&quot;We Republicans have to reestablish our conservative principals to the American people,&quot; McCain said. &quot;I see a degree of activism, a degree of involvement and a degree of anger out there that I&#039;ve never seen before in the years that I&#039;ve served. When you have this kind of anger, this kind of frustration and this kind of activism, it will bring about change inside the Beltway whether we want it or not.&quot;</description>

		<description>What a beautiful and intriguing picture! What is so cool about it is that it could have been taken from an airplane or just a shot of some drifts in a backyard. 

So peaceful and beautiful.</description>

&quot;But Dr. Logsdon was quick to point out that the first person to notice the Palin-Prejean reference in the Bible&#039;s book of prophecy was actually the sixteenth-century seer Nostradamus, legendary for his predictive powers.

According to Dr. Logsdon, in 1555 Nostradamus predicted the alliance between the two right-wing beauties when he wrote, &quot;The slayer of beasts shall meet the barer of breasts.&quot;</description>

		<description>AKM, ya really should not make Zen moments an open thread, because it&#039;s really hard to come park stuff that is not Zen like.........

Anyway......now Scarah&#039;s gonna have the cast of SLN and Alec Baldwin coming after her, and all their friends and supporters, hell, all of Hollywood, plus she disses Chavez who has HELPED her state for how many years? She is so unbelievably, incredibly stupid, to the bone nitwit. 

Saying that did not feel very Zen like. lol

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/15/palin-refused-to-shake-ol_n_358338.html

&quot;The then-vice presidential candidate writes that she refused to shake Oliver Stone&#039;s hand because of the director&#039;s leftist political leanings. Stone was in the studio making an SNL appearance of his own.

&quot;During all this, the writers, the producers, and the campaign continued to hammer out the script,&quot; Palin writes. &quot;Josh Brolin, Mark Wahlberg, and the singer Adele were also on the show that night, as was director Oliver Stone, who made a cameo appearance. Unbelievably, he is a supporter of Communist dictator Hugo Chavez, who in a 2006 speech to the United Nations referred to the president of the United States as &#039;the devil himself.&#039; I did not shake Stone&#039;s hand.&quot;</description>

Also too, are there you tube videos of Shannyn Up North shows yet? I&#039;ve missed both so far. I also missed you last night, is there a replay somewhere?</description>
