		<description><![CDATA[There is little I can add to the heated discussion about the Komen Foundation&#8217;s decision to withdraw funding for breast examinations done by Planned Parenthood. If the reports are accurate, the decision reflects the fact that the Foundation is currently controlled by political conservatives hostile to Planned Parenthood, and that hostility trumped concerns for women&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

There are so many things I just don&#8217;t understand. There&#8217;s a toaster that embosses the face of Jesus on each piece of bread as it toasts. It is evidently selling briskly. There&#8217;s Newt Gingrich. [...]]]></description>

While I think President Obama is pretty darn smart, if current trends continue, he may also prove to be very, very lucky.

What contemporary Republicans are selling is reheated and reconstituted Social Darwinism. (And just for the record, Darwin never used the phrase &#8220;survival of the fittest.&#8221; Herbert [...]]]></description>

Although there are some similarities&#8211;mainly frustration with the status quo and anger at the political system&#8211;those comparisons ultimately fail. The Tea Party&#8211;to judge by its spokespersons, placards and photos of meetings&#8211;is a profoundly reactionary movement. Its slogan is &#8220;I Want My Country [...]]]></description>
