		<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[James Grant of Grant&#8217;s Interest Rate Observer put in an extended appearance on Bloomberg&#8217;s Taking Stock program this afternoon. You can find the clip here. With the recent recovery in credit markets, Grant is pulling back some from his &#8220;supercredit&#8221; portfolio, recommended in December 2008. He also sees currency debasement as an inevitability, due to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s what Barry Ritholtz over at the Big Picture is calling our President: Barack W. Obama. 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[CNBC&#8217;s coverage this morning in the wake of Obama&#8217;s budget plan is laughable and pathetic. Obama&#8217;s &#8220;War On Wealth&#8221;? Are they presenting news and analysis or is simply a monied version of conservative talk radio? On Obama&#8217;s budget plan, I confess ignorance to the fine details.

		<description><![CDATA[Regular readers are aware that I supported Barack Obama in the last election. Because I based my decision not on ideological grounds but on competency, I have no problem criticizing him for ineptitude. While it may seem a bit premature to criticize the man before he&#8217;s even taken office, I feel it is fair.  President-elect [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s also written a new book, The Post-American World, which I have not read.  While I don&#8217;t agree with him all of the time, I do find him insightful once you discount some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if yesterday was the happiest day of my political life.  Two other memories stand sharper in memory: Sometime during my college years (1998, I&#8217;m guessing), I went absolutely ballistic, skipping class upon hearing that Jesse &#8220;The Body&#8221; Ventura had won the governor&#8217;s race in MN.  I was completely apathetic then but had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska is your Republican candidate for VP.  You can quickly dig up stories on here so I won&#8217;t rehash but quite frankly, I can&#8217;t see how anyone would honestly call this a good move for McCain&#8217;s campaign. Short-term, it will move the DNC convention to the background as the media try to figure out who this Palin character is.  I remember reading a front-page WSJ story on [...]]]></description>

But readers can find fourth-rate ideological rantings on thousands of other sites so I will cut through the propoganda crap and look at [...]]]></description>

That said, McCain&#8217;s latest attack ad (you know, the one about Paris Hilton &#38; Britney Spears) strains even my jaded sensibilities. Republican elites have long displayed complete disregard for the intelligence of the American electorate (and with good reason) but this argument is completely inane (as a follow-up, [...]]]></description>
