This Is What The Clintons Destroyed Among Other Things.

Notes reveal a hidden world where the two leading political protagonists in America were willing to put aside their partisan differences in a genuine effort to achieve meaningful Social Security reform. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton, the story of their unlikely alliance, and its tragic unraveling, has never been told. Until now.

Snotty Nosed White Boy And Just What Is Playing In Barack Obama's iPod?

Obama really is a Jay-Z fan, too. When asked which hip hop artists he likes in a recent interview, he said, "lately I've been listening to a lot of Jay-Z -- this new American Gangster album." But he also stressed his opposition to the degrading and materialistic themes that run through too many hip hop albums:

I love the art of hip hop. I don't always love the message of hip hop. There are times when even ... with the artists I named -- the artists I love, you know -- there's a message that is not only sometimes degrading to women; not only uses the n-word a little too frequently; but also something I'm really concerned about, it's always talking about material things. Always talking about how I can get something. How I've got more money...

k.b.: This Mio Heart Rate Monitor is strapless and works with the pulse in your index (pointer finger) and middle finger. Place them on the two silver ovals and you get a reading. I'm also starting week three of a twelve week walking program. I incline my treadmill to 6% (not flat) and start with a speed of 2.6 mph.

Bob Greene, Oprah Winfrey's long time trainer said that you have to exercise to lose weight. Shorter bouts of a more challenging workout can cut duration of the exercise time. If you go up on the incline on the treadmill at the same speed you can increase your workout intensity. Bob Greene said that it could be different if you have high blood pressure or medical problems, so you should always check with your doctor before changing or beginning any workouts.

Generals Of Pentagon Propaganda

To the public, these men are members of a familiar fraternity, presented tens of thousands of times on television and radio as “military analysts” whose long service has equipped them to give authoritative and unfettered judgments about the most pressing issues of the post-Sept. 11 world.

Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found. DAVID BARSTOW

Iva Ikuko Toguri(July 4, 1916 – September 26, 2006), a first generation Japanese-American ("Nisei") was forced to broadcast propaganda for Japan during World War II, after her native U.S. abandoned her there mere days before the Pearl Harbor attack, and despite her continual efforts throughout the war to return home. “Tokyo Rose” is a name that American GIs invented during WWII to refer to a handful Japanese female voices broadcasting on Japanese radio.

Senator Obama When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?

Clinton's McCarthyism (and my Brother Bill Ayers)
by Rick Ayers
Obama needed to call this tactic for what it is: McCarthyism. This is the most base version of McCarthyism: Did you know this communist? When were you last with this communist? Did you denounce this communist? When did you stop beating your wife?

This desperate strategy marks the kind of Republican tactics of the Clinton camp. We always knew Bill Clinton was the architect of the Democratic Party move into a Republican stance on policy. Now these so-called centrist Democrats are imitating the take-no-prisoners tactics of the Karl Roves of the far right.

No More Whining, Complaining Or Colored Wrist Bands

k.b.: When Lance Armstrong starting using the Live Strong wrist band to raise awareness and money for cancer I thought that was a super idea. I bought several and still wear one today. When the olive green one came out to support the troops I said "even though they copied Armstrong's idea it is a good cause and we should all show our support." Pink breast cancer well.....Blue The Humane Society....Red.....etc. etc. Now it's getting outrageous.

It's 1967 All Over Again

k.b.: It's 1967, I'm ten years old and my Mom is in the kitchen preparing dinner first by draining the white beans she had soaking in the sink then she'll add bacon and ketchup. Mom, where's that recipe?

By Heather Havrilesky April 18, 2008
Lately I've been buying beans. Not canned beans, mind you: Dry beans. Bags of dry beans that only cost 65 cents, beans that have to be soaked overnight, beans that you have to sort very carefully to make sure there aren't any chunks of gravel in there. This is my response to an impending recession, my move to scale back and batten down the hatches for the coming economic storm.
