            <title>Partybuilding Part Deux: The Friends List</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coexistonline.com/index.php&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://penplayerstheatre.com/coexist.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; So. Over the last two days I have sent a LOTTA PM&#039;s here. Several of them have all gone to one person on my friends list, no - not because I&#039;m stalking that person - but oddly, because I wanted to help work out a situation between that one and someone ELSE on my friends list. (Stay with me here, I promise there&#039;s a point.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I spent a few minutes looking at my list of Partybuilder friends, and thinking about them. There are 29 of them. As I thought about my list, I realized a couple of things. I intentionally keep the number pretty low, because I consider everyone on it an actual friend. Anyone on that list can email me or call me any time and for any reason. If you&#039;re on the list, then the friendship is real and goes beyond politics and this website. But (getting closer to the point now) out of those 29 people, I noticed this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 Die Hard Hillary Clinton supporters&lt;br /&gt;6 Die Hard (With A Vengeance) Barack Obama supporters&lt;br /&gt;6 Die Hard II John Edwards supporters&lt;br /&gt;9 friends whose candidate of choice I have no clue about&lt;br /&gt;1 Live Free or Die Hard Republican&lt;br /&gt;and Paul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What separates these people and makes them different? Nothin. They&#039;re all my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who do I support?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends.</description>

            <title>Happy Thanksgiving to my Crackpot Friends</title>
            <description>CRACKED POT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>What is blog &quot;friends&quot; all about?</title>
            <description>I&#039;ve been invited over the past couple of days to become the friend of three other bloggers here, and I&#039;ve accepted and feel glad to be their friend, going by what I can learn about them from reading their profiles and posts or comments. But what is it all about?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s a sort of help prompt labeled &quot;What is this?&quot; in the friends area, but it gives the barest sort of technical definition of terms, without beginning to explain what &quot;having friends&quot; here means or entails or enables one to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My only previous experience with blogging has been at blogspot.com (where my main blog is at the address &lt;a href=&quot;http://moristotle.blogspot.com)&quot;&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;, and it doesn&#039;t have &quot;friends.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that blogspot has that would be very useful here is its mechanism for automatically notifying you via email when someone has commented on one of your posts. I can&#039;t see that democrats.org/community/post has anything like this, but I&#039;d like to learn that I&#039;m wrong and just haven&#039;t discovered it yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on these matters for me. I appreciate it.</description>

            <title>To my friends, the Republicans</title>
            <description>I don&#039;t know if any of you are reading this, seeing as this is a Democratic website and all. But if you&#039;re a Republican, and you&#039;ve found this blog, I just want to say:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Welcome, brother.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m not here to kick your ass or call you nasty names. The time for insults is over, and the stakes are too high to act like a bunch of schoolyard juveniles. Instead, I want to speak to you sincerely... as a friend, a neighbor, and an American. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m not kidding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
