And from sad past experience with the elections of 2000 and 2004, we have all learned the hard way that corporations like General Electric, Lockheed, Raytheon and Halliburton get to pick the next President. Not us. Ergo. Thus. Here's my conclusion: In 2008, somehow or other, John McCain will get shoved down our throats. John McCain WILL be our next President. He's as good as sitting in the Oval Office right now. And the aforementioned throat-shoving has already begun. American voters have even started to overcome their gag-reflexes already. "McCain is a centrist," they are already starting to chant. "He is a uniter." Now where have we heard that one before? 1 | 2 Stillwater is a freelance writer who hates injustice and corruption in any form but especially injustice and corruption paid for by American taxpayers.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Young Jeezy Crashes Lambo! Budden To Shady? Obama Lkes ...
I was told that Terrence J and Rocsi of BET's “106 & Park: might be replaced. Now, that's what people are saying, but it might be, because a casting call allegedly went out for the show new talent. I'm going on record with this: I like Terrence J & Rocsi and I'm not really interested in seeing new people. Sure, I still love Free, but that's a lost cause. Anyway…as always, we'll see!
On the Free tip, I heard she is also working with Obama on his campaigning BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. Just wanted to clear that up!
YOUNG JEEZY CRASHES LAMBO
Young Jeezy is one of the trap's biggest stars! But, if he doesn't learn to handle that Lambo, he's gonna be trapped behind that wheel! I don't know when this happened, but they are listing Jeezy's white Lamborghini as a fancy car that was demolished.
How zealous do you really need to be about removing ear wax?
If you do need to remove ear wax, don't use Q-Tips or other things that you poke into your ear. "These can really cause problems," said Shapiro, typically by pushing wax deeper into the ear canal, scratching the sides of the ear canal or perforating the ear drum. "You can really wreck your ear" by poking things into it in an attempt to get the wax out, she said. If you insist on cleaning, a relatively harmless approach is to use over-the-counter wax softening drops that help wax fall out on its own, including products containing hydrogen peroxide or Colace (a stool softener), said Dr. Michael Ellis, a clinical professor of otolaryngology at Louisiana State University. You can also make your own solution of half warm water, half peroxide. Or you can soften wax with mineral oil, baby oil, or glycerin, according to the National Institutes of Health website.

Son of Kan. Governor Creates Board Game
TOPEKA, Kan. -- The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled "Don't Drop the Soap," a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design. John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. The governor's spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said both parents "are very proud of their son John's creativity and talent." John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the Web site lists the address of the governor's mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves. The game also goes on sale starting Jan. 31 at a shop called Hobbs in the college town of Lawrence.
Bear hunter talks back -- loudly
The main purpose of requesting to chase at night was because of cooler temperatures for the dogs. It certainly doesn’t make the walking any easier or the pursuit any easier. Remember, this is for pursuit only, no harvesting. No man or beast is going to hunt 24/7. 3. Lengthening the season was a request to be able to kill all the bears in Virginia, according to Walt. Funny that our group treed 23 bears last year and only took four. Doesn’t make much sense to keep dogs and kill all the game you use them for, does it? Wonder why the Virginia Bear Hunters Association spent $10,000 to help the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries with their bear management plan, just to kill all the bears? In 2006, there were 1,633 bears killed in Virginia and only 544 were killed by hound hunters.
U.S. gloom puts central banks on the spot
The group's closely watched weekly index of leading U.S. economic indicators hit a five-year low in late December, nearing levels last seen during the 2001 recession. Achuthan said that while the gauges were not signaling an imminent recession, neither were they pointing to an upturn. Financial markets are also flashing warning signs. The yield spread between U.S. Treasury three-month bills and the eurodollar is the widest since the 1987 stock market crash. Goldman Sachs calls this an elevated sign that the U.S. economy is in, or about to enter, recession. Central bankers endured some harsh criticism and second-guessing last year for being slow to recognize how a web of complex securities linked to failing U.S. subprime mortgages could ensnare banks around the world and lead to a credit crunch.
