		<description><![CDATA[The images coming out of Japan concerning the earthquake and Tsunami of March 11th are devastating to see. Japanese citizens staring at water-scoured landscapes that were hours ago homes, villages, and roads.

		<description><![CDATA[ 
President Obama’s speech following the tragedy in Pima, Arizona was a call to action for everyone to stand down from invective, derisive speech. As I listened to President Obama admonish those who would be derisive rather than seek a more civilized common ground, my mind wandered…
I quickly realized that President Obama had pulled an Eddie Haskel; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The blind fervor and national maelstrom that was the lead-up to Obama&#8217;s historic inauguration promised not just Hope and Change, but there also existed a profound, vitriolic, in-your-face righteousness from the rabid left that, finally!, a smart man would be in charge of governing this great country; an educated intellectual would finally put us on track [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All of our current political issues boil down to one question: What is the role of government?
