		<description><![CDATA[AKRON, OH -- In a speech today, Senator McCain alluded to a young prostitute named Wanda he had recently met, who sells her body on street corners and dark alleyways.  "Wanda is a working, single mother, and shouldn't have to pay increased taxes," said McCain.  "I trust her to do a better job with her own money than the government, but under Senator Obama's tax policies, she wouldn't have enough cash to pay her rent, compensate her pimp and purchase a supply of clean needles.

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK, NY &#8212; While taping a segment for the TV show, &#8220;The View,&#8221; John McCain announced a new economic plan, where citizens would be paid one-thousand dollars each to cast their vote for the senator.

		<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON -- The federal government is planning on bailing out huge Wall Street corporations with up to a trillion dollars of taxpayers' money -- <em>your</em> money!

The Skunk doesn't think that's fair.  We believe average citizens like you should get a cut of the proceeds.  That's why we're proud to announce our "Where's My Bailout Money, Congress?" assistance program.
