		<description><![CDATA[It has been a while, but the uproar over Microsoft&#8217;s new ad campaign pulled me back in.

		<description><![CDATA[Once you get past most of the politically correct BS-ing that one will encounter whenever the topic of women&#8217;s sports comes up, the American public shares the same sentiment: Women&#8217;s sports are slower, less skilled and therefore less interesting than their men&#8217;s counterpart.

-Edward R. Murrow
It seems that everyone from presidential candidates to PTA members are very quick to blame the George W. Bush for the current state of our nation, as well how we are viewed internationally. While Mr. Bush may have had the final word on most [...]]]></description>

The moment when your shoulders slowly slump, your eyes glaze over, and you can feel the moment sink into every bone in your body. For a moment, your world has equilibrium.

Why?
Because they are all morons.
