Obama’s Oold seat up for grabs…
NAPERVILLE, Ill. — From a tiny booth at a festival here, a radio station host gave Representative Mark Steven Kirk, the Republican candidate for Senate, a moment to make his pitch between plugs for free massages and the corn dogs being sold a few booths away.

In Arizona, Corn, One-Liners and Politics on the Side
CHINO VALLEY, Ariz. — The hugely popular Corn Dinner here is in its 64th year, and Carrie Zambrano, as the organizer, sends out invitations to political candidates far and wide offering them the opportunity to serve. Party label means not a thing to her with 6,000 cobs to sling in one night.

Sometimes when I write I have a clear cut idea as to what I am going to write about. Other times I just begin with a thought and go from there. This time, as I sit here, I have no idea what I am about to say, nor how to say it. I feel as though I am being bombarded by a wide range of emotions. I feel fear, sadness, a hint of depression. But most of all, I feel this overwhelming sense of anger.
A Satire by Neal Ross

Often I spend much of my time coming up with new ideas for articles. Today was no different, until suddenly I had an epiphany, ( a sudden intuitive leap of understanding) . It was as if a thousand watt light bulb suddenly went on in my head, and I realized that I have been wrong about almost everything.
