		<title>Colin Powell devastates McCain&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The presidential race is certainly heating up. This youtube clip is a devastating indictment of McCain by one of my favorite statesmen, Colin Powell. It is heartening to see that Colin Powell actually gives voice to the &#8220;disenfranchised&#8221; Republican. The Republican party had an opportunity to remake itself in this election cycle, it chose not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tectonic shift in Iraq&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NY Times has just published an article that points out an interesting emerging trend in Iraq. Young people have lost their faith in their religious leaders. Wow, unexpected.
