[Interesting] Anti-energy drink gaining popula

Although Im sure this fake stuff is popular too.I used to drink those in the 80s(sans the jolly rancher) and with vodka. I used to call them Cuba Blah-bres.

... cause I'm short on time, sorry :) The Temptations - Papa Stoned (Coburn Remix) Uses "Papa was a Rolling Stone" Groove Enforcers F. Lyck - A Little Closer (The Young Punx Vs. Nick Beggs Extended Mix) Samples Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" Granite & Sugarman Vs Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (D300 Mix) Nothing special here, but it uses a great classic.

He is suffering from a terrible affliction, with which he is afflicted twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Sometimes he is [...]

The New Republic is making all the articles in its current issue online-accessible, for free. It's worth a look. I recommend the stories on the McCain campaign, Obama's pastor, and particularly Jonathan Chait on the Clinton campaign. But if nothing else, check out the picture (in the subscription ad) where somebody "morphed" Obama and Clinton's faces into one being. And tell me that's not Kajagoogoo...
