Previous treaties of this type have received over 90% support in the Senate…let’s hope Republicans can for just one moment do something positive and join Democrats in approving the new treaty.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy that Health Industry Reform has passed, ready for the implementation to begin! It’s certainly not perfect and there are definitely things I would change, but it’s a great start for a great nation. Here’s (copied below) some of what we can expect in the next four years. A more complete timeline. That timeline is [...]]]></description>

It was all very positive, save one very weird experience as I was driving through the suburb that I work in, on my way home from my parents’ home. It’s not the kind of place I’d expect [...]]]></description>

His “prayer” was more about himself than anything else – are you that self-centered, Rick? It’s supposed to be a day to think about the new President and [...]]]></description>

It was a horrible night – hundreds were killed, temple’s burned, people shipped to camps, lives destroyed. It was but a small preview of what the Nazi’s would do in WWII.

I’ve had time to think about the election and the great things and the not-so-great things that took place. If politics and religion aren’t your thing, just move right along. First off, I’m extremely happy that Obama and Biden won. [...]]]></description>

No wonder nearly 80% of Americans know he stinks – almost makes you feel sorry for the other 20% who are still living in some form of denial. Now he’s working to deregulate [...]]]></description>
