<description><![CDATA[<p>Here at Muppet Labs we are bringing you tommorow today!</p>

<p>To fix our transit problems I have developed a nuclear powered monorail!  And to demostrate how safe and fast this is I am going to have my trusty assistant Beeker pilot this machine on it's first test run!</p>

<p>Beeker? </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Banna</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If kittens have souls, how come they don't go to church?  And even if they did, they'd have to realize that they were put on this earth to serve man, anyway.  It says so in Genesis.  <blockquote><i>Let us make man in our image, and let him have dominion. As he has the government of the inferior creatures, he is, as it were, God's representative, or viceroy, upon earth; they are not capable of fearing and serving God, therefore God has appointed them to fear and serve man."</i></blockquote></p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@13<blockquote>People are strapped for cash so the answer is to raise taxes to bring a single little rail line to open in twelve to twenty years instead of adding bus service now.</blockquote><br />
No, the solution is to begin a comprehensive mass transit plan that encompasses the entire region.  Imagine how much more strapped for cash you'll be when gas it $10 a gallon and you have no option other than driving.    More transit options isn't a burden in the long run.  </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Must have been a shit ton of gay rights parades, s&m fests, lesbian muslims for interracial adoptions fundraisers, pro-Palestinian immigration rallies and Judas Priest memorabiliathons in the Midwest last week. </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@12 - kittens give ten percent of all their money to the church, and purr.</p>

<p>Methinks that's more than most of the self-avowed Christians do.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by PC</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>you can win without any particular permutation of states duh.</p>

<p>But what Obama campaign is saying isn't we will foregore OH and FL, it's we will fight like hell in other states, too.</p>

<p>So the headline is a bit misleading.</p>

<p>And after you win you want senate and congressional votes from OH ane FL too -- a little task called governing......so best approach is a 50 state strategy with focus on OH MI FL and yes VA NM CO NV and yes MI SC LA GA NC but in the latter case I'd really like to see the math pencil it out how we'd be in play or not if black turnout and registraiton increased by say, 30%.</p>]]></description>
