		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been without cable television for about two and a half years, and overall that absence hasn&#8217;t done me a lick of harm. And while it would be nice to watch six hours of M*A*S*H* before going to bed, there isn&#8217;t much I&#8217;m missing out on&#8230;except Stewart and Colbert. I swear, I&#8217;d pay just to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If, like me, you're the kind of person that loves wasting the hours away by watching the degenerative brain candy that is cable news, then you've no doubt heard that reliable old political nugget "class warfare" bandied about quite a bit lately in regards to the tax policies of our new President. This is especially true if, like me, you sometimes tune into those cable news channels that focus ostensibly on "business" such as CNBC, or that bastion of fair-and-balanced reporting, FOX News, both of which have been busy mustering their troops to prepare to face this conflict head on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After it came to pass that CNBC analyst Rick Santelli's seemingly spontaneous tirade on the floor of the Chicago Commodities Exchange, calling for a Chicago Tea Party and lambasting the President's plan to bailout homeowners was anything but spontaneous and was in fact part of a viral marketing campaign instituted by some of Conservatism's most nefarious powers-that-be, CNBC's already tenuous grasp on respectability was loosened significantly if not completely erased]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After Barack Obama laid down the pwn in last night's Presidential Address, the Republicans trotted out their "rising star" Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to try to put a new face on their same old tired shit. Check out the clip above, from MSNBC's live coverage of the speech last night, in which someone (most likely Chris Matthews) foreshadows this trip to economic fantasy-land, muttering off-camera "Oh God..." as Jindal enters the room.]]></description>

 It is a pretty well-known fact at this point that President Barack Obama smokes.  This has sparked a great deal of controversy, asking the question, should United States citizens demand that their president quit?
