		<description><![CDATA[I believe what you mean is we should raise taxes, rather than add a new one.
Speaking at a security conference in San Francisco, Microsoft Vice President for Trustworthy Computing Scott Charney pitched the Web usage fee as one way to subsidize efforts to combat emerging cyber threats &#8212; a costly venture, he said, but one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The European Union is no longer charmed, it seems.
&#8220;We want to see a strong and united Europe, speaking with one voice. In the best of all possible worlds, that one voice will be saying what we want to hear,&#8221; Mr. Gordon said, according to the Web site of Britain&#8217;s Economist magazine. &#8220;If it is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Castro and Chavez say the United States is occupying Haiti. Yet their own responses to Haiti leave a lot to be desired.
In my mind, one reason the military is best to send into disaster situations is so tin-pot dictators can&#8217;t do what they&#8217;re accusing of us doing. We have a history of doing what we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s one of the stupider comments coming from the media to congratulate Americans for now owning car companies. We don&#8217;t and won&#8217;t. The government owns them which is, and has been for awhile now, a totally separate entity from the people it&#8217;s supposed to be serving. If there is money made, which is doubtful, it [...]]]></description>

Fifth paragraph in:
We seem to be moving steadily in the direction of a society where no one is responsible for what he [...]]]></description>

How many more will follow Mr. Jenkins lead, now that Congress has decided to play moral dictator over .1% of the bailout money going to people who it seems, for the most part had nothing to do with AIG&#8217;s meltdown? If enough of them do, I think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Listening to Fox News for once. Obama has been in front of the cameras for the umpteenth time since before taking office. Frankly, he bores me because all he knows how to do is talk. Talk, talk, talk.
In other news, there are no less than 5 major media outlets calling for Daschle to step down. [...]]]></description>

First up:
&#8220;What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them &#8211; that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.&#8221;

Nice of him to finally admit he&#8217;s not a conservative, which is tantamount to admitting he&#8217;s not a Reaganite, either. Of course, he lost because of Conservatism but whose fault is that? The Conservatives&#8217; or McCain&#8217;s?
