		<description><![CDATA[A shouting match of ignorance. Why can no one talk about health care reform like an adult? Why does every discussion deteriorate into a fist fight within 2 minutes? I&#8217;m tired of baseless propaganda from both sides. The way I see it you have 2 options: You can just let Capitalism do its thing &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of C&#8217;s favorite authors is David Sedaris. She&#8217;s read his books (read aloud to me the good bits) and I&#8217;ve listened to them a few times as an audio book, and let me tell you they are always good for an awkward I-can-relate-to-that laugh. So when I read his piece in the New Yorker [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watch CBS Videos Online This video is only about a minute and a half, but it perfectly illustrates why Palin scares the living fuck out of me. Wonder why the Republicans aren&#8217;t letting her out to play outside of her protective sound-byte enhanced teleprompter speeches? This is absolutely cringe-worthy to watch. I&#8217;d like to see [...]]]></description>

It must be mid-term election time! Let the fear mongering begin&#8230;.]]></description>
