• I Am Almost Broke By: melpol - Television viewers have their mind on sex. It has become a question of the better bed partner---Obama or McCain? Its not what you say but the way that you say it---youth always says it better. Obama will slip and slide into the #1 bedroom. Call it a landslide if you want to be discreet.

No more nagging about diet and exercise, the city council has given up on taking that route. Now they’re just flat out banning the sale of fast food to its poorer citizens.

• Known by the Company We Keep? - No, says Obama, It's the Economy Stupid By: Rev Michael Bresciani - Obama says the McCain campaign is pointing to the wrong issue by bringing up his association with, racists, haters and domestic bombers. It’s the economy says Barack! Is he asking Americans to suspend the time tested wisdom that we teach our children even to this day, namely that we are known by the company we keep? Apparently he is!

Even worse they also believe that Creationism and Intelligent Design should be taught in public schools in the United States. Believing in Creationism or intelligent design as a science is a sure sign that the person who is a believer is not only ignorant but a borderline illiterate as well as extremely unintelligent.
