Still standing...
It’s the most over-used trick in their arsenal, but not without reason: Americans have a VERY short memory of historical events. The best way to rewrite history is to hammer the same message by a dozen talking heads over and over until it becomes the way things are.
Don’t let this happen again. Regardless of what you think about how things are going now, there is no denying that the statements being made in the 2008 campaign do not follow what was said in the last 10 years.

So how about it? Does the boat cruise spice it up enough to push you over into the “in” crowd?
American Idol just non-voted off its best performer of Season 7 tonight with the exit of Michael Johns. He had never been in the Bottom 3 all season, but was left on stage as the lowest vote count after Tuesday’s incredible performance of ‘Dream On’ by Aerosmith.
