wow the new U2 is very disappointing. Violet Hill wins by a mile. In fact, i am confident in saying that every song in VLV and PM is better than Get on your Boots. (even Lost +)

i am expecting to feel just like this about the new U2 album http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=11worst

what the Hamas organization or other terrorist groups say is not what the palestinians think in general, they just have the louder voices.

lol @ celibacy.

Frances Limon by Los Enanitos Verdes. Look it up.

Lupe Fiasco should be #3 instead of Lil Wayne

1. Sparks 2. Green Eyes 3. White shadows 4. Strawberry Swing 5. Glass of Water

Glass Of Water 23 + Life In Technicolor ii 21 Prospekt's March/ Poppyfields 18 Rainy Day 13 - Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground 7

Elbow needs to be higher than that. It should be at least top 5.

It really isn't. It is a very overrated album, it has a couple of good songs there, but the rapping is above average but nothing compared to mos def, lupe fiasco, talib Kweli, or Jay-z. And the production is nothing compared to a Kanye album (except fr the most recent one which is meh).

WOOOO Obama wins Dixville Notch 15-6, and Hart's Location 17-10-2

technically Obama is a harvard legacy. His father received his PhD from Harvard

:( indeed

well, first of all, back up your claims of corruption. Until you do so, I will assume he is innocent of such allegations. here are my personal reasons why I support Barack Obama 1. Supreme court judges. Experts estimate that at least 2 seats will open up during the next presidency. I believe that the supreme court, after the nomination and confirmation of John Roberts and Samuel Alito, there is a definite conservative lean in the Supreme Court. I believe that the ideas that Obama has written spoken and voted for, will lead him to nominate the type of Justice that I believe is needed at the moment. 2. He is honest, and is not owned by big oil. Now, some say that there is no guarantee of knowing who are the candidate's true allegiances are. But take this story that hasn't been covered much at all, and really, it is not an important issue but more of a small display of Obama's character. Currently, there is a law-suit from a group of indigenous people in Ecuador against Chevron. During the 1970s when oil was discovered in Ecuador, Texaco (later bought up by Chevron) received government contracts to extract oil from the jungle where these people lived. Texaco knowingly used standards of safety in their waste disposal well below what is safe for humans living there. Cancer and death rates rose significantly among the indigenous people living there. Recently, they filed the said lawsuit against Chevron. Now, this case has received very little coverage, and there was of no political advantage in any way for Obama to 'the then U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman urging the administration to permit the Ecuadoran peasants to have "their day in court."' That to me shows the type of man that Obama is. He is a person of character, integrity and honesty. Qualities much needed in a president to lead right now. http://www.newsweek.com/id/149090 3. His intelligence and organizational skills. Barack Obama is an extremely intelligent man. He attended columbia for his undergraduate studies. And proceeded (after doing a couple of years of community organizing), to study at Harvard Law, one of the most prestigious law schools in the nation, where he graduated Magna cum Laude. He also became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review, one of the most respected Law journals in the world. By accounts of his colleagues at the time, he did not alienate the federalists or the liberal members of the review, but he picked the best of both sides, to accomplish his goal of publishing a quality journal. His goals were not to advance an ideology, but to get the optimal result, with optimal efficiency, and surrounding himself with the best people to do so. I am a firm believer that the organizational skills required to run a successful campaign, are of the same kind that are required to be in charge of the presidency. Not many people will argue that his campaign has been one of the best run campaigns in recent memory. And the ground game, which we'll have to see tomorrow how well it works, by all accounts is magnitudes stronger than any seen before. 4. His judgment and leadership. When the war against Iraq was being built up, it was not a popular time for a politician to argue against the wishes of the presidency. Senators like Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, and countless others, supported the war. None of them, had the vision or the judgment that Obama displayed when he predicted how this war would be an expensive war. How there was no clear goal to be achieved. And most importantly, how it was diverting from the real priorities in the war against al-qaeda. It is only 5 years later that the country has come to realize how right he was. In the recent economic crisis, Obama has displayed the right type of leadership. Ask yourself who the nation looked to for leadership more, Bush, Obama or McCain during the crisis. Bush did nothing, and let Paulson and Bernake do what they deemed appropriate. McCain executed a stunt by suspending his campaign. Obama however, when it came to the meeting of the democratic, and republican leaders of congress (among which were both presidential candidates) and the administration, Obama was the one to take the role of the leader among the democrats and push Secretary Paulson and Bernanke, about what was the best approach and what the consequences and ramifications would be. McCain did nothing but sit silent for 40 minutes until Obama asked him what his views were. Bush did nothing. Now, in the financial crisis, tell me who it was that lead. it was Obama. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/us/politics/26campaign.html?_r=4&pagewanted=1&ref=politics&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=login 5. his work in the Illinois state senate, and his work as a US senator. here I will just provide a list of the legislation that he has authored or co-authored, during his 8yrs in the state senate, and 4 years in the US senate. this was the quickest link i could find, if Dkos is not good enough for you, i'll look for another one. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/21/164117/783/290/461422 US senate: "Most of his legislative effort has been in the area of Energy Efficiency and Climate Change (25 bills), health care (21 bills) and public health (20 bills), consumer protection/labor (14 bills), the needs of Veterans and the Armed Forces (13 bills), Congressional Ethics and Accountability (12 bills), Foreign Policy (10 bills) Voting and Elections (9 bills), Education (7 bills), Hurricane Katrina Relief (6), the Environment (5 bills), Homeland Security (4 bills), and discrimination (4 bills).

Alright, ill take up the challenge, but first tell me what would satisfy your definition of proof. Since it really is impossible to prove that a candidate is a good choice until after they have finished their presidency.

so your great alternative is to pick an erratic and senile 72 yr old whose judgement is quite questionable, and is a cancer survivor. Who has a significant chance of dying while in office to be replaced by a woman who said this "hat’s why I say, I like ever American I’m speaking with were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bailout. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Helping the — Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americas. A And trade we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive scary thing. But 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. ALl those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that."
