Hookhand Monster Leading In Polls

Steve Novick, brickbat's favorite gnome-with-one-hand candidate, holds a lead going into May 20th's Oregon Senatorial primary:

With just over six weeks to go until votes are counted in Oregon's May 20 primary, U.S. Senate Democratic hopeful Jeff Merkley appears to be trailing rival Steve Novick in the race to challenge Republican incumbent Gordon Smith next fall.

A poll conducted Monday exclusively for KATU by SurveyUSA gave Novick a double-digit lead over Merkley, with 23 percent of the 597 likely voters surveyed saying they planned to vote for him. Merkley came in third in the automated poll, with 11 percent of voters, a statistical tie with Eugene anti-war activist Candy Neville, who was supported by 12 percent of voters in the poll.

Forty percent of voters in the poll, which had a margin of error of 4.1 percent, said they were still undecided.



So take that, Mr. "I have both my hands and I don't go home on the Yellow Brick Road" Merkley. Word is, if you lose an election to a gnome, you become a gnome yourself.

I thought I smelled cabbage

Below is really creepy video caught on a cell phone of what appears to be a gnome walking sideways at night.

From The Sun:

A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.

The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.

..."Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones.

"We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid."

Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome.

He said: “This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now.



Atleast we know what Kucinich has been up to lately.
