It was Elizabeth Warren’s night. We could have seen that much coming — polls from before the debate showed that a plurality of voters expected Warren to have the best performance on Tuesday night — but the way in which she commanded the stage, both on purpose and by the attacks others levied against her, showed just how much this Democratic primary has evolved since September.

This week on G:R NEWS, Greg Ballard reports on the less then satisfying public statement by Blizzard President J. Allen Brack in response to the very public backlash stemming from Ng “BLITZCHUNG” Wei Chung’s suspension due to making Pro-Hong Kong political statements live on stream during a post-tourney interview! Also we talk about DC’s “JOKER”, and how a movie/character study about how the man became the clown, is absolutely killing it at the box office and setting a new October opening record! Allan Giberti
Sunny Day Sweepin' the clouds away… On my way to where the air is sweet… Even now when I hear the opening notes, the familiar happy beat of the theme song brings back happy, silly memories of the children’s educational show, Sesame Street. Just about everyone has fond childhood memories of watching the Muppets, their human neighbors and the silliness that always ensued and along the way we learned the alphabet, how to count, and issues like telling the truth and being good.

Not long ago, well within this generation's memory, Halloween had been reduced from a sacred ceremony, celebrated by our pagan ancestors, to a few doomed pumpkins on front porches, and a small number of sad-looking kids in Little Mermaid and Darth Vader costumes wandering around the neighborhoods looking for candy. Now, two decades later, Halloween has become both big business and a time for Satanic ritual sacrifice, a holiday celebrated with horror festivals, haunted houses and hayrides, and a creative resurgence for Alice Cooper.
