		<description><![CDATA[Good advice always, but especially to these people: OMAHA, Neb. &#8212; A Malvern, Iowa couple was charged with misdemeanor child neglect after police said they left their 4-month-old daughter in their car while they got drunk in a west Omaha bar.

		<title>Are you too stupid to take Extra-Strength Tylenol?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An FDA panel has recommended limiting the tablet size of acetaminophen to 325 mg (&#8220;regular strength&#8221;) because taking too much can cause liver damage. &#8220;There is extensive evidence that hepatotoxicity (liver toxicity) caused by acetaminophen use may result from lack of consumer awareness that acetaminophen can cause severe liver injury,&#8221; the working group report said.

		<title>Summary of Obama&#8217;s introduction of Sonia Sotomayor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I happened to catch Obama&#8217;s speech introducing his new Supreme Court nominee earlier today. Here’s a summary: Because of her background, she is uniquely qualified to represent the poor and downtrodden. She went to private schools as a child, then to Princeton and Yale.

Ted Stevens in court today as a &#8220;trusted individual&#8221; and a man with a &#8220;sterling&#8221; reputation. &#8220;He was someone whose word you could rely on,&#8221; said Powell, secretary of state in President Bush&#8217;s first term, who self-deprecatingly [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCain suspends campaign to return the Senate; Reid says he&#8217;s not welcome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[McCain just announced he&#8217;s suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to deal with the financial crisis. &#8230; It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the Administration&#8217; proposal. &#8230;.

		<title>Hillary&#8217;s Odd Priorities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A coalition of American Jewish groups has scheduled a rally for Sept. 22 outside the UN, to protest the appearance of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This is not surprising, since Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of Jews worldwide. He is one of those people who denies that the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, apparently after Sarah Palin called herself a &#8220;hockey mom,&#8221; and joked that difference between a hockey mom and pit bull was &#8220;lipstick,&#8221; Barack Obama said, &#8220;If you p[ut lipstick on a pig, it&#8217;s still a pig.&#8221; Not surprisingly, the McCain campaign demanded an apology. So, Obama apologized &#8212; to the pig.]]></description>

		<title>Sarah Palin and the &#8220;Gender Gap&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone keeps asking if Sarah Palin will help the McCain ticket appeal to women voters &#8212; especially voters who preferred Hillary Clinton. What everyone seems to be missing is that Palin will appeal to men &#8212; perhaps even more. Liberal women who care more about liberalism than gender will not switch to McCain because he&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clinton vs. Palin?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re getting a bit ahead of ourselves here, but Rasmussen did a poll in which they asked who voters would prefer for President (not VP), Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton. The result: Clinton 52%, Palin 41%. Sounds bad for Palin until you remember: Clinton has been known nationwide for 16 years. Palin has been known [...]]]></description>

		<title>Liberals claim ANOTHER faked pregnancy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You will be pleased to know that the liberals at DailyKos and elsewhere who broke the rumor that Gov. Palin faked a pregnancy to cover up the &#8220;fact&#8221; that her youngest child is &#8220;really&#8221; her daughter Bristol&#8217;s, are not taking the announcement that Bristol is currently pregnant lying down. They&#8217;re now claiming that Bristol&#8217;s current [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sex, Hypocrisy, Bill Clinton, and Sarah Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that everyone on the left &#8212; from bloggers to CNN &#8212; are going on and on about the &#8220;hypocrisy&#8221; of Sarah Palin expressing pro-life values while her daughter was, um, &#8230; making a pro-life decision. And, advocating pre-marital abstinence, while her daughter was, likely without her knowledge, not acting according to that standard. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sexism at CNN</title>

		<title>Smearing Sarah Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It didn&#8217;t take long for the Democrats to come up with a preposterous smear of Sarah Palin &#8212; just going to show that they will say anything to discredit their opponents, no matter how nonsensical it is. This posting at DailyKos, the leading website of the liberal &#8220;netroots,&#8221; and its followup here, claim she faked [...]]]></description>
