		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve listened to the darker ruminations on the cable news channels recently, you&#8217;ve probably heard someone say something to the effect that &#8220;the current crisis is the biggest systemic risk since the Great Depression&#8221;. I&#8217;m a high volume viewer of cable news, and I know I&#8217;ve heard just such language more than a dozen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In tonight&#8217;s California debate, McCain again displayed his utter lack of even a rudimentary understanding of economics. His shortcoming is somewhat muted since it is shared with two of the other combatants, all of the moderators and most of the assembled audience.



Hey Moe!


About 31 minutes into the debate, Volcanic Johnny is sure that there is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a sad homage to his neocon handlers, President Bush offered up a full slate of new spending initiatives and revenue reducing plans in last night&#8217;s State of the Union address. The President proposes new government programs to address health care, defense, &#8216;homeland security&#8217;, and for &#8216;educating the children&#8217;, in addition to various increases in [...]]]></description>
