FREEP YAHOO!

I have to tell you how much I like the idea of raising awareness of news items by manipulating a service like Yahoo, most of whose execs are rethugs.
(Ok, I don't know this for a fact, but I do know that some of the Yahoo execs are fund raising for Gov. Schwarzenfuckincorporatewhore's unneeded special election.)

I also have to say how nicely surprised I was that many of these stories were already in the "most popular" listing. I pray that middle America and the average conservatives who still think the GOP is good for them are waking up.
