		<description><![CDATA[It has been a pretty exciting week for those who follow the news, and I&#8217;ve noticed considerable glee within the liberal blogosphere: Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s News Corporation has finally crossed a line that has raised the ire of the British government, audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, and prompted an investigation by the Department of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine who practices Constitutional law sent me a link the other day to a Radley Balko post (on Reason.com) highlighting Senator Orrin Hatch&#8217;s recent effort to compel the Department of Justice to spend more money investigating adult pornography. I immediately returned the favor by informing him that Utah &#8211; Hatch&#8217;s home state [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times created a cool interactive exercise to solve both short- and long-term federal budget problems. It&#8217;s a lot of fun and will open your eyes to exactly what is at stake. You can play for yourself here. The lesson is to keep no sacred cows. I used a combination of spending cuts [...]]]></description>

The internet is no doubt buzzing with similar discussions, but I think my points are salient. If you haven&#8217;t seen the interview, please spend the time to watch; it was good television. Here is the uncut [...]]]></description>

[The Senate] is, in fact, the final arbiter of the sharing of prosperity. The laws it permits or compels, the laws it refuses to permit, the interpreters of laws it permits to be appointed &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Dennis Prager a closet progressive? I must admit that before reading his November 2nd trollop from NRO/NPR, he was unknown to me. But while writing a response to that op-ed, I perused his website and came away shaking my head in disappointment. I don&#8217;t want to spend too much time on Mr. Prager, since [...]]]></description>

Dennis Prager, a syndicated radio talk-show host and columnist for the National Review Online, wrote a piece that was published on the NPR website November 2nd. It explains his reasoning for straight-ticket voting, and the argument deserves a response. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
