    <description>John McCain, I m so pissed off at you. Not for turning your back on everything you once held dear -- like veteran s rights or campaign finance reform -- just to make polling points. No, your willingness to trade your integrity for popularity isn t what peeves me. It s that screeching harpy you ve plunged into the country s side like a jagged thorn we can t seem to extract.</description>

<description>Winters is a great place to be from. Usually when people say that somewhere is  a great place to be from  it s because they ve moved away and have no intention of ever returning. I don t mean it like that.</description>

<description>All this fuss over Michael Jackson s death. Tributes, weepy interviews, 24-7 coverage, a million dollar, star-studded memorial service. We simply can t dump enough love on him since he died.</description>

I guess we have to stop picking on the Muslim world for oppressing women under the guise of religion when it%27s happening right here in the U.S. The April 7 raid on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) compound in Eldorado, Texas, resulting in 400 children and their mothers being taken into protective custody, revealed a nightmarish world of cruelty and repression that rivals anything the Middle East has to offer.</description>
