		<description>It seems to me that McCain&#039;s strategy against Obama will be similar to Hillary&#039;s strategy, except that McCain doesn&#039;t have to try to win liberals, so he will not be as careful about seeming color-aroused and color-arousing.  And because he will go about it much more intentionally and slyly, McCain may be more effective at doing it subtly, as with his Paris Hilton ad, whose only logic is to place Obama in the same ad with young white women.</description>

		<description>From the CarpetBaggerReport:  &quot;Since When Do Republicans Oppose Routine Auto Maintenance?&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;O.K. So I read it and I&#039;m still aghast!!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/116411.html&quot;&gt;www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/116411.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From a SHORT PART of  a long economic stump speech, by Mr. Obama,  the only thing that &quot;MCANCIENT&quot; could comprehend and, therefore, call into question and  into a SERIOUS DEBATE - of NATIONAL PROPORTIONS was the following:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mr. Obama&#039;s Statement:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Barack Obama reminded an audience yesterday that American consumers can save money and improve fuel efficiency by keeping their tires inflated and getting regular tune-ups.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In his infinite WISDOM [NOT!], &quot;mcancient&quot; turns this brief statement into a MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;MCANCIENT&#039;S&quot; Response:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Obama suggests we put air in our tires to save on gas.&quot;  &quot;My friends, let&#039;s do that, but do you think that&#039;s enough to break our dependence on Middle Eastern oil?  &quot;I don&#039;t think so&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;mcancient!&quot;  &quot;mcancient!&quot;, she says pounding her head on her desk!  It wasn&#039;t suppose to be a CURE to the problem that Shrub helped create!!!  It wasn&#039;t the major point of his speech.  Please join those of us who are RATIONALE!  Start reading at a HIGHER LEVEL!!!  HOOKED ON PHONICS does work!!!  :&gt;)  :&gt;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The article&#039;s last line was - PRICELESS:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I&#039;m sure there are some grown-up Republicans left.  If they want to step up and help their party appear LESS RIDICULOUS, I&#039;m sure the nation would be awful grateful right about now.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Whew!  Exhausted Deep breaths!!  :&gt;)  :&gt;)</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the CarpetBaggerReport:  &#8220;Since When Do Republicans Oppose Routine Auto Maintenance?&#8221;</p>
<p>O.K. So I read it and I&#39;m still aghast!!  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/116411.html">http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/116411.html</a></p>
<p>From a SHORT PART of  a long economic stump speech, by Mr. Obama,  the only thing that &#8220;MCANCIENT&#8221; could comprehend and, therefore, call into question and  into a SERIOUS DEBATE &#8211; of NATIONAL PROPORTIONS was the following:</p>
<p>Mr. Obama&#39;s Statement:</p>
<p>&#8220;Barack Obama reminded an audience yesterday that American consumers can save money and improve fuel efficiency by keeping their tires inflated and getting regular tune-ups.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his infinite WISDOM [NOT!], &#8220;mcancient&#8221; turns this brief statement into a MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE!!</p>
<p>&#8220;MCANCIENT&#39;S&#8221; Response:</p>
<p>&#8220;Obama suggests we put air in our tires to save on gas.&#8221;  &#8220;My friends, let&#39;s do that, but do you think that&#39;s enough to break our dependence on Middle Eastern oil?  &#8220;I don&#39;t think so&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;mcancient!&#8221;  &#8220;mcancient!&#8221;, she says pounding her head on her desk!  It wasn&#39;t suppose to be a CURE to the problem that Shrub helped create!!!  It wasn&#39;t the major point of his speech.  Please join those of us who are RATIONALE!  Start reading at a HIGHER LEVEL!!!  HOOKED ON PHONICS does work!!!  :&gt;)  :&gt;)</p>
<p>The article&#39;s last line was &#8211; PRICELESS:</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#39;m sure there are some grown-up Republicans left.  If they want to step up and help their party appear LESS RIDICULOUS, I&#39;m sure the nation would be awful grateful right about now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whew!  Exhausted Deep breaths!!  :&gt;)  :&gt;)</p>

		<description>I am so glad Michelle Bernard finally got a relaxer the top of her head.  For a while that bone strait weave on the bottom,  near fro on the top was looking kinda rough.  And she is not someone who should look rough.</description>
