		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s becoming increasingly clear that making the killing of the Jihadist Porn King public was a big mistake. Thereisnoplan has been saying this since the attack, generating much mirth amongst friends and associates. But I stand by the notion. Obama screwed up. If you remember, on the big night back in May, Obama made an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama&#8217;s not so secret letter to his counterpart in Russia, President Medvedev, seems like a strong beginning to a new, more robust and directed diplomacy. Applying an unspoken quid pro quo that the serious application of pressure by Russia on Iran to stem Tehran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions could mean the removal of the US nuclear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Rogue Elements&#8221; is a big word du jour right now. The idea that within an organization there&#8217;s often a fifth column conjures up all sorts of conspiracy theories about CIA spooks with their own twisted agendas. Usually, this stuff is confined to fiction or the far reachs of the blogosphere. But what happens when the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it takes an aging rock band to make a great point. Take Guns n&#8217; Roses new album, its first for seventeen years. The band&#8217;s insightful leader created a fabulous oxymoron, bringing together the words &#8220;Chinese&#8221; and &#8220;Democracy&#8221; for it&#8217;s title. Now that&#8217;s comedy.
