		<description><![CDATA[Almost everybody&#8217;s got their noses out of joint these days &#8212; and no wonder. If there&#8217;s a significant American institution that hasn&#8217;t failed in its fundamental public responsibility over the past decade, it&#8217;d be hard to identify.
Writing in Time, Christopher Hayes puts it succinctly: &#8220;(N)early every pillar institution in American society &#8212; whether it&#8217;s General [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No one should be shocked by a Republican National Committee fundraising document recently uncovered by Politico. With condescension bordering upon satire, it divides potential GOP donors into two groups: simple-minded dimwits and wealthy egotists.
The key to raising cash from small donors, according to a PowerPoint presentation given by RNC operatives Rob Bickhart and Peter Terpeluk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s get one thing straight, as the nation&#8217;s esteemed TV news networks appear determined to obscure simple facts for ratings-building melodrama. The U.S. Senate has already passed the Obama administration&#8217;s healthcare reforms by a filibuster-proof majority. If Speaker Nancy Pelosi can persuade a majority of House Democrats to pass the Senate bill, that&#8217;s the ballgame. [...]]]></description>

The reality, of course, is that much of the electorate is so poorly informed that it&#8217;s a wonder our political system works as well as it does, which many think is [...]]]></description>

Riddled with cancer, the 85-year-old segregationist killed himself with a deer rifle at the Conway home he called &#8220;Whitehaven&#8221; &#8212; the name his way of telling critics of his racial views, he once told an [...]]]></description>

Race, Giving GOP 41-59 Majority in the Senate.&#8221; On CBS Evening News, Katie Couric brightly informed her audience that the former Cosmopolitan centerfold model&#8217;s swearing-in gave Republicans the power to defeat all of President Obama&#8217;s initiatives.

		<description><![CDATA[If President Obama&#8217;s recent face-to-face meeting with congressional Republicans had been a prizefight, they&#8217;d have stopped it: Obama by TKO. It was such a mismatch that Fox News, unofficial network of the GOP, basically conceded defeat by cutting away 20 minutes before it ended. Other networks showed it all.
Republicans appeared to make the elementary mistake [...]]]></description>
