		<description><![CDATA[I work at a mixed government/private facility (although our emails end with .gov).  Yesterday all employees got a message from the CEO.  The gist of it:
  - The various TVs scattered throughout the facility will be tuned to CNN Headline News (as usual).
  - Incidental watching of the inauguration is fine, just as any incidental watching of news programs is always fine.
  - If you are planning to watch much of the inauguration, you should take vacation time to do it.  

Oh, I suspect the CEO is an Obama supporter, but I was very gratified with how professionally and honestly he approached the matter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Canada seems to think Sarah Palin was right on at least one thing,

She said that Obama was pallin&#039;around with terrorists?

Well...

&lt;b&gt; William Ayers was turned back at the Canadian border!!!&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/19/ayers-turned-away-canada-immigration-officials/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; read it at Foxnews&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/573462&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; read it at the Toronto Star&lt;/a&gt;

Here is an excerpt of what poor misunderstood wittle terrorist Ayers had to say about it,

&lt;i&gt;&quot;&lt;b&gt;I don&#039;t know why I was turned back,&quot; Ayers said&lt;/b&gt; in an interview this morning from Chicago. &quot;I got off the plane like everyone else and I was asked to come over to the other side. The border guards reviewed some stuff and said I wasn&#039;t going to be allowed into Canada. To me it seems quite bureaucratic and not at all interesting ... &lt;b&gt;If it were me I would have let me in.&lt;/b&gt;...&quot;&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

Patient: Say, Nurse, I couldn&#039;t help but notice that the doctor doesn&#039;t have any diplomas on the wall. Why&#039;s that?

Nurse: He doesn&#039;t have any.

Patient: What? Why not? How do I know if he&#039;s any good?

Nurse: Well, you like him, don&#039;t you? I mean, your friends recommended him to you, didn&#039;t they?

Patient: Well, yes.

Nurse: See? He&#039;s an inspirational symbol. He doesn&#039;t need to have accomplished anything. You&#039;ll understand that when it comes time for you to deal with the pancreatic cancer that his predecessor diagnosed in you last week. You&#039;ll need Doctor&#039;s reassuring ways and great bedside manner to get you cured.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Book,

&quot;What’s sad is that Mr. Bookworm is an extremely smart man. His statements are where smart people go when they run out of real arguments.&quot;

And I have a really smart computer, but if I feed it faulty information, I get nonsense out. Garbage In, Garbage Out. 

Also, Liberals do not regard facts with much reverence, or attribute to them much importance. Their Feelings occupy the place in their brains that is designed to hold, and use Facts. Thus, feelings ARE their facts, and they regard them as such. That is why they attribute such importance to their feelings: They are misclassified as facts in their brains.

However, and unfortunately, since feelings can only exist in the present moment, Libs can, and do believe that their labile feelings are always true, even when they are diametrically opposed. That&#039;s why when Bush espoused a position that was identical to Obama&#039;s -- gay marriage, I think it was -- Bush was WRONG, and Evil, and Obama was RIGHT, and the Messiah.

Because facts don&#039;t matter to them. 2 + 2 = 22 is absolutely FINE, as long as it makes them feel important, and loved.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only time I started paying attention to the Election Politics, Book, was when Sarah Palin was nominated VP. Before, I didn&#039;t give a damn. Meaning, I didn&#039;t care for Obama and I didn&#039;t care for McCain. I saw no speeches, I read no speeches, and I sure as heck didn&#039;t watch any televised debates, youtube or otherwise.

People might have noticed before October that whenever Book posted something about Obama, I didn&#039;t say much of anything. I was aware of certain things going on, like Republican Primaries and Democrat Hillary vs Obama, but none of the details until Sarah Palin.

And I&#039;m actually hypersensitive to politics, at least when it comes to national security issues. Just imagine what regular people would have been doing. That is the untold story, untold by the Main Sewer Media anyways.

&lt;B&gt;Mr. Bookworm:  That doesn’t mean anything anymore.  Presidents aren’t really executives. &lt;/b&gt;

I&#039;m not sure whether you got his point or not. I would estimate that Mr B doesn&#039;t see the President as an Executive because fake liberal ideology and dogma has imprinted the idea that an &quot;Executive&quot; is a highly overrated and paid &quot;leader&quot; that is only out to exploit people. So obviously Obama cannot be said to be an &quot;Executive&quot; nor can the US President be called an exploiter, except for Bush and Cheney, that is.

&lt;B&gt;This interesting conversation ended abruptly at this point when one of the kids started throwing up in the back seat, but I certainly would have liked to have pursued it.&lt;/b&gt;

Poor kiddy must have had a flash back of Indoctrination Camp after hearing the argument. Must have produced that nausea feeling.

&lt;B&gt;Are they all reading from the same playbook or have they all independently arrived at the conclusion that this is the only possible answer to cover Obama’s abysmal lack of concrete accomplishments?&lt;/b&gt;

It is called propaganda, Book. They think that they came up with the idea, but in reality, it was people like me, those involved in propaganda operations, that gave them the idea in the first place. For Obama, it is Axelrod and some MSM editor.

&lt;B&gt;Well, if presidents are not executives and their purpose is only inspirational, why did so many leftists heap scorn on Reagan for being an actor?&lt;/b&gt;

Anybody that adopts conservative ideas or jumps party from the Democrats to the Republicans is labeled &quot;stupid&quot;. And since they couldn&#039;t attack him as stupid for holding beliefs that many Americans, including Southern Democrats, held, they had to attack him based upon his &quot;inexperience&quot; and actor background.]]></description>
