year undercover as a Muslim, during which she helped uncover an alleged conspiracy to make a bomb.
From The Sydney Morning Herald, a Muslim group in Australia says that Muslim children should not have to sing the country's national anthem.
From Udaipur Kiran, a model in India Tweets about her relationship with a cricket player and draws a fatwa.
In American Thinker, Lloyd Marcus tells of a relative whose 52 children and grandchildren raised on welfare without their fathers. (Full disclosure: I have seen Mr. Marcus, a talented singer, perform a few times, and talked to him after a Tea Party rally in 2010.)
From The Blaze, the Palestinian Authority honors slain stabbing assailants as national heroes, which understandably upsets Israel.
From CBN News, in what appears to be a reversal from attitudes, several LGBT-owned business have supported the right of a Christian printer not to produce customized "gay pride" T-shirts. (via One News Now)
From Zero Hedge, the 16 times in which President Obama promised that there would be "no boots on the ground" in Syria.
From News Busters, Dan Rather blames the GOP for problems with the most recent candidate's debate.
From ABC News, the aforementioned GOP is now considering changes to the debate setup.
From Tech Crunch, the co-founder of AngelPad discusses the company's "disproportionate success with Euro founders".
From The Jerusalem Post, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu calls his party's win in today's election a "victory for democracy".
From WUIS, a search team believes they have found the wreckage of the El Faro.
From Sports Illustrated, a game-ending kickoff return by the Miami Hurricanes, involving no less than 8 laterals, which enabled them to defeat the Duke Blue Devils, also results in suspensions - for the officiating crew.
From the New York Post, "Marlins Man" continues to show up at baseball games, including the current World Series.
I have one more item to pass on, but it's something that I must present in its own separate post. Stay tuned.
