Wow! So John McCain has really proven his "feminist" street cred by picking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his VP. Oh yes, and aren't they both such mavericks! McCain-Palin just smells like real change now, doesn't it?

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
~ by Bob Dylan

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,

Obama’s Competitiveness Agenda

Yesterday in Flint, Michigan, Sen. Obama gave a speech on “Renewing America’s Competitiveness.”

Today in Raleigh, North Carolina, Obama launches his “Change that Works for You” Tour with a speech on the economy at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Doors open at 11:00 AM EDT. Watch for prepared remarks later on this morning.

After the speech, the campaign will host a conference call with our top economic advisors to discuss the tour and take questions.

I've been doing a bit of research on ethanol/crop prices/energy and I think I've come to the conclusion that we've been screwed once again by the politicians. In theory, ethanol sounds like a great idea - convert the sun's energy via crops (corn) and then convert the crops into fuel; therefore creating a 'renewable' energy source right here at home and lessening our dependence on foreign oil.

First - and I apologize for the length - but i'm going to post the full article (with the author's permission) by Mark Simon, from last month's Animation World Magazine.
