		<title>Election Night in Grant Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night an electrified 125,000 or so people gathered in Chicago’s Grant Park to hear Barack Obama give his first speech as President-Elect. Sure, a good portion of the night was spent watching CNN on a giant screen and I couldn’t actually see any part of the stage during the live speech, but this night [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is he really so friendly?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we’ve hit the ugly phase of this political campaign, I think that means we’re almost at the end. (Or most likely just right back to the next beginning.) There’s less than a month to go before the vote goes down, Barack Obama is pulling ahead with every collapse of the economy, and John McCain’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let’s get blunk in the place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently the Republican candidate for Vice President is qualified for office because Sarah Palin world champion caliber when it comes to staring contests. Several times in her recent interview with Charles Gibson she mentioned how when faced with a critical choice she didn’t/hasn’t/wouldn’t/won’t blink. She knows what she’s gonna do and doesn’t hesitate to go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flags everywhere gets tiresome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is another anniversary of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and of course the thwarted attempt at possibly the White House which ended in a Pennsylvania field. To mark the sad anniversary both presidential campaigns will be taking the day off, although we’re sure to hear plenty about their individual [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome to the big time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I’m kinda stuck on this John McCain character of late, but he keeps providing me with so much to talk about I can’t really help it. The latest is his surprising choice of Alaska governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. This inexperienced governor has been vaulted onto the national stage after less [...]]]></description>

		<title>Democracy, huh?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s now official; Barak Obama is the Democratic nominee for President. Sure, I’m happy about this. Despite a number of recent disappointments, I’ve been a big supporter of Obama as the best realistic option in this crazy thing our country calls an election for quite some time. But, I can’t help but be a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple slogans for simple ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read recently about Miller Beer reviving their popular late-80s slogan “tastes great, less filling.” The ad campaigns built around this platitude were very popular, and why shouldn’t they have been, it’s a simple slogan that explains a simple beer and that’s just great for selling low-end beverages.
Unfortunately Republican Presidential candidate John McCain is following [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Questions: John McCain Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the presidential race. It’s endless fun with its constant distractions from the real issues facing the country and its focus on style over substance and who can frame whom as what. Election time is months and months away so there’s still plenty of time for more gaffs and blunders. There’s also plenty of time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feigned outrage always works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John McCain’s campaign and the whole right wing got in an uproarious huff at the start of the week after retired General Wesley Clark made some comments pointing out John McCain’s military experience is not the type that would really prepare him for the whole Commander in Chief gig that comes free with the US [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just what is she running to</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past I’ve said Hillary Clinton should not be forced to end her quest for the Democratic presidential nomination until she is mathematically eliminated from the contest, and I’m sticking by that stance. It’s just that right now I’m not really seeing what she has to gain by staying in this thing.
It’s pretty easy [...]]]></description>
