			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rush Limbaugh has a loyal and rabid following. Unfortunately, he is successful at being mean spirited, nasty, and repugnant. Here are thirteen<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32912172@N00/3812820275" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/08/27/3812820275930ee67f55_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p>

<h4>&nbsp;things that Rush Limbaugh reminds me of:</h4>
<ol>
<li> He reminds me of a sack of potatoes that has gone rotten.</li>
<li> He reminds me of a grotesque opera singer that only shrills when she sings.</li>
<li> He reminds me of an angry clown with a big red nose.</li>
<li> He reminds me of a meat eating dinosaur who scavanges for food.</li>
<li>&nbsp;He reminds me of a jackass that won&#8217;t move to the left. He&#8217;s always stays to the right.</li>
<li>&nbsp;He reminds me of a big pile of manure. Perhaps he should step in it and see how it feels.</li>
<li>He reminds me of scrooge except that he never redeems himself.</li>
<li> He reminds me of a hippo. Actually, he looks like a hippo. He has a big butt.</li>
<li> He reminds me of colonoscopy. No exclamation is needed.</li>
<li> He reminds me of fungus, tapeworm, and other nasty things.</li>
<li>He reminds me of a rash that keeps on growing.</li>
<li> He reminds me of a volcano that is constantly errupting.</li>
<li> He reminds me of the Giant in Jack in the Beanstalk. He&#8217;s very tyrannical but deep down he&#8217;s a coward.</li>

		<description><![CDATA[Dinosaurs had existed on our planet for millions of years. Although they have long been extinct, they remain an important part of Earth's past. The public has had an enormous fascination over these animals.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Politicians, on the other hand, have not existed quite so long. Are they an endangered species? How long will it take for them to be extinct? They may be here for a while, so here are six types you need to know:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<h3>Palinosaur </p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/14/palinosaurus_2.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
<p>This dinosaur has dagger like teeth and sharp claws. It eats pit bulls for dinner. She strikes at her enemies with sudden quickness and ferociousness.</li>
<li>
<h3>McCainotrops </p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/14/mccainotrops_1.jpg" alt="" /></h3>
<p>With one large horn coming out of his thick head located just above his right eye, this four-legged body dinosaur is strong and sturdy. The McCainotrops is not afraid to fight when threatened. </li>
<li>
<h3>Obamadactyl </p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/14/obamadactyl_1.jpg" alt="" /></h3>
<p>A high-flying dinosaur with enormous wingspan. Capable of swooping down at its victims with tremendous speed. The Obamadactyl makes enchanting sounds during the mating season. </li>
<li>
<h3>Bidaurid</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/14/b_4.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
<p>A duck-billed dinosaur, this friendly plant eater is one of the most sociable of the dinosaur species. It is known to settle disputes with dinosaurs that have territorial problems. </li>
<li>
<h3>Bushosaurus</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/14/bushosaurus_1.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
<p>Blustery and huge, this dinosaur is one of the largest and longest around. It has one of the smallest brains for such a huge body. It eats all day and is extremely vulnerable to attack by its predators.</li>
<li>
<h3>Cheneysaur</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/14/chenasaur_1.jpg" alt="" /></h3>
<p>The most dangerous carnivore in existence. It stands over 40 feet tall and has lethal, hatchet like teeth. Cheneysaur has an enormous head and very strong body. It has a long tail and reduced forelimbs. It is extremely aggressive and is constantly on the attack. </li>
</ol>

		<description><![CDATA[This may not be true but I did find it very funny. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few years ago there were a lot of what became known as &#8216;Bushisms&#8217; floating around the internet and appearing in various email boxes and on websites. I must confess that some of these were often made up and so ridiculous that they ceased to be amusing. At least to me they did.</p>
<p>The following tale is one that I came across while doing some research on another project.  It made me laugh so much that I had to relate it here.</p>
<p>Is it true? Well, probably not, but who knows?</p>
<p>Imagine the scenario: The President is in conference with one of his high ranking advisers.</p>
<p><strong>Mr President:</strong> Tell me, who is the President of China?</p>
<p><strong>Adviser:</strong> Hu is.</p>
<p><strong>Mr President:</strong> That&#8217;s what I asked you. Who is?</p>
<p><strong>Adviser:</strong> Hu is, Mr President.</p>
<p><strong>Aside:</strong>(Hu Jintao is the president of China, but YOU knew that didn&#8217;t you?)</p>
<p><strong>Mr President:</strong> (Becoming exasperated)  Tell me, who is the president of China?</p>
<p>The conversation goes round and round until the Adviser gets sick of it.</p>
<p><strong>Adviser:</strong> Let&#8217;s call Kofi  (Meaning Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General that was)</p>
<p><strong>Mr President: </strong>Great idea, yes, let&#8217;s have coffee.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Musings on Ferraro's "scandalous" statement.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I do not see what the big stink there is about Ferraro&#8217;s statement although it can be taken as racist by those sensitized to the issue. I think that if you live and breath back and white issues in the US, hearing a statement like that can be construed as being out of line.</p>
<p> What of the TV talk programs where black representatives get to speak their views and there is mention by the moderator that they would back Obama because he is black? Couldn&#8217;t that be considered equally out of line? <br />Politics has been a dirty game for centuries, so there is no need to see that this statement as any dirtier than bringing up the race card on a Saturday night show. Not only that but the moderator suggested to the black person that he would not vote Obama because he was black. Well abomination, then! How clearer can the racial issue be in the US, and the moderator has not been charged for racial slurs or indecent suggestions on a national network!</p>
<p>Race aside, America does not look ready if voters are now skewed as mostly black for Obama and white for Clinton. Anybody could have seen that coming in a country where Martin Luther King was assassinated 40 years earlier. </p>
<p>Now the Democrats have some big names behind them like the Kennedy clan and the Terminator has put his weight behind the Republicans who nominee is busy visiting Iraq for the eight times although that is not supposed be a nifty ploy for votes. I am sure that Republicans have made statements that could be seen as equally as intolerant of any minority group outside their white majority. Would Clinton be solving the race issue by eliminating Ferraro for her statement? Not at all. She had the courage to say what was on her mind that many whites in her entourage are only keeping to themselves. I would not have removed her from the campaign committee but would ask her to keep her opinions to herself. Obama is there to represent a united nation and it is clear he is doing so no matter what color he is. Is America far from the efforts to integrate blacks and whites that was the issue while King was alive, with major Democratic candidates using the race and gender cards to swipe at each other? That Obama has succeeded with a larger number of delegates across the United States than Clinton shows great changes from the days where blacks had to sit at the back of buses in southern states. But total acceptance of a potential leader for being a capable leader because of his personal abilities and not his color leads me to think that America still has a long way to go. </p>
