You've probably heard by now that <a  rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-preacher-warns-end-of-the-world-is-nigh-21-may-around-6pm-to-be-precise-2254139.html" rel="nofollow">Jesus is coming back this Saturday,</a> so I guess we should say our goodbyes now.  I think.  As an atheist I should be exempt from The Rapture, but as a one-time Babtist, I may not have any choice and may be forced to fly away with all those sanctimonious boneheads anyway.  Also, millions are bound to die in the ensuing chaos, and the internets may cease to function once society is deprived of the technical expertise of millions of fundies.<br>
<br>
So .. so long.  It's been good to know you.<br>

However .. should you be unfortunate enough to <em>not</em> be killed immediately, and have to endure The Tribulation, the Centers for... ]]></description>

			<link>http://stumpsandsoapboxes.com/topic/938/Help-me-help-Obama</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Maybe you got yours, too -- but I just received a nice note from the DNC.  It contains a lovely, postcard-sized picture of the Prez looking very pensive and serious.  On the bottom, over what I presume is his signature, it says "I value your ongoing support" and on the back it has some more words:  <em>President Obama cannot keep the Republicans from stopping the progress he has made without your support.</em> <br>
<br>
Now I'm scared ... and touched at the same time.<br>
<br>
Of course there's a pledge card and and reply envelope enclosed, but Obama doesn't just want my money (and my vote) -- he also values my opinion and includes a place to write an (optional) comment.<br>
<br>
I reeally want to give him some great advice.  I feel like he's counting on me.  But I'm not sure what to say, (and I don't want to waste this great opportunity) and was hoping you Stumpers could help me craft an appropriate message.<br>
<br>
This is my first draft:<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Serious but oblique question for Standard American or perhaps Jesus H. Christ.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to figure out if there is anything to this <a target="_blank" href="http://www.unthinkable.biz/home/article/2257/mamma-mia-italian-scientists-claim-to-have-created-cold-fusion">Cold Fusion revival.</a> <br>
<br>
What is certain is that if there is any possibility for this to work, energy companies will suppress this like there's no tomorrow.  Except Conoco of course. : )<br>
<br>
What do you think? ]]></description>
