			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not really a big surprise, I would not exactly call Bush grounded in &#8220;reality&#8221;.&nbsp; Here is a <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8V1N0N80&amp;show_article=1">link to the AP story</a>.&nbsp; I am particularly amused by the following statement from the article:</p>
<p><span class="lingo_region">
</p>
<blockquote><p> He said Republicans still offer the bedrock positions that voters embrace: strong defense, low taxes and <b>personal freedoms</b>.<br />
&#8220;When I say I&#8217;m confident, I am so because I understand the mentality<br />
of the American people,&#8221; Bush said. &#8220;And I understand the mentality of<br />
our candidates. And there&#8217;s no question in my mind, with your help,<br />
2008 is going to be a great year.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p></span><br />What a Lunatic! He spent the last couple weeks demanding that the NSA be allowed to monitor all our domestic communications and that Telecom&#8217;s be given immunity for their illegal wiretapping, and then he stands on his soapbox and claims that he and his party offer &#8220;personal freedoms&#8221;.&nbsp; I would like to see a single way that he has protected my personal freedom during his time his office, and I am sure former Alabama Governor Siegelman would be interested in hearing the same. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Karl Rove and God knows who else in our wonderful Govt/Media seem to have blacked out a portion of the Siegelman interview on 60 minutes.  If you are not up to speed on this story, <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/21/60minutes/main3859830.shtml">CBS explains it here</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Now for the good stuff&#8230;<br />
Why was this interview blacked out?  <a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2008/60_Minutes_broadcast_on_prosecution_of_0225.html">Check out the dirt here.</a></p>
<p>I am about to drop a line to Bernie and Patrick and let them know I think they should add this to their list of scandals to look into.</p>
<p>I am definitely going to fan these flames a bit.  This is America, not China, and censorship like this is bullshit. Karl Rove and his cronies need to be locked up, send &#8216;em to Gitmo for a vacation.</p>

<p>In other news, Obama has won his 9th straight in <strike>Wisconsin</strike> WINSconsin.  Hawaii should be posting results after 1am EST.  </p>
<p>A Clinton campaign manager <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8583.html">reported today</a> that they intended to begin working to convince pledged delegates whose constituents voted for Obama to come over to her side.  Is it just me or is this essentially saying that our votes don&#8217;t count?  I know this is a close race, but shouldn&#8217;t the will of the American people be the most important factor to any candidate?  </p>

<p>It appears that the Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from the ACLU that would allow them to pursue a lawsuit against the program that wiretapped millions of innocent americans. &nbsp;To add insult, they did so without remark. &nbsp;</p>
<p>When the Supreme Court has no interest in upholding our constitutional rights we have a real problem. &nbsp;I think MSNBC&#8217;s Keith Olbermann put it best&#8230;.</p>
