Click on the Zillow link: (Link)/ Type in your current address, get the results, then Vote in the poll. This is fun for renters, and those of you who still live with your parents/roomies/in a van down by the river! Zillow will appraise every address! You can help kick this thread by posting if the appraisal came in higher or lower than you expected, maybe the city/state your in, if you'd like. I don't recommend posting your zillow results link, too much personal information will be exposed...

(Link) Swimmer Amanda Beard might be the sexiest and most compassionate U.S. Olympic athlete of all time. Need proof? Check out the anti-fur ad that she did—naked—for PETA. Even with her busy and demanding training schedule, Amanda took the time to bare her skin to help save animals' skins. With the tagline "Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin. Don't Wear Fur," Amanda posed nude to help raise awareness of the cruelty inherent in the fur industry. With Beijing hosting the 2008 Olympic Summer Game...

Sometimes when a bleeding heart liberal's heart is heavy, we just focus on what's important, so I decided to help "someone" who really needs, well, my help...... (Link) Thank you Tiger Haven for giving me "Katy" :)

Sign Mark Warner's petition here: (Link) from email: The rising cost of health care is one of the most urgent problems facing our country, but Congress is struggling to pass even the most modest legislation to deal with it. Last week, I told you how the U.S. Senate jeopardized health care coverage for countless seniors, disabled citizens, and military families when it failed to pass bipartisan legislation preventing pay cuts to doctors who accept Medicare patients. And for the past week, n...

On May 2, 2006, I put together a DU compilation thread for all those great posts that attributed to the DU Peace Marchers on a beautiful day in New Yo...

(Link) May 13, 2008 Obamacans Pile on Clinton at Own Peril By Froma Harrop Many in the Obama camp, having outfoxed the apparently not-so-formidable Clinton machine, can't seem to get the hang of winning gracefully. They feel a need to drive a stake in Hillary Clinton's reputation, then dance. If they were smart, they'd heap praise on Clinton and let her finish out the race, however she chooses to do so. That's sage advice, even though offered by Republican mastermind-turned-pundit Karl Rove...

April 8, 2008 Letter Broken Soldiers, and a Broken System To the Editor: In “For Wounded Veterans and Their Families, a Journey Without Maps” (Editorial Observer, March 24), Lawrence Downes missed an important opportunity to explain why both the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs are unprepared to care for the service members who have been hurt in the Iraq war. The reason is that the frequently reported number of the wounded in action (29,320 as of March 1) does not ...

(Link) Obama Wins Endorsement of Union He Once Slammed February 14, 2008 9:22 PM Before the Iowa Caucuses, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, repeatedly disparaged the independent 527 groups backing former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, and running ads on Edwards' behalf -- the most prominent of which was largely funded by state chapters of the Service Employees International Union, which tonight announced it is backing Obama. "You've got these outside groups that are helping out candidates and it'...

(Link) <snip> What gives us confidence Mr. Obama will be stronger the next time he faces Mr. McCain, a seasoned political fighter with extensive national security credentials? Even more important, what special disadvantages does Mr. Obama carry into this contest on questions of national security? How will Mr. Obama answer Mr. McCain about his careless remark about unilaterally bombing Pakistan -- perhaps blowing up an already difficult relationship with a nuclear state threatened by Is...

Last weekend, the campaign staff converged on Chapel Hill for one last get-together. During a party Friday night, we enjoyed an evening with our co-workers and friends from the past year. And we met far-flung colleagues known previously only through e-mails, conference calls, and IMs. Also... there was karaoke. Team Internet put together a short video for the staff party. It offers a good glimpse at behind-the-scenes campaign life among friends living and working together, 24/7....

(Link) She writes: Not sexually of course, because anyone who knows me knows I am up for anything with anybody. I take all comers. I am an equal opportunity destroyer. So, I am not in that kind of closet. I am in the Democratic Primary closet. I know a lot of people in this closet. We can't talk about it. We are "undecided" in the polls. We are the ones everyone is fighting over. But I don't want to be in this closet, not anymore. I am outing myself....... Please read the rest at the link :D...

I didn't know only two countries in the WORLD allow direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising, and call it "educating the public" ? The USA is one of them. If only they could give $1.00 of that profit towards Universal Health Care, better yet, donate their entire advertising budget!

This is a bad thing and a good thing. The bad thing is it ain't going to be a real long time before I'm dead. The good thing is I've traveled a few miles and have picked up something along the way, and that something is called "institutional memory". As I watched ...
