-The kids are alright-
A new Harvard Institute of Politics poll finds that Barack Obama pretty much owns the youth vote. By how much? By twenty-goddam-three per-freakin'-cent, that's by how much.
Obama has 55% of the 18 to 24 year-olds, compared to McCain's 32%. And that's up 2% since March. This is probably why McCain wants to keep the Iraq war going -- he wants to kill off all the 18 to 24 year-olds. It's his only hope. (Political Wire)

Great, now we've got melting glaciers and allergies. This is really going to suck... (HealthDay)
