		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know why this article is what finally did it for me.  The pathetic political situation in the US has bottomed out.  I&#8217;m ashamed, I&#8217;m ashamed, I&#8217;m ashamed.  It&#8217;s like reading the crappy copy from some tenth rate near future sci-fi TV show.  In case you don&#8217;t want to read the whole thing&#8230;here&#8217;s the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In a really despicable turn, the Clinton campaign has started distributing pictures of Obama wearing native Kenyan garb.  He was in Kenya at the time, and his dad&#8217;s from there.  I guess it makes him look a bit like a terrorist muslim.  For myself, I have no problems with somebody looking like [...]]]></description>

So manipulative.
I&#8217;m fighting to stay cynical.
Even though I have a lot of practice&#8230;it&#8217;s hard.

		<description><![CDATA[Some good news to kick of the new week.  Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned.  He apparently tendered his resignation Friday.  In keeping with their longstanding policy of lying, however, the administration denied this as recently as yesterday.  Also typical is the handwringing: the NYT quotes an unnamed DOJ official as saying “The unfair treatment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just watched this beautiful video clip from a 1994 interview with Dick Cheney.  &#8220;Gulf War I : Desert Storm&#8221; had just concluded and he was asked to defend the Father&#8217;s decision not to take it to Saddam.  He responds eloquently, presenting a case which is well thought out and entirely correct.  [...]]]></description>
