		<description>They have problems pronouncing the hard &#039;c&#039; in celtic.  And don&#039;t even try getting one of them to pronounce &#039;Sean&#039; correctly.</description>

		<description>I was in Cape Breton Highlands last year.  I had no idea that there were coyotes there, although I did see a bear and a ton of elk.  They also love their celtic and folk music up there.  I guess the coyotes are celtic music fans...</description>

		<description>UI reports the story of coyotes killing a folk singer and asks the question: &quot;Were the coyotes rabid?&quot;

More likely, they were less-than-rabid fans of freak folk. I mean, have you ever tried to listen to Devandra Barnhart?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;As John Cole said – she is a grifter. She’s like Newt Gingrich this way. She wants to maintain the reputation of a rising politician to raise money for herself. I don’t think she has any intention to run for president.&lt;/i&gt;

Exactly.  Except I think she will give it a try as a profile building/fundraising opportunity.  I think that she&#039;ll join people like Gingrich, Alan Keyes, Gary Bauer, Ron Paul and so on who run as a way of building their own private pyramid schemes.  These people have run into one crucial insight into the conservative money flow -- there is enough of it to sluice off to personal bank accounts that no one will need accountability for.  I&#039;d include Christine O&#039;Donnell in this crowd too -- she seems in this for the 15 minutes more than anything else.</description>

		<description>Palin won&#039;t speak before Republicans in Iowa unless they PAY her? 

Sorry teabaggers, she&#039;s not running. I guess Levi has something really good on her.</description>

		<description>anon -

I have noticed that, too.  Charlie&#039;s almost seems more like a simple mistake, but David A&#039;s just seems like something else (although, thinking it, too was a mistake).  I mean, to go from Fisker to FRISKer, sounds, well, perverted.</description>

		<description>LOL! via &lt;i&gt;Balloon Juice&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28873.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sarah Palin is already dividing the Republican party:&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;A conservative Iowa group’s effort to lure Sarah Palin to its banquet next month has had an unintended effect: Rather than exciting conservatives about the prospect of a visit from the former Alaska governor, the group’s plan to raise a six-figure sum to bring her to the state has GOP activists recoiling at the thought of paying to land a politician&#039;s speaking appearance.

The Iowa Family Policy Center’s effort to cobble together $100,000 for Palin would represent a striking departure from customary practice in the first-in-the-nation state, these Republicans say, noting that a generation of White House hopefuls has paid their own way to boost their party and presidential ambitions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>We&#039;ll have to convene our Death Panel to create stories of John&#039;s wild behavior on those junkets.

And I think that since I made the Free Beer for Smitty rule, I think that means I&#039;m buying.

Just hope I show up!</description>
