		<description><![CDATA[People are mad as hell and they&#8217;re not going to take it anymore. Which is about as close to coherence as the populist groundswell is likely to get. The President&#8217;s failure to get ahead of the tidal wave has really hurt him. His Spock-like reasonableness has not served him well. His soaring rhetoric is falling [...]]]></description>

Abel managed to extract his pound of flesh from the willing Democrats, trying to stave off collapse in California on behalf of a toothless Republican Governor. Putting his obnoxious opportunism aside for a moment, Abel&#8217;s high stakes poker [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s NYT, Paul Krugman wonders why we haven&#8217;t heard more about major healthcare reform in the first few days of the new administration.

He went out of his way to court the GOP on his stimulus bill, and despite an awful lot of bipartisan BS, not one voted knuckle-dragger for it.
