OBAMA ASSASSINATION PLOT STOPPED
Sen. Barack Obama
ATF agents said Monday that they have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people. In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said the duo planned to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee, reports the Associated Press. The skinheads did not reveal the name of the high school, but said they wanted to kill 88 African-Americans, including 14 by beheading. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community, referring to a 14-word phrase attributed to an imprisoned white supremacist: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” and to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. Two “8”s or “H”s stand for “Heil Hitler.” The men also sought to go on a national killing spree after the Tennessee murders, leading up to an assassination of Obama as their final deed, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

LEVI STUBBS SAD FAREWELL
Levi Stubbs, 4 Tops
Hundreds of mourners gathered at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit Monday for the funeral of Four Tops front man Levi Stubbs, the Motown great who died in his sleep Oct. 17 at his Detroit home. He was 72. “He will always be here,” said Smokey Robinson, one of several Motown artists in attendance, according to the Associated Press. “You’re going to turn on the radio and hear him tomorrow. He made his mark on the world. All of the world, you’ll be able to hear Levi Stubbs forever.” Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., also on hand, told mourners: “He made us walk in his shoes, felt what he felt and loved what he loved. He not only sang the song, he was the song.”
JACKSON JR. WOULD BE HUMBLED
Jesse Jackson Jr.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) says he’s ready to take the place of Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate should voters send the Democratic senator to the White House on Nov. 4. The choice, however, is up to Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is in charge of appointing a successor to the state’s U.S. Senate seat if Obama wins the presidential election. “If Senator Obama wins — and I’m optimistic that he will — I indeed would be honored and humbled to succeed him in the U.S. Senate. But, in the end, the decision rests with Gov. Blagojevich, and I’m confident that he’ll make an appointment in the best interest of the state as well as the nation,” Jackson said in a statement. Jackson Jr. is currently the co-chairman of Obama’s presidential campaign. He also came to Obama’s defense when his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, famously suggested doing symbolic bodily harm to him.
