		<description>&lt;p&gt;Let me just add that the video of Italia testifying is hilarious, especially when she and McCain argue like a father and his teenage daughter (about 25 minutes into it).  Italia comes across like her activities are no big deal and why is everyone blowing things out of proportion?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Let’s face it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BushCo and all the “culture of corruption” Republican (and one Democrat, Lieberman) co-conspirators have corrupted our entire democratic form of government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And when I say “democratic form of government” I am referring to top-to-bottom, from the federal level, through any state level controlled entirely by Republicans (like Texas) and even down to local politics and institutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The “culture of corruption” Republican Party of today is like a cancer that has metastasized and literally is killing the host, i.e. our democracy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the Republicans responsible for this metastasization aren’t even aware that they are destroying the very future of their own children, especially the cancerous evangelical Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One could almost say that a whole lot of Republicans are suffering from an acute form of collective insanity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;completely OT, and deep in epu land… but i just had to share this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Primary 2008 List&lt;br /&gt;
Democratic Primary Challenges&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the list of 59 Representatives who voted against the McGovern Amendment on 5/10/2007. We invite nominations for anti-war candidates to challenge them in Democratic primaries in 2008. If they change their position to oppose the endless occupation of Iraq, we will cross them off our list. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;click on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.democrats.com/primary-2008-list&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; to read the list!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;If comment #44 next thread up is any indication, there are going to be very interesting times ahead. Hope there are backbones about because mischief and irrationality are rampant in the Whitehouse, OVP. Somebody needs curb the executive fast.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Regarding G8 -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://de.indymedia.org/2007/06/181680.shtml&quot;&gt;overview&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href=&quot;http://portland.indymedia.org/icon/2007/06/360567.jpg&quot;&gt;great pic&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second day of blockades started as the first day had ended - with thousands of people back on the streets, attempting to reach the fence and blocking all gates and routes leading to Heiligendamm. Two blockades had continued throughout the night. While the blockade at the east gate continued on Thursday (and ended on Friday), confrontations occurred at the west gate, with police violently dispersing protesters. However, because of the presence of thousands of activists in the fields around the gate, the access route was effectively blocked for most of the day. People were protesting directly at the fence - police were not able to enforce the ban on all protests in that area. &lt;b&gt;Temporarily, G8 delegates were locked inside Heiligendamm.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;As hundreds of G8 delegates arrived in the area on Wednesday, mass blockades interrupted their arrival at the fenced security zone. Thousands of activists blocked most of the routes leading to the G8 meeting venue in Heiligendamm.&lt;/b&gt; Over 10,000 people blocked the fence gates and ‘breached’ the newly declared no-demonstration zone around the fence. In the evening, police violently dispersed one of the blockades, while others were continuing with several thousand people still on the streets. Other activists were protesting in the streets surrounding the Rostock-Laage airport. Late in the evening, more than 1,000 people on three blockades decided to stay overnight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
