		<description><![CDATA[John Simon, the famous literary, theater and film critic, and self-proclaimed elitist, had this to say about democracy: &#8220;Democracy encourages the majority to decide things about which the majority is ignorant.” Couldn’t have put it better myself. A few years back, when people conveniently started forgetting what the war on terror was all about, some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow. What a difference a few months makes. A friend recently reminded me that politics consists of &#8220;campaigns&#8221; where to the victors go the spoils. &#8220;Playing the game&#8221; means &#8220;strategy&#8221; and &#8220;winning battles.&#8221; I always thought it was all about open dialog and solving our country&#8217;s numerous problems. Politics, especially in the richest country on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite comics (well, of the 80&#8242;s anyway) was a fellow named Kelly Monteith. He was/is a funny guy, but one bit of his in particular has stuck with me. &#8220;Have you ever noticed that there are only two types of drivers on the road? Idiots and Assholes 1.  Assholes drive faster than [...]]]></description>

Who gives a rat&#8217;s ass? Ironically, country crooner Kenny Chesney&#8217;s latest album will be released the same day. Chesney will outsell both of them, but I digress. I wish they&#8217;d both retire. [...]]]></description>

I am pro- and anti-ideas, not people. A perfect example of an irritation common to both parties is money: how it&#8217;s raised and how it&#8217;s spent. A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More hilarity from the Dems. Here we are, 14 months before the election and we&#8217;re having to listen to a bunch of Democrats expounding on why they&#8217;re better suited to being President than anyone else. Having debates this early in the process is self-defeating. By the time the election rolls around, it will feel like [...]]]></description>

An Indian judge named Radhabinod Pal is being honored more and more by the Japanese government and the Japanese press. Judge Pal was one of 11 presiding judges in the Tokyo Trials after World War II.

At issue is whether or not to let lapse the provisions of the antitrust settlement the Justice Department reached with Microsoft five years ago. No fanfare. No chest beating. In a very weird sort of reverse rationalization, [...]]]></description>
