		<description><![CDATA[There’s snow on the ground outside our house in London and it’s so quiet that the smallest noises catch my attention. Everyone else is sleeping early on this Saturday morning. Not me. Having just returned from a whirlwind trip to Hong Kong and Singapore, my internal clock is still eight hours ahead. Sadly, I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading about the healthcare debate from afar is hard to take, but probably better for my own health than actually being Stateside. Here&#8217;s where I gather we are so far: The right wing is avoiding issues and instead working to frame the debate as fascism vs. independence. They appear to have fooled people into thinking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t want to write about the US election results right away. It seemed too immediate and too raw to be all that useful. With some time to reflect, here&#8217;s what occurs to me. I&#8217;m still not sure it&#8217;s worthwhile to anyone but me, but it is personally necessary. (If you&#8217;re reading this, it may [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So let&#8217;s see, the party of the &#8220;real America&#8221; believes undermining the right to vote is somehow a good thing. I suppose this shouldn&#8217;t be surprising given the myriad other shabby ways they have treated the principles that underpin our society, but still. (Yes, I know there isn&#8217;t an explicit right to vote in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, my. Dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann came out and publicly suggested Obama be investigated for holding &#8220;anti-American&#8221; views. She also thinks the media should investigate the rest of Congress to see if there are any other anti-American types hiding out, while noting that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid both hold &#8220;far-leftist views.&#8221; So apparently, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is just sad. McCain and the GOP are now resorting to automated negative phone calls in swing states. This after he had promised to run a dignified campaign, then went negative in a panic, then went positive again when he saw that it was costing him votes. I frankly never understood the Bushies&#8217; praise [...]]]></description>

Despite a veneer of competency, the man has always been something of a loose cannon. Go back to his military days, when he exercised extremely poor [...]]]></description>
