            <title>John McCain Hates &quot;The Bloggers&quot;...</title>
            <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/cnrward/Misc%20Blog%20Pics/john-mccain2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;p&gt; I would venture to ask Sen. McCain what is it about &amp;quot;the bloggers&amp;quot; that he hates so much. Is it because we &amp;quot;bloggers&amp;quot; cast a light of truth over his scattered and incoherent message for America? &amp;nbsp;I&#039;d love to know the answer to that one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And oh yeah, John McCain also hates &amp;quot;the cables&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Sen. McCain probably hates &amp;quot;the Google&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;the Youtube&amp;quot; too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wset9i4b0b4&amp;amp;eurl=http://www.crooksandliars.com/&quot;&gt;John McCain hates &amp;quot;the bloggers&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Why Isn&#039;t John McCain&#039;s Military Record Fair Game?</title>
            <description>Retired Gen. Wesley Clark spoke out again on the fact that John McCain&#039;s military service, although honorable, does not qualify him to be president.  And herein is where all the outrage began.  The right wing feigned massive outrage at the comments and journalists collectively hissed and gasped at Gen. Clark for even suggesting such a thing.  Sen. Obama himself even distanced himself from the comments that Gen. Clark made earlier in his patriotism speech. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;But my question is this. &amp;nbsp;Why isn&#039;t Sen. McCain&#039;s military record fair game if that&#039;s what he&#039;s basing his campain squarely on? &amp;nbsp;Why can&#039;t the American people question his military record? &amp;nbsp;Why can John McCain, along with John McCain&#039;s campaign, and anyone who is fully backing John McCain speak on his military record, but the second someone decides to question that same record or shines a light of truth on John McCain&#039;s actual military service (thank you Gen. Wesley Clark), it&#039;s a problem. &amp;nbsp;A BIG one. &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And while all this commotion is going on, Sen. McCain continues to hide a large chunk of his military record, so we still don&#039;t know the whole story. &amp;nbsp;So is this how they are gonna run his campaign? &amp;nbsp;Feigning outrage, whenever John McCain&#039;s military record is questioned? &amp;nbsp;Accusing the people who do so of &amp;quot;attacking&amp;quot; an American war hero? &amp;nbsp;This reeks of dishonest practice and shadyness, for lack of a better term, on the part of the entire McCain campaign on the very &amp;quot;military service&amp;quot; that they&#039;re running on. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I don&#039;t know about anyone else, but this &amp;quot;don&#039;t even THINK ABOUT questioning John McCain&#039;s military service&amp;quot; business is becoming MAD SUSPECT to me. &amp;nbsp;If John McCain is gonna run on that platform, then he and his campaign need to be more forthcoming about it. &amp;nbsp;The fact that people can&#039;t question it makes it look like they have something to hide. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Gen. Wesley Clark should be commended for speaking the truth.&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>Barack Covers Rolling Stone Magazine for the 2nd Time.</title>
            <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/cnrward/Random%20Celeb%20pics/4561cfd3-9b6e-4f0d-94db-dad22c1ec0a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Source: The Huffington Post&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;WASHINGTON &amp;mdash; Bob Dylan. Yo-Yo Ma. Sheryl Crow. Jay-Z. These aren&#039;t musical acts in a summer concert series: They&#039;re artists featured on Barack Obama&#039;s iPod.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I have pretty eclectic tastes,&amp;quot; the Democratic presidential contender said in an interview to be published in Friday&#039;s issue of Rolling Stone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Growing up in the &#039;70s, Obama said, he listened to the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Earth, Wind &amp;amp; Fire. Stevie Wonder is his musical hero from the era. The Stones&#039; &amp;quot;Gimme Shelter&amp;quot; tops his favorites from the band.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Illinois senator&#039;s playlist contains these musicians, along with about 30 songs from Dylan and the singer&#039;s &amp;quot;Blood on the Tracks&amp;quot; album. Jazz legends Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Charlie Parker are also in the mix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Actually, one of my favorites during the political season is &#039;Maggie&#039;s Farm,&#039;&amp;quot; Obama said of one of Dylan&#039;s tracks. &amp;quot;It speaks to me as I listen to some of the political rhetoric.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the song, Dylan sings about trying be himself, &amp;quot;but everybody wants you to be just like them.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several musicians on Obama&#039;s iPod support his bid for the White House, including Bruce Springsteen. Earlier this month, Dylan told a British newspaper that he believes Obama is redefining politics in the United States and could deliver change to a nation in upheaval.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I&#039;ve got to say, having both Dylan and Bruce Springsteen say kind words about you is pretty remarkable,&amp;quot; Obama said. &amp;quot;Those guys are icons.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama said he hasn&#039;t met Springsteen, but the two have talked over the phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Not only do I love Bruce&#039;s music, but I just love him as a person,&amp;quot; Obama said. &amp;quot;He is a guy who has never lost track of his roots, who knows who he is, who has never put on a front.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And did he address him as the Boss?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;You&#039;ve got to,&amp;quot; the candidate said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asked what he thought of rap, Obama said the genre has broken down barriers within the music world, though he&#039;s concerned about his daughters _ Malia, 9, and Sasha, 7 _ listening to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I am troubled sometimes by the misogyny and materialism of a lot of rap lyrics,&amp;quot; he said, &amp;quot;but I think the genius of the art form has shifted the culture and helped to desegregate music.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and rappers Jay-Z and Ludacris were &amp;quot;great talents and great businessmen.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama appears on the cover of the magazine, which endorsed him for president in March.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The dress will be available again in August:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like Jacqueline Kennedy a generation ago, Michelle Obama is causing a fashion sensation even before the&amp;nbsp;election.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this time it&amp;rsquo;s a metaphorical fashion statement made by her choice of a $148 black and white print dress carrying a label called White House/Black Market to wear on the popular&amp;nbsp;TV&amp;nbsp;show, &amp;ldquo;The&amp;nbsp;View.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The search is on among would-be fashionistas as well as savvy statement-makers for the sleeveless black and white tank dress that Michelle Obama wore onABC&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;The View&amp;rdquo; this week. Purchased from a retailer called &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/home.jsp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;White House/Black Market&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;rdquo; the very affordable $148 dress has unleashed a mad scramble on both the store and the website of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donnaricco.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Donna Ricco&lt;/a&gt;, the&amp;nbsp;NYC-based designer of the dress. According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2008/06/19/2008-06-19_mad_rush_for_148_dress_michelle_obama_wo.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The New York Daily News&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, thousands of orders for the frock have poured into&amp;nbsp;both.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The White House/Black Market website this morning features what they&amp;rsquo;re calling their &amp;ldquo;Road to the White House&amp;rdquo; dress on their homepage. One hundred percent cotton, wash &amp;lsquo;n wear. Sold out, but available in&amp;nbsp;mid-August.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, we know Michelle Obama is a full-fledged, Harvard-educated Woman of Substance. But now we also know she can use fashion in a way that disarms, makes subtle statements and even shows off upper arms to die&amp;nbsp;for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;White House/Black Market? It just says it&amp;nbsp;all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Mike Huckabee to Republicans: Lay Off Obama..</title>
            <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/cnrward/Misc%20Blog%20Pics/CPSMTH35180608083004photo00photo.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Source: Brietbart.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hopefully, Republicans will take heed...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Former US presidential contender Mike Huckabee urged his fellow Republicans on Wednesday not to denigrate&amp;nbsp;Democrat Barack Obama,&amp;nbsp;saying they should celebrate the historic moment of a black candidate.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Republicans will make a fundamental if not fatal mistake if they seek to win the election by demonising&amp;nbsp;Barack Obama,&amp;quot; Huckabee told a news conference on a visit to Tokyo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former Arkansas governor said that, having grown up in the segregated South, he never thought he would see an African-American win the nomination of a major party for the&amp;nbsp;US presidency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I do not want to have anyone misrepresent or miss the opportunity to celebrate what I think is a landmark achievement, not just for Barack Obama, but for the United States of America,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The country was able &amp;quot;to get to a point where we did not see his colour but we truly saw his charisma, his message and what he brought to the&amp;nbsp;campaign trail,&amp;quot; Huckabee said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Huckabee, who won the first nomination contest in Iowa on the back of support from evangelical Christians, said he hoped Republican John McCain would defeat Obama but urged his party to highlight policy differences and not race.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Huckabee said the troubled US economy would be the top campaign issue and doubted that Obama&#039;s race would come into play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;When people are really hurting -- and they are right now -- they&#039;re not looking at a person&#039;s race,&amp;quot; he said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Gen. Wesley Clarke&#039;s Views on John McCain...</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;A true eye-opener, or it should be (for McCain supporters). General Wesley Clarke, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awesclarkdemocrat.com/2008/06/wesley_clark_endorses_obama_fo.htm&quot;&gt;who endorsed Sen. Obama for President,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said this morning on MSNBC&#039;s &amp;quot;Morning Joe&amp;quot; that on national security terms, Sen. John McCain is largely &amp;quot;untested&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;untried&amp;quot;. General Clarke went on to say that &amp;quot;John McCain has never been responsible for policy formulation and has never had leadership in a crisis&amp;quot;, but wait! There&#039;s more! &amp;nbsp;Gen. Clarke also said about John McCain, that his weakness is that he&#039;s always been for the use of &amp;quot;force, force and more force&amp;quot; when the use of force should always be reserved as a last resort type effort. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5bYzL2y7xQ&quot;&gt;(Click to see the video)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me tell you something. &amp;nbsp;I&#039;m not shocked and surprised by any of this. John McCain is ALL TALK. &amp;nbsp;Period. There&#039;s a huge article on The Huffington Post that states big gaps in John McCain&#039;s military record. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-klein/mccains-secret-questionab_b_107409.html&quot;&gt;(You can read it here)&lt;/a&gt;. Look, I&#039;m not trying to take away anything from Sen. McCain&#039;s military service to this country. &amp;nbsp;I&#039;m well aware of the fact that he was tortured for 5 years in Vietnam and he lived to tell about it. All I&#039;m saying is stop with all the embellishing of your record and your service, and your supposed &amp;quot;foreign policy experience&amp;quot; if you can&#039;t back it up Sen. McCain. &amp;nbsp;In other words, STOP LYING. People see straight through that. I know I do. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We need a REAL LEADER this coming election. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Barack Obama in &#039;08!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
