		<description><![CDATA[I watched Obama&#8217;s interview with George Stephanopoulos, part of Sunday morning&#8217;s talk show blitz (he went on five talk shows on Sunday morning), in which he made some incredibly revealing statements about health care and other issues he is currently facing. In the campaign, Obama famously promised not to raise taxes on families making less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent announcement that the Obama administration has committed to financing $2 billion dollars worth of drilling for oil off the coast of Brazil, a few questions come to mind. It&#8217;s interesting that in last year&#8217;s campaign, when McCain was proposing a multi-faceted energy program that included nuclear, clean coal, and increased domestic oil [...]]]></description>

The police in Peoria, IL now have a big truck that they drive around and park in front of suspected (read *unprosecuted, unconvicted*) criminals&#8217; houses in order to shame them into submission or leaving [...]]]></description>
