		<description><![CDATA[The Middle-East governments long empowered by the U.S. government in order to maintain a carefully orchestrated status-quo are being clawed at and in several wonderful instances, have been torn down. Obama, now wants to give Tunisia and Egypt a shit-ton of money because they are the &#8220;best positioned countries to serve as role models for democratic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny seeing the awkward &#8220;uhhhs&#8221; and &#8220;umms&#8221; being muttered after every word as U.S. officials try to formulate their praise for the revolt in Egypt. They absolutely hate what is happening, but as &#8216;defenders of freedom and democracy&#8217; they are forced to applaud the fall of a dictator, even if they financed his very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching a bunch of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts&#8217; videos lately, and I especially have been enjoying their animated lectures. There&#8217;s one narrated by Jeremy Rifkin that talks about the myths of human nature and the need to achieve an empathic civilization. It raises important issues about human consciousness and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Helen Thomas&#8217; recent comments, however inartful they may have been, are essentially correct. The Zionist government of Israel needs to be dissolved. While the Rachel Corrie and her passengers were not killed like previous attempts to bring aid to Gaza, the aid supplies were again prevented from reaching a people that desperately need them. The crimes against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent unfortunate events of Israel&#8217;s storming of a flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip with aid supplies, one hopes (futilely) that the U.S. rethinks its relationship with the apartheid state of Israel. Though even as I am writing this draft, sources are coming out everywhere denying any possibility of this, with even our [...]]]></description>
