Barack Obama's Campaign Shopping List
In a stunning acknowledgment that having more money may, in fact, be better than having less money, Barack Obama decided to opt out of public financing for his campaign yesterday, eschewing $80 million in federal funds for the $300 million in his private war chest.
At first glance, this would seem to be a betrayal of many of Obama's core principals — his commitment to campaign finance reform, tightening ethics restrictions, and not crushing John McCain between his pointer finger and pinky — but it's hard to blame the man when you realize how many items he's got on his campaign wish list, all of which cost $300 million.
Among those items:
*300,000,000 dollar store mini-detergents
*150,000,000 ironic John McCain yard signs
*300,000 purebred golden retrievers
*50,000 Vespa GRANTURISMOS
*300 pretty good yachts
*50 six million dollar men
*30 twelve-ounce jars of the world's leading mustard.
*1 feature-length campaign ad, directed by Michael Bay

How is Bi-Polar girl today, Harmony?
After 8 weeks of some one changing my Psychiatric medication to something less effective, and perhaps sugar pills. I had to switch back to what worked for me for 10 years.
Doctor's orders?
No, I have been cut off and isolated by any advice from a medical profession and had to make the decision on my own.
