		<description><![CDATA[Since I am based in California, much of the past season&#8217;s holiday conversation covered an unfortunate topic: the housing market. More specifically, we had more than a few family and friends in various stages of mortgage distress, from being underwater to walking away. Some people were slightly embarrassed about their situation but in an era [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The upset results of the Massachusetts US Senate special election are being widely dissected by pundits looking for explanations and ramifications coming out of this election. The obvious culprit  is &#8220;Obamacare&#8221; but as with most things in life, the explanation is not so singular. However, make no mistake: President Obama bears nearly full blame for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A follow-up on last week&#8217;s post on the myth of American overconsumption, the Wall Street Journal has two extended articles which illustrate some of the depth of the US health care crisis. Readers will recall Michael Santoli&#8217;s assertion that most of the growth in consumer spending over the last few decades was due to rising [...]]]></description>

Ritholtz sees little difference between Obama&#8217;s financial sector polices and those of his predecessor. Speaking as a supporter of Obama during the election campaign, I must agree with Ritholtz. The Obama administration has neutered every attempt at serious reform [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FC Barcelona are your 2009 Champions League winners with a surprisingly dominant performance over the favored Manchester United. Barca won despite a makeshift backline due to injuries and suspensions and with no true standout performance even though Xavi won Man of the Match. Frankly, I don&#8217;t know what happened to ManU &#8212; that&#8217;s not the [...]]]></description>

All odds from www.betus.com: Middleweight Championship: Anderson Silva (-600) vs. Thales Leites (+350) Leites is a pretty weak challenger with a less than impressive resume leading up [...]]]></description>

Nevertheless, I noticed a front-page article on China&#8217;s &#8220;tough talk&#8221; on the U.S. fiscal situation. Penned by Kevin G. Hall, this piece reminded me why I don&#8217;t read the Sac Bee. [...]]]></description>
