CRYMTYPHON

I assume by 'my Bio' they mean, my biology. Weird question. My biology is basicly carbon-based, oxygen-breathing; I like to reproduce and move around in a warm-blooded kind of way. But who doesn't? Sadly I am not allowed by my mother to be more specific as to who I am or where I live. I can reveal that we are Reformed Amish (we believe scripture allows us to use microprocessors, but not microwave stoves or self-massage chairs).

Obama holds to course

Politics – It's hard to keep up with Barack Obama's positions on the Iraq war. When he entered the presidential race, he offered a plan that would take more than a year to withdraw from Iraq. In September, he said he would withdraw all our combat brigades over 15 months or so. This week, he vowed to pull those forces out within 16 months of taking office.

Black. Female. Accomplished. Attacked.

Women – There she is -- no, not Miss America, but the Angela-Davis-Afro-wearing, machine-gun-toting, angry, unpatriotic Michelle Obama, greeting her husband with a fist bump instead of a kiss on the cheek. It was supposed to be satire, but the caricature on the cover of the New Yorker last week rightly caused a major flap.
