		<description><![CDATA[I hadn't thought about the possibility of McCain withdrawing from the presidential race before November -- or not, in fact, securing the nomination at the Republican convention. Frank Dwyer's piece on the Huffington Post today about just such a possibility does not seem unfeasible when given some thought.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[...Please take some time to read this letter from Tiffany, originally sent to the blog Patterico's Pontifications:

    "...My name is Marcy Tiffany. I have been married to Alex Kozinski for over thirty years and we have raised three sons together. First, let me thank you for making the effort to discover the truth about what happened, and for giving me an opportunity to respond to the stories that have been circulating about Alex.

    Turning to the facts of the matter, the LA Times story, authored by Scott Glover, is riddled with half-truths, gross mischaracterizations and outright lies ..."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Los Angeles Times and other media today ran frantic stories noting how rising gasoline prices are prompting rises in mass transit ridership and telecommuting as well as altering vacation plans. Um. Yeah. Isn&#8217;t this all a given? Sadly, though, I guess it&#8217;s just another sign of our reactive society. Is it better late than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just saw this interesting post at Barack Oblogger. It&#8217;s a simple post, but it makes the point effectively. Despite the past week&#8217;s scuttlebutt over Hillary Clinton and &#8220;white, working class voters,&#8221; Barack Obama has won nominating contests in eight of the nation&#8217;s 15 whitest states (I&#8217;m trusting it&#8217;s quantified by a percentage of the overall [...]]]></description>

Amidst all the brouhaha over George Bush&#8217;s attack on Barack Obama in the Israeli Knesset was this hilarious (if grating) exchange between Hardball-host Chris Matthews and conservative pundit Kevin James. I never thought I&#8217;d be admiring Matthews twice in one year, let alone one week, but it has happened as he seized [...]]]></description>
