		<description><![CDATA[A better question would be: When did we stop being better off?
I can point to a personal timeline when things started going South into the &#8220;not better off&#8221; category. In 2000, there was a lot of griping over the presidential election but that&#8217;s not when things started going bad. Although there was the contested election [...]]]></description>

I always appreciate NRO, even during the times I heartily disagree with them. And this piece is part of the reason why:

Senator John McCain&#8217;s ascendancy in the Republican presidential race has been truly remarkable. Yet, it&#8217;s no groundswell.

While the media is deciding who will be the next president, Russia is flexing its muscles in anticipation of a much weakened United States. China has already thrown its weight around and continues to do so. In addition, they court our enemies. 
In the meantime our politicians promise us the moon while they chip [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking (sometimes a dangerous thing). With all the demoguogery aimed at the military and the almost sure Democratic victory in &#8216;08, there&#8217;s a lot to ponder.
 During the Clinton years, the military was gutted, greatly defunded, and benefits taken away from retirees and some taken away from short timers, too.  Other changes that occurred over time [...]]]></description>

I thought, given the absolute bust all of last week was, I&#8217;d be behind in the news and happenings but, really, I&#8217;m not. It&#8217;s more of the same that&#8217;s been happening for too long to recount. Pelosi and Company are still trying to defeat the U.S without regard to [...]]]></description>

The definition of melodramatric: n.
1. (used with a sing. verb) Melodramatic theatrical performance.
2. (used with a pl. verb) Exaggeratedly emotional behavior; histrionics. (emphasis mine)
I really do wonder if it&#8217;s me. You see, I don&#8217;t know what all the fuss is about concerning the Iraq war. I&#8217;ve asked questions but no real answers seem to be [...]]]></description>
