Cheney in Turkey.

Upside down and all around, corn syrup forms a glassine coat, when the solution forms a small ball upon dropping into the water, the syrup is done.

Something feels hinkey, I just can't shake it.

Or not.

Smiling faces, they don't tell the truth, sometimes.</description>

		<description>I do not know where else to stick this.  We have now reached a total of 4,000 dead soldiers in Iraq.  Here is the link: 

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23771735/

BTW, can someone tell me why the link thingy isn't working for me?  If I could simply write html, I'd do that, but this does not seem to work for me either.</description>

		<description>Time to join forces and focus on McCain.  He is getting free press pass.

http://antiwar.com/radio/2008/…..eenwald-7/

This is a great listen and learn
Scott Horton Interviews Glenn Greenwald
March 20th, 2008

Glenn Greenwald, former constitutional litigator, renowned blogger and author of A Tragic Legacy discusses John McCain’s so-called “misstatement” in trying to foist the neocon talking point that Iran backs al Qaeda in Iraq against U.S. interests there, the major media’s refusal to call him out for it since they love him so very much, the fact that McCain would still have been at least wrong even if he had simply blamed Iran for training “extremists” of any description besides that of the U.S. supported Iraqi government itself, and the recent victory against immunity for the telecoms who conspired with the government to break the law and wiretap Americans without warrants.

MP3 here. (19:35)

Glenn Greenwald was previously a constitutional law and civil rights litigator in New York. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling book How Would a Patriot Act?, a critique of the Bush administration’s use of executive power, released in May 2006. His brand new book is A Tragic Legacy.</description>

		<description>McCain gets free press pass when he makes huge mistakes.  Frightening mistakes.  McCain is attempting to tie up the Israeli lobby vote by allowing Senator "radical" Lieberman to continuously hang over his shoulder and constantly whisper in his ear in regard to foreign policy.  Lieberman has persistently repeated lies about Iraq and Iran (this is one of the people McCain is listening to)  Terrifying

The "cakewalk in Iraq" zealots keep pushing U.S. towards confrontation with Iran.

Go check out what Senator Lindsey Graham had to say about Iran this Sunday.  He appears to be on the "bomb bomb bomb" Iran team.

		<description>I say NObama in 08`

The interesting thing is this.  We have watched voting for a candidate based on race destroy cities already.  Detroit comes to mind.  Is there a point where some common sense knocks a few people upside the head so that they can say "you know maybe this person has the best actual game plan for me."  I'm sick of people who mask their racism in the color of their skin.  Because actually it is the "typical white" person who has fought long and hard with great personal hardship racism here in the US.  If Obama wants to curse America then what does he want to make America?  If all of America were black would that satisfy?  Or like Rwanda will it continue on, features not black enough, this one "too white". It's already happening in Urban schools, apparently Obama is not able to address this issue because he IS this issue.
attending a church that glorifies Hitler and believes  in the eradication of all jews.......ummmmm at least that isn't "typical white" dogma.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;All Americans, Black White, Latino, Asian and Native America, need to wonder why after such a turbulent week as this one for Obama has been, why the cries of Clinton to withdraw are being echoed so loudly by the Obama campaign!&lt;/strong&gt;

Once again, facing severe questions regarding the character and judgement of Obama, an event never seen before in American politics unfolded before our very eyes and echoed within our ears repeatedly on both sides of the political divide! 

Last week, Obama took center stage to speak in a masterfully orchestrated explanation of his 20-year association with Rev Wright!  A speech perfectly timed to derail his opponent’s speech on Iraq!

Many media types are calling it one of the greatest speeches in American politics! 

&lt;strong&gt;BUT was it?&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Could have been,&lt;/strong&gt; if not for the almost 20 year relationship Obama had with Rezko! Every new revelation between Rezko and Obama exposes a tighter bond and a further depth of corruption within their ranks!

Obama’s relationship with Rezko places every single word uttered in that speech of last week in a completely different context! 

To be the person playing the double sword of righteousness and deception does not allow the words the speech projected to be anything more than a grasping at America’s Achilles heel for self-preservation!  

&lt;strong&gt;Could have been,&lt;/strong&gt; if not for Obama’s inaction to the closure of the Maytag plant and the close ties with the Crown family!

&lt;strong&gt;Could have been,&lt;/strong&gt; if not for Obama’s continual lies over various situations from NAFTA to Rev Wright!

&lt;strong&gt;Could have been,&lt;/strong&gt; if not for his campaigns memo of SC on Race Card!

&lt;strong&gt;Could have been,&lt;/strong&gt; if not for allowing Michelle to inject race towards a completely off topic the reality talked of by Bill Clinton!

To allow Obama a free ride by using racial divide as an excuse is worse than condoning Rev Wrights speech on the Sunday following 9/11 while bodies are still being recovered from the fallen buildings along with every other bile sermon Rev Wright made, because it shows that America does not stand for change and advancement, but for allowing a desperate man to cocoon its people into silence just as his wife managed to do to Bill Clinton, by Michelle Obama twisting the context of his words with racially injected statements!

So why the cyies for Clinton to withdraw, because the Obama campaign knows many will not let the reality of Obama go and will keep it clearly and loudly brought forward as it should be, not as Obamabots wish it wouldn't be, because every word Obama utters manages to make him fall from grace more and more and when someone in the Media FINALLY connects all the dots, the name Obama will be history!</description>

		<description>Many many years ago, I remember a host of black comedians, such as Richard Pryor,who were talking about white folks who would cross the street whenever a black man was walking towards them on the same side of the street. Now, mind you, the comedy clubs were filled with white folks who thought this outrageously funny, but trust me on this one....it was true for the most part. Of course, this was after the riots in Watts (1965), Detroit, etc.but Obama pretty much expressed his white grandmother's feelings for the times in which they lived.

As for my vote this year, I'm going to vote for whoever wins the nomination. It's the democratic thing to do. I'm not happy about it but McCain isn't the answer for a country that has been robbed of its life blood--- and, to those of Iraq, et al who's been inflicted with imperial behavior...Norma</description>

		<description>I am a "typical" middle-of-road voter, my votes are based on issues less on the party affiliation. I am a registered Democrat, I voted for Arnold S. for Governor of Californina, since he is more sensible than the out of touch Gray Davis.

I can say this with certainty that if OBAMA was the Democratic nominee, He would loose BIG. NO True American will vote for a candiate whose his closest spiritual advisor for 20 years called for GOD D' America only 1 week after 9/11.

The DNC has a destructive streak, they tend to nominate lefties whose values and believes are not supported by majority of Americans.</description>
