		<description><![CDATA[The Dems aren&#8217;t the ones refusing to compromise. In fact, they&#8217;re bending over backwards to try to compromise with each other and get ANY, even one or two Republican votes. No one is budging. The stakes have gotten way too high to hold to a non-legislated procedural rule.

		<description><![CDATA[For awhile there, it looked like all the paranoid cyberpunk fiction of the 80s and early 90s was just silly.

Best moment
The US electing Obama.
Worst moment
Katrina. Yes, it was worse than 9/11. Sorry, it just was. 9/11 may have had a more profound impact on world events and American politics, but ultimately Katrina was a far more horrifying event. (note: I realize this is a profoundly American view. The worst [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It struck me the other day that Mike Bloomberg is the last &#8220;real&#8221; Republican; i.e. in the sense that he runs a tight a fiscal ship, wants government to stay out of personal lives (libertarians would cite the smoking policies as a major exception), he sells out the poor, he fights the unions and he&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
