		<description><![CDATA[The author of the article likens it to a Tennesee Williams play. Mary Landrieu sold out the country for $300 million, not $100 million as previously reported. Dana Milbank is right. It is a play but nothing really like those from Williams. 
The script has become old and worn from overuse and the lines have [...]]]></description>

Eh, not so much. This is Cooper.
On November 7, 2009:
Nevertheless, the Nashville Democrat planned to vote in favor of the $1.1 trillion package.
&#8220;My vote is not an endorsement of all the provisions of the bill because I find much of the bill to be deeply flawed,&#8221; Cooper said in a written statement issued [...]]]></description>

But I find the liberal Democrats, with the drive-by media&#8217;s help, use of his passing as a way to shove socialized healthcare down our throats very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, that&#8217;s right, Governor. The criticism of you and President Obama is because you&#8217;re Black. That&#8217;s much easier to accept than the truth: it&#8217;s because you&#8217;re incompetent. 
Gov. Paterson says people &#8216;nervous&#8217; over minorities in office; White House: Obama doesn&#8217;t agree

There is no point in being outraged, really there isn&#8217;t.
&#8220;Rush Limbaugh, &#8216;I hope the country fails&#8217; &#8212; I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? &#8230; He needs a good waterboarding, that&#8217;s what he needs.&#8221;
Obama joined the crowd in laughing at the crack about Limbaugh&#8217;s &#8220;kidneys.&#8221;
 
Apparently, it&#8217;s funny to wish death on someone.

We have a Sims government.
I sincerely think our government is playing either Sims2 or Sims Societies to figure out what to do in their jobs.  In real life, the solutions they&#8217;re putting forth don&#8217;t work and will never work. [...]]]></description>

Ironically, with all the press about Obama and his teleprompter fixation, I was reminded of this game, which I long ago [...]]]></description>
