		<description><![CDATA[The buck stops at Barack Obama&#8217;s desk on this, and it&#8217;s not a good look. To my way of thinking, the irrational cruelty being imposed on Private Bradley Manning — as yet not convicted of ANYTHING — confirms his title, as mentioned recently by Julian Assange, as America&#8217;s foremost political prisoner. Burma&#8217;s heroic Aung San [...]]]></description>

CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper in his &#8216;Keeping Them Honest&#8217; slot this week debunked a nasty piece of work by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who, as he put it &#8220;used up our air time last night, rather than answering questions about Medicare&#8230;and she chose to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;This is a contact sport, politics. You can&#8217;t complain about being attacked.&#8221;  — Bill Clinton. He was probably quoting former US Senator Alan Simpson, who famously used the phrase &#8216;Politics is a contact sport&#8217; in his 2002 Peltason lecture, and ever since, invoking it to describe his good mate Teddy Kennedy&#8230; Politics is a contact [...]]]></description>

After digesting a pretty gruelling part of the history of English: 300 years of slavery, the settlement of America, the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the &#8216;end&#8217; of slavery, followed by the bankrupt introduction of Jim Crow laws and segregation, and [...]]]></description>
