		<description><![CDATA[No one can look at the horror of Haiti and not feel both a deep sense of sadness and a desire to help. It seems almost mean and selfish to suggest that we need to do something other than provide our full support to this devastated nation, but that&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;m about to do.

		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s time I weighed in on the New Jersey election results. Some in the GOP (Chairman Michael Steele, for example) are claiming &#8220;historic&#8221; victories. Others, most notably Democrat Nancy Pelosi, are doing their level best to completely ignore the gubernatorial election results. That&#8217;s right, Nancy. If you close your eyes, it never happened.

		<description><![CDATA[Let me be clear: this isn&#8217;t about the fact that yet another dude has hung his chad.
