For new music, I'm liking that Kings of Leon "Sex on Fire" song. I've heard the album is good, I haven't heard it though. As CC said, try a site like Rhapsody or something where you can check out samples of all the songs.

I think she isn't bright at all. I think McCain had a very difficult challenge ahead of him (as Tejas alluded to, following Bush) & McCain/Palin ran a relatively close campaign all things considered. I think she probably was very annoying behind the scenes and the McCain advisors had alot of built up frustration they've been waiting to get out to the press on her, although I do think they should have probably kept it to themselves, since they chose her. They weren't forced or obligated to work with her. I think she did help boost McCains #'s, and I think, with just about any of his VP choices he had, he probably would have finished about the same pace behind (unless he was truly psychic & chose an real economic guru way back in August). I don't think you'll see her in 2012. It's not that she just wasn't knowledgable of certain national issues, it's that she was incapable of learning them.  It was pretty apparent.

All just my opinion of course.

Really good version. I can convert it to MP3 Slinger, but I'm at work right now. If you google it, there's actually a few websites out there that make it pretty easy to do.

Considering how it's the Energy "Security Council" I imagine it has more to do with getting off foriegn oil, & looking more towards new energies. I don't, however, like how it takes some power & oversight away from the EPA. I think there should be 1 Environmental/Energy group, not multiple with various self interests. Who knows though.

Yeah, cool banner.
