McCain wants new energy sources, but more oil exploration as long as the states agree. "The Arizona senator promised to lay out a specific plan for reaching energy independence in the coming days." Good luck Senator! Will cars run on beer in our future?

Since the Associated Press doesn't like bloggers quoting their hard work, Obama and Hillary will meet with her top contributors because they don't like him. Excuse me. Those donors "are frustrated" with him. They will meet at the Mayflower Hotel on June 26.

The same article owned by the same company. The New York Times headline is: After Attacks, Michelle Obama Looks for a New Introduction. The International Herald Tribune headline is: Michelle Obama is ready for her close-up. Both state: "Now her husband’s presidential campaign is giving her image a subtle makeover, with a new speech in the works to emphasize her humble roots and a tough new chief of staff. On Wednesday, Mrs. Obama will do a guest turn on 'The View,' the daytime talk show on ABC, with an eye toward softening her reputation." I want a Democrat in the WHITE HOUSE more than anyone, but damn, I hate the "changes" necessary to win. Let Michelle be the woman she is, not a subtle version. Don't dumb down a strong, educated woman. If she wants to speak, let her SPEAK! We went through this shit in 1992. Hell, pick a year! Rosaylnn Carter sat at Cabinet meetings. How dare she?! This whole mentality is pissing me off and Mister Hope and Change better let his wife be who she is. Strategists may have their polls and their "but she can't wear that color" bullshit, but DO NOT make her a smiling drone. I hope and doubt Michelle Obama would allow that, but politics is a Coliseum sport. I guess her appearance on THE VIEW will define it for us. ARGHHHHHHHH!

It is legal for women to go topless in Ashland, Oregon, but not on July 4. Jen Moss wants her boobies bare like any other day.
