		<title>Hillary’s Call for ALL Democrats to Vote for Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hillary Clinton is a much better former candidate for president than she was a candidate for president. 
While listening to last night’s speech, I was convinced for the first time that she really would make a good president, and she really does have strong leadership qualities.
I could not help but think that if she had campaigned [...]]]></description>

		<title>NEWSFLASH  - John McCain is a Rich Man!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He’s so rich that he can’t even keep track of how many houses he and his wife Cindy own.  When asked about it by Poltico.com yesterday, he said:
&#8220;I think — I&#8217;ll have my staff get to you.  It&#8217;s condominiums where — I&#8217;ll have them get to you.&#8221;
He later told Politico that they have at least [...]]]></description>

		<title>Republicans Killing Democrats is so Funny!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this anti-Democrat shirt over on This Modern World.

 
Hilarious isn’t it?
I’ve written many posts about how mean and nasty the Republicans are, but making a joke of using Democrats for target practice?  Pretty sick.
Just this week the chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party was shot and killed by a wacko with a gun, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Republican Schizophrenia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how they&#8217;re not being laughed off the set of every news program they appear on, but what gives the Republicans the power to criticize Barrack Obama for all of the things they felt were so pants-wetteningly exciting about Ronald Reagan? He was a fucking movie actor who could speak well to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Obama&#8217;s Response to McCain&#8217;s Paris - Britney Ad Should Be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been thinking more about that McCain ad that used images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to attack Obama by insinuating that he is an airhead “celebutante.”
After a low blow like that, one should deliver a quick uppercut to the opponent’s chin.  What would be a formidable blow in this political boxing match?   Well [...]]]></description>

Today The Wall Street Journal asked the question, is Barack Obama To Fit to Be President?
I know you are dying to read it, so here are a few excerpts:
Speaking to donors at a San Diego fund-raiser last month, Barack Obama reassured the crowd that [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCain thinks Obama = Britney Spears = Paris Hilton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear John,
I used to like you, but now I think you are a punk-ass bitch. 
Years ago the “maverick” label seemed like it fit.  You used to be against giving huge tax breaks to the rich, but now you want to extend Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy, even though Bush’s plan has added trillions to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oliver Stone&#8217;s latest movie &#8220;W&#8221; will be released to theaters on October 17th 2008, mere weeks before the Presidential Election in Novemeber.
Oliver Stone says:
“We don’t really know much about Mr. Bush beyond the controlled images we’ve been allowed to see on TV. This movie’s taking a bold stab at looking behind that curtain.”
Here is the [...]]]></description>

I get a shiver down my spine when I think about what&#8217;s going on with this full-boar support of all things Israel from the right wing nuts in this country.

		<title>Bush explains that the economy was drunk and now has a hangover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
From the Houston Chronicle:
Unaware he was being recorded, President Bush at a Houston fundraiser last week compared Wall Street to a drunk with a hangover and cracked jokes about the ailing housing market.
&#8220;There&#8217;s no question about it. Wall Street got drunk — that&#8217;s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robert Novak listens to NPR while running over pedestrians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like me, Robert Novak enjoys listening to NPR&#8217;s Morning Edition.  Unlike me, he uses it as his soundtrack to mow down pedestrians in D.C. traffic.
Here is his interview from Politico.com after being detained by the Police:

Apparently, he was driving his black convertible Corvette down K Street in D.C. when he mowed down a pedestrian. [...]]]></description>

		<title>John McCain is making me feel embarrassed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of these two seems presidential. One of them seems senile and ridiculous. Seriously, what's wrong with John McCain? Did he ingest <a href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/zombie1.htm">Tetrodotoxin</a>? If so, where did he get it? Did someone introduce it surreptitiously or was it a conscious choice on the part of the McCain campaign? These questions may never be answered.]]></description>

Read:
Children&#8217;s librarian Judith Flint was getting ready for the monthly book discussion group for 8- and 9-year-olds on &#8220;Love That Dog&#8221; when police showed up.

		<title>Evil Twins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While listening to the radio this morning, I heard somebody talking smack about somebody&#8230;
He has no scruples, no morals, no goal except anarchy, no plan except the end of planning. As Alfred patiently explains, &#8220;Some men aren&#8217;t looking for anything logical, like money. They can&#8217;t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to have Sex in a Car</title>

For those who are new to having sex in a car, this video is for you.

From the folks at Howcast.com.

		<title>What the Right Wingnuts Want You to Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
That’s The New Yorker’s satirical way of showing that when you portray all the crazy Obama smears in one illustration, you get a very ridiculous picture.
The magazine is making fun of the nuts that believe all the crazy stuff about Obama being a Muslim; that he was sworn in as a U.S. Senator on a [...]]]></description>

Our media institutions, deeply embedded in the power structures of society, are not providing the information that we need to make our democracy work. To put it another way, corporate media consolidation is a corrosive social force. It robs people of their voice in public affairs and pollutes the political culture. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terrible President, Extraordinary Con Man</title>

Bush gave a short speech before signing the bill that basically went like this: “FEAR!  FEAR!  FEAR!  I WILL PROTECT YOU!”  But because his [...]]]></description>

		<title>There really is magic in those mushrooms</title>

From Wired magazine:
For the 2006 study, Griffiths recruited 36 people who hadn&#8217;t previously taken the drug. Six were given a ritalin [...]]]></description>

George Carlin died yesterday.  He was a funny man.
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don&#8217;t have as many people who believe it.
Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
The main reason Santa is [...]]]></description>
