Here is her note: "I asked Justin if he could help me make a commercial for my group's Tea Party. He sat down at the laptop for about an hour, and then brought this to me and asked, 'Is this okay, Mom?' After I finished watching it, my stomach was in my throat.

Video of speech

This is an EMail I received that's worth sharing: I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

"The perfume industry has long followed conventions: nice-smelling ingredients, usually derived from flowers and plants, are blended into a harmony of aromas, creating fragrant concoctions to allure and delight. But an emerging trend is seeing perfumers break with tradition, as they look to diversify in an over-flooded market. Cheese, cars and the smell of sweat are just some of the latest scents to be captured and bottled for a market eager to try unique and individual new perfumes.

This will not be a single operation, but two; one bigger than the other, but we will begin with the big one...

I heard a great idea on Laura Ingraham today. Bases in Iraq and Afghanistan have names like 'Camp Victory' etc. Suppose Dim Party leaders such as Pelosi, Reid, Dean, Kennedy, Durbin et al were allowed to name these camps. You might have names like Camp Defeat, Camp Quagmire, Camp Retreat, Camp No-Can-Do. Any other ideas?

Kerry on July 24,...
