It starts slow but Huck rocks out before
the tube is over.

Bill Clinton's book on how to give money to foreigners is offensive when US families are losing their homes and Senator Clinton and Senator Obama are doing nothing to keep them from becoming homeless. In the USA we just accept homelessness now, no European country does that. No one cares about the poor in this country.

Grammy my ass.

AP October 2007 - The US Senate's resolution to decentralize the Iraqi federal government and empower ethnically divided regions has been approved.

The Senate adopted a resolution Wednesday urging the Iraqis to decentralize their federal government and hand more control to the ethnically divided regions dominated by the Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis.

The 75-23 vote on the resolution offered by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden, D-Del., has no binding effect on the Bush administration or the Iraqi government.

But Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, a leading Republican supporter of the measure, said the bipartisan vote should send a signal to the Iraqi government and the White House, which have opposed the Biden resolution.

Under the semi-autonomous enclaves plan, Iraq's federal government would retain responsibility for foreign policy, distribution of national oil revenues and the defense of the country's borders. However, critics question how ethnically-diverse Baghdad could be divided and argue that separate enclaves would further destabilize Iraq.

A number of prominent senators and presidential candidates, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Republican co-sponsor Sam Brownback supported Biden's idea in today's vote. McCain and Democratic Sen. Barack Obama dismissed the partition plan and didn't vote, while 75 other Senators, both Republican and Democrat supported the Biden Bill.

So far Joe Biden is the only Candidate running for President who has proposed legistlation and an actual solution for getting us out of Iraq. His bill was supported by 75 Senators and this article was international news.

He has also been pressuring George W Bush and Cheney with impeachment if they even do anything to take military action against Iran - publically since August of 2007. Thank God for Joe Biden continuing to support the American People and work in action for peace and ending war and avoiding war.

It's interesting that it's only Dems who've authored material that's of high enough quality to be nominated for things like Grammys, as well as it's only Dems being nominated for things like --- The Nobel Peace Prize.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. Has a nice ring to it to me. I don't want to anger anyone reading this -- Obama may not be their preferred candidate, and in saying that, my thought to follow may be bothersome -- but it something just occured to me: I can't help but notice that in a sense Obama would be the perfect sucessor following our last Dem. president, B. Clinton. What I mean by that ...

I think he, as an African American, would be quite the natural progression for our next Dem president ... as Carter, followed by Clinton, were very progressive re: African-Americans and minorities equality. It seems very fitting, and a real testimont to Clinton to Carter, and how far our country has come in healing the old, nasty wounds of our shameful past (slavery).

Hollywood liberals love their awards.
They love patting themselves on the back.
"oh we're sooooooooo wonderful"

I hear Obama does a spoken word rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama. With backing vocals by Bananarama. And MC Hamma. Thank you for reading my weak ass comment.

You know when it comes down to it; I love all three of them. Obama, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter. God it feels good thinking about this trio. If I could have them running the country, I could relax more. It is going to take something like this just to salvage this mess. Let's Call a victory tommorow, and I and the world will rejoice. You will hear a solid synchronized roar. (all at one time)

Oh PULEEZ.

At least we can be thankful that the awards are AFTER IOWA, NH, SC, and SuperDuper Tuesday, so that we don't have to worry that the Grammy outcome will affect the early primary results (which they undoubtedly and ashamedly probably would, given the time the pundits would spend on it)
