This tax measure lopped off taxes primarily on the very wealthy and the result was an exponential increase in the amount of wealth at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conservatives sure lack originality. All the great artists and designers are all liberals and it really showed yesterday. Let us first address the milieu of the protest name: Tea Party. That is no conservative sounding event. Without the Boston in front of it, it sounds, well, kind of dainty.  Don&#8217;t you think? And having [...]]]></description>

More than half of them, roughly 57 percent come from Mexico and another 24 percent make their way here illegally from other Latin American countries. Many of these immigrants fill jobs that others are unwilling to do, or at least that was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why can&#8217;t we come to the realization that Americans have lost the ability to make good automobiles? The answer to the current automobile crisis is to chop the head off of the American manufacturers and replace them with Japanese. If this sounds radical, well, it is but if these companies were run by our friends [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Around the turn of the 20th century there began a policy to ensure safe food in this nation. Progressives began exposing the ills of the nation&#8217;s food supply which had been singled out in the great American socialist author and later politician Upton Sinclair&#8217;s novel The Jungle. Sinclair&#8217;s president at the time was Republican Teddy [...]]]></description>

On a day when oil prices rocketed to $140 a barrel based purely on speculation of future oil prices it is time to let your Congressmen know how you feel about this issue. You can guarantee I will be sending out some letters tonight.

Last week we saw McCain, Clinton and Obama all speak before AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee). As a Presidential candidate, no matter your true feelings about Israel, it is imperative to have the Jewish lobby on your side. It is very similar to the fact you must proclaim to be Christian to be President [...]]]></description>

&#34;I don&#8217;t need this much space,&#34; McHugh said of his SUV. &#34;It just seems ridiculous.&#34;

&#8212;&#8212;Did it take a spike in gas prices to realize this?
