Happy Tuesday - I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and honored our soldiers and their families for their continued sacrifice.

Here's what's in the news:

Sen. Sam spent the weekend with Sen. McCain... evidently it was all about the meat. That means, however, that they both missed the Great American Bar-B-Q Festival in beautiful Kansas City this weekend. Do we honestly think that Arizona BBQ can stand up to KC BBQ???

Our own Dr. Bob and his wife Shirley recieved the Porchlight Award from the Front Porch Alliance. They did not accept the gift on their porch, however - but at a beautiful banquet at the Gem Theatre. We celebrate this award for two very deserving people.

Gender should not be a factor in the Graves/Barnes race, according to conservatives... Right, cause gender only happens in San Francisco... duah!

MO state BOE has decided that no matter HOW BAD your charter school is - you still have the right to pay money to go to it and lead your children into a life of unstable inefficiency and intellectual sewage. Party on...

The Oprah's approval ratings have dropped since her endorsement of Obama. Her favorables are now at 66 down from 74 earlier this year. And her unfavorables jumped to 26 from 17. They indicate this has nothing to do with her gaining weight from her gland problem. Also in the news both McCain and Obama would die to have these numbers....

Also, McCain and Obama's campaign finance reports are now too big for excel spreadsheets over at the FEC. No word on whose spreadsheet is bigger - McCain or Obama but I vow to keep you posted.

In an interview with McCain - the AZ Sen criticized Sen. Obama on Iraq saying

"He really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time."

This message comes just after Sen. McCain borrowed Sen. Clinton's notes during study hall....

HBO film Recount aired this Sunday showing a violent portrayal of GOP House and Senate staffers who chased an official down the hall and out of a building in effort to stop the recount. This news is nothing new, but still shocking. It also shows Sen. Joe Lieberman's royal screw-up on the established message set by the campaign.

Breaking News: George W. Bush is still in the White House. Also breaking, Katherine Harris still puts her make-up on with a putty knife and squandered her only chance at being an elected official in one of the most expensive mistakes ... ever. OOPS!

You can now enter the GOP Poll to see who is the VP nominee... GO WILD!

Actor and Director Sydney Pollack died yesterday at 73. I, personally, deeply mourn his loss, he was one of my favorite directors.

All I got for now... have a good day - feel free to comment and post your own news not seen here!
