		<title>Economics, a Rare Breed, Pelosi&#8217;s Comeback &amp; Rasmussen&#8217;s Bias</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Mr. President, Please Call Paul Krugman! As usual, Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman was right.  President Obama&#8217;s jobs &#38; tax cut bill (i.e. the stimulus) was too small.  Krugman, economist Dean Baker, Joe Stiglitz (also a Nobel winner) and some members of the Obama economic team (is this why Christina Romer left?) knew it at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>What did they just buy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Follow the Money Here&#8217;s a partial breakdown of what the five Republican hacks on the US Supreme Court did to our democracy with their Citizens&#8217; United travesty.  Secret, multinational corporate donors and anonymous radicals own our elections and a $250 million plus share of the Republican House of Representatives.  The total spending of this election will probably total over $4 billion, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Road Ahead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ There are three phases to think about: (1) the lame duck session, (2) the new Congress, and (3) the 2012 campaign (which starts now). The Lame Duck Session It&#8217;s likely that nothing big will happen, although it should if Democrats believe in their agenda.  Yesterday was no mandate for the Republican party, which is still [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re Back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now&#8217;s as good a time as any to start the mad rush to 2012! Republicans will win back the House tonight and probably take 9 of the 10 seats they need for the Senate. It&#8217;s easy to imagine a Nelson &#38; Joe L switching to the Republican caucus if it gets close enough to give [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Judge, Not an Umpire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In advance of the upcoming Supreme Court nomination process, Professor Geoffrey Stone has written an excellent piece rejecting the recent recasting the role of a Supreme Court Justice as &#8220;umpire&#8221; and demonstrating how the conservative Rehnquist/Roberts Court has performed a function opposite to that set forth by the Framers of the Constitution. Justices are jurists, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Election Fraud Front &amp; Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What should be done to an organization that engaged in illegal, unethical electioneering on behalf of a successful presidential candidate in a swing state that made all the difference? Defund it? Prosecute it? Make a documentary? How about all of the above? And would it make a difference if the story involved the Republican National [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey Big Spender!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lucky those &#8220;family values&#8221; voters contributed to the Republican Party.  Now, they get to see what they got in return: strippers. Beyond the irony, it&#8217;s clear that the family values folks got ripped off.  When corporate lobbyists contribute to the RNC, they don&#8217;t get topless dancers, they get a political red light district.  Why the [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Sums it Up Nicely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One can be criticized for making policy disputes into good versus evil dichotomies, but the Republicans make it so easy!  When one side resorts to terrorism (attempting to achieve political ends through violence or the threat of violence in a civilian context), racism, and over-the-top hate-speech, what else can one conclude? The bad guys have [...]]]></description>
