		<description>&lt;p&gt;“Chiquitita Tell me what’s wrong ?You’re in chains by your own sorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
In your own eyes there is no hope for tomorrow…”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love ABBA’s Happy/Sad lyrics–and really enjoy seeing Frida trying to keep her hair from blowing into her face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUCK UP EVERYONE!!!&lt;br /&gt;
INHERENT CONTEMPT&lt;br /&gt;
AND IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH!!!!&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s keep up the pressure…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“……try once more like you did before, sing a new song Chiquitita.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The current situation is worst than a constitutional crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the opposition (Democratic) party cared enough to actually&lt;br /&gt;
DO SOMETHING EFFECTIVE&lt;br /&gt;
it would be a constitutional crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the fourth estate acknowleged that there is actually a problem, there would be a constitutional crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is something else, I don’t know what, maybe a crisis of spirit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;America, go back to your wide-screen TV viewing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No one cares enough to act.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Can’t progressives find a candidate to challenge Pelosi for the Democratic nomination in her district?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike Lieberman, she couldn’t win as an independant in San Francisco, where the people are totally fed up with her inaction on impeachment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any comments, ideas, support for this?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I followed your link to Fernando, I remember it was playing on the radio when I heard that Anwar Sadat had been assassinated.  Anwar fought as a gorilla with Abdul Nasser to free Egypt. I never new if it was a coincidence or if the Dj knew, as I did, Anwar’s history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These past few weeks I have been thinking that Bush is like one of those serial killers who want to be caught and that is why he is tempting Congress to impeach him.  And then I think Dick Cheney is pushing everything because he is having wet dreams every night thinking of his chance to replay his loss when he was with Nixon.&lt;br /&gt;
But John Dean said something that seems more to the point and more frightening because it hints that there is some sort of reasoned intelligence behind what they are doing - not just the idiot W F-ing up again.&lt;br /&gt;
Prof. Dean said that the WH wants congress to issue contempt charges so that they can go to court over it.  Dean says they think they have DOJ and the courts stacked and they will establish a vastly more powerful presidency, and congresses oversight ability greatly reduced for ever.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;…&lt;br /&gt;
SIRIUS satellite radio has 2 political talk channels, for libs &amp; conservatives, respectively:  &lt;b&gt;SIRIUS Liberal&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;SIRIUS Patriot&lt;/b&gt;.  So we’re not patriots?!?Arrrgh!&lt;br /&gt;
…
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sounds to me like they’ve decided the word “Conservative” is now taboo. Time to call ‘em all Conservative Bush Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What is on my mind. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of the above. The country is going to hell in a hand basket and no one seems to notice except the people on the blogs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Constitutional crisis, war without end, possible escalation of war without end, continuing fascination by the public with Vitter diaper fetish instead of Vitter Abramoff connection and radicalism, subprime meltdown, deeeeep recession soon to follow subprime meltdown, hard landing for US economy because of all of the above, falling dollar when I am going to Euroland in a week…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No wonder I have a knot in my shoulder and arm the size of a softball. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh Sicko was fing brilliant. The reaction from rightwing media to even discussing this topic with any sort of honesty is very telling. The people who want to keep the status quo are very afraid of universal healthcare. Very afraid. They should be sheeple with healthcare might just turn into people.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-822282&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Loo Hoo. @ 217&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rayne, how long have you give Pippy Longstocking a chance?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may love her someday too.  If they have children, it’s all your wealth!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh Loo Hoo, she’s as cute as a bug’s ear.  My kids like her, too.  Welcoming her into the family is not a problem at all.  The problem now is whether my stepson, still suffering from PTSD after his tour in Iraq, will be able to get through college while working full-time and trying to manage a long-distance relationship.  Our little ‘Pippi’ has applied for a diversity visa, but who knows if she’ll get it.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the ABBA part?  Hmm…that will take more time than acquiring a taste for &lt;i&gt;akvavit&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
