President Obama has won a lot in the last year. But the sexiest man of 2009 goes to Johnny Depp.</p>]]></description>

<p>Kudos to the new Tea Party and the old Green Party for fighting for what they believe in.<br />
Not that has or will do much good.</p>

<p>It passed cheered the Democrats. Squeaked by is more like it.<br />
Course this was expected and the simplest vote in the process. <br />
Now it's on to the Senate. Yeah, Obama good luck with those tightwads.</p>

<p>The New York Yankees spent a quarter billion in the off season. And it paid off very well. <br />
Congrats to them on their 2009 World Series victory.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="july-11_09.jpg" src="http://www.whereitstands.com/july-11_09.jpg" width="450" height="117" /></p>

<p>Over time, the music will over shadow the weirdness and personal problems.<br />
Which Michael fans, should be happy about.</p>

<title>How Michael Jackson will be remembered (2009)</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="july%2010_09.jpg" src="http://www.whereitstands.com/july%2010_09.jpg" width="450" height="117" /></p>

<p>Michael's recent history and last decade of crazy antics, molestation charges and bankruptcy over shadow his amazing talent and music. <br />
While many want to remember him for his music, it's hard to separate the personal life from the music when the personal is what's top of mind.</p>

<title>Economic Re_something....</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="june_10_09.jpg" src="http://www.whereitstands.com/june_10_09.jpg" width="450" height="120" /></p>

<p>I'm afraid I don't share the rosy news about the economy. Banks giving back bailout money is just banks trying to get the government out of their hair. </p>

<p>Wall Street is still filled with crooks. Main Street is still hurting. And it's not going to get better anytime soon.</p>

<title>What Obama should say about Iran</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="june_22_09.jpg" src="http://www.whereitstands.com/june_22_09.jpg" width="450" height="120" /></p>

<p>Nothing or little if anything. <br />
We should not add fuel to any fire. Or stoke the current power structure. The Iranian people are doing a fine job by themselves provoking their government. </p>

<p>Sometimes not meddling in others business is the right course of action.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="jun_2_09.jpg" src="http://www.whereitstands.com/jun_2_09.jpg" width="450" height="120" /></p>

<p>I guess they could have let GM fail. And it still might. But they had to try to keep it afloat. <br />
Even if it just lets the country down easy.</p>]]></description>

<title>Army, Scared</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If you want to put fear and horror into the American military complex, just announce your gay. <br />
Nothing scares those Army, Navy and Marine folks more. </p>
