<description>Just Do It: Evicted from homes near Tiananmen Square to make way for Nike store, twenty residents stage protest, get taken to unknown location. Stoking the Bradley Effect: WSJ provokes doubt over Obama’s electability. Right Foot: Another shoed foot—believed to be human—washes up in Clallam County, 14 miles south of Canada. Left Foot: Obama asks for full count of Michigan and Florida delegate votes. Lower Half: Poor favoring Obama—even hardworking, white voters prefer him by 10 percent. Upper Crust: Kathy Hilton thinks knocking Paris was a waste of McCain’s money. India: Stampede kills over 145, mostly women and children, after...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>1. Ok Obama just gave his energy independence/economic speech in Michigan.</p>

<p>Pretty good.  Kind of wonky with lists and figures and stuff, not so much the soaring rhetoric.  I liked it that he attacked McCain and oil companies.  A b-, sort of a lower than average grade for him, but he's moving to talk on the economy.</p>

<p>2. Re: seating MI FL: why now instead of earlier when it would have been principled.  When it would have helped him more instead of dissing FL and MI.  By changing now he's so obviously purely driven by tactical advantage, he has squandered the bump he couldn't gotten and abandoned all the prior devotion to the "principle" of "well the rules must be followed."</p>

<p>3. Re: 10 points ahead among wwc isn't that great.  1/6 of them are undecided and there's that effect noted in #3 below, too.  </p>

<p>Should be way more. </p>

<p>4. Re: WSJ Bradley effect: moan about the ignorarance or racism of the electorate all you want, that doesn't particularly help win them over, does it? </p>

<p>What does?</p>

<p>-see  #1 above.<br />
-see prior advice to seat FL MI.  Oh well better late than never I guess. <br />
--pick the VP choice that actually bumps him up in the polls, and is the strongest potential pres.  Duh.  Get over the vanity and snobbiness factor and desire to diss someone just cuz that person ran against you.  Don't be like Dole or Carter who couldn't put rivals on their team and who lost.  Be like Kennedy, who won.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Assuming you are making a play on words with Christina Applegate's name, it should be Melongate. When spelled with two "L"s, it refers to the east cost family currently best known for their right-wing politics (Google Richard Scaife Mellon if you need more info).</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The loonie is down 3%? <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=CADUSD=X#symbol=CADUSD=X;range=1y" rel="nofollow">Huh?</a></p>

<p>Oh. They mean since January 1st, 2008, while the loonie was still <i>correcting</i> from it's spike in November. </p>

<p>Do American forex brokers get off on baselessly bashing Canadian currency or something? Or is this a pipe dream back to the days of 15-20% USD acceptance rates?</p>

<p>Canada's financial experts <a href="http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20080708/oil_dollar_080708/20080708/?hub=TorontoNewHome" rel="nofollow">have a much different viewpoint</a>.</p>]]></description>
