			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a little song I composed, which reflects some of the talking points about Obama during the campaign.</p>
<p>Note that it does not necessarily reflect my views on Obama, but rather extreme boredom during my 1 hour car ride home from work.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Sung to the tune of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24mrmjUBwTc" target="_blank">Transformers</a></em></p>
<p>The Transformer,<br />
More than meets the eye<br />
Obamatrons wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Neocons<br />
The Transformer<br />
Muslim in disguise<br />
The Transformer<br />
More than meets the eye<br />
The Transformer.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah I know. Don&#8217;t give up my day job.</p>

<p>In this case, I would like to pass on this message from <a href="http://jump2.webadsisrael.com/?Israellycool.Vote.Israel" target="_blank">Vote from Israel</a>.</p>
<p>Vote From Israel is a non-partisan, nonprofit dedicated to getting Americans in Israel to Vote in the upcoming US elections for President.</p>
<p>To vote from overseas, you MUST be registered. If you aren’t registered, you can’t vote. Period.</p>
<p>Registration ends <strong>October 6, 2008</strong>. In other words, in a week.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the <a href="http://jump2.webadsisrael.com/?Israellycool.Vote.Israel" target="_blank">website</a>.</li>
<li>Enter your name.</li>
<li>Download the PDF form.</li>
<li>Print it out.</li>
<li>Fill it out and sign it.</li>
<li>Drop it off at one of the drop-off points around the country (listed at <a href="http://jump2.webadsisrael.com/?Israellycool.Vote.Israel" target="_blank">the site</a>) by October 6.</li>
</ol>
<p>If it isn’t dropped off, you can’t vote!</p>
<p>I am not going to tell you who to vote for &#8211; that is your decision (and I think you could guess who that would be) &#8211; but I do think it <em>is</em> important to vote in these US elections.</p>
<p>I know if I was American, I would be doing just that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If this <a href="http://english.ramattan.net/newsdetails.aspx?news_id=39007" target="_blank">report</a> about a palestinian poll is anything to go by:</p>
<blockquote><p>A new Palestinian public poll revealed on Wednesday that <span style="color: #ff0000;">33.5% of the Palestinians are in favor of Mr. John Mc Cain</span> as a presidential candidate in the US elections, and 66.6 % evaluated their economic situation as &#8216;bad&#8217;.</p>
<p>The results of a public poll conducted in the period from (1-10) September 2008, by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO) show that poll results revealed (33.5 %) are at present in favor of Mr. John McCain, the candidate of the US Republicans, as the coming President of the United States of America, whilst Mr.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Barack Obama, the candidate of the Democratic Party, scored (27.7 %).</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">(30.4 %) of the Palestinians said they &#8220;favor neither of them&#8221;</span> and (8.3 %) declined to answer.</p></blockquote>
<p>I cannot for the life of me understand why more palestinians would favor McCain over Obama, nor why they would favor McCain over &#8220;neither candidate.&#8221;</p>
<p>I guess Palin really <em>was</em> an inspired choice.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, anyone else smells a rat.</p>
