		<description><![CDATA[Airlines want your love. Desperate to save themselves, and divert attention from their panoply of surcharges and fees, they&#8217;re asking you to beg congress to stop the greedy oil speculators. We don&#8217;t expect them to find a lot of sympathy from anyone who&#8217;s flown in the last 10 years.

My dad gave me one dollar bill
‘Cause I’m his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
‘Cause two is more than one!
And then i took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes-I guess he don’t know

Apparently, the Department of Defense has run out of email addresses. In the flyer distributed throughout Baghdad announcing a reward for information on missing soldiers, tipsters are urged to send email to a yahoo.com email address(baghdadtipshotline@yahoo.com).
