alive.

[SoCalDem]

9. Huckleberry will stay in for the long haul.. He doesn't need as much

money as the others..and Mccain's not flush with cash either.. Mitt's Millions have not made him "loved", so Mc cain & Huckleberry will hang in there to the bitter end, money or no money..

The religious freakazoids don;t like Mittens, and they're not crazy about McCain..

6. he was beating out ghoulani from what i remember!

"The phrase "Swan song" is a reference to an ancient belief that the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is completely mute during its lifetime, except for singing a single, heartbreakingly beautiful song just before it dies.

"It has been known since antiquity that this belief is false. In A.D. 77. Pliny the Elder refuted it in Natural History (book 10, chapter xxxii: olorum morte narratur flebilis cantus, falso, ut arbitror, aliquot experimentis, "observation shows that the story that the dying swan sings is false"). Peterson et. al. note that Cygnus olor is "Not mute but lacks bugling call, honking, grunting, and hissing on occasion."<1> The legend has remained so appealing that over the centuries it has continued to appear in various artistic works.
