		<description><![CDATA[Good for Rachel Maddow, who will join MSNBC&#8217;s news/talk show lineup Sept. 8 with her own program in the time slot now  occupied by Dan Abrams&#8217; &#8220;The Verdict.&#8221;

As an MSNBC guest and stand-in host, Maddow has exhibited intelligence, insight, good humor and professionalism in line with the network&#8217;s most popular host, Keith Olbermann.

		<title>CNN high on Biden? Where&#8217;s the catch?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, look who&#8217;s talking up Sen. Joe Biden&#8217;s prospects to become Sen. Barack Obama&#8217;s running mate.
Why, it&#8217;s none other than Democrat-averse CNN, on its Politicalticker blog: 
The longtime Delaware senator and former presidential candidate has long been considered to be on the shortlist for Barack Obama&#8217;s running mate, but his quickly-planned trip to Georgia Saturday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Additional thoughts about plug-in hybrids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Go to trade in a five-year-old Volt and the fact it will only have four to five more years of battery life will weigh heavily in how much you’re allowed. That means you’ll have to spend even more for a new car. . .]]></description>

		<title>Will consumers Volt with their dollars?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally a concept-car of sport-coupe design, the Volt is morphing into a slick hatchback built over a five-foot lithium ion battery pack and small gas-powered motor. The plan is for the Volt to run at least 40 miles on a full charge from any wall outlet before the gas motor kicks in to keep it going.]]></description>

		<title>Latest troop surge: donating to Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s becoming clear our troops have made a determination about whom they prefer to be their commander in chief come January 2009:  "According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain. . ."]]></description>

		<title>Bush &#038; Co. makes war a bottom-line bonanza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rachel Maddow today cited a Congressional Budget Office study showing private contractors, 190,000 strong, far outnumber U.S. military forces in Iraq. . . .The factoid triggered our thought that if the Roosevelt Administration had used the same approach for World War II, it probably would’ve dragged on for 10 years instead of four, ending in stalemate or defeat, not victory.]]></description>

		<title>Voters silly as pundits? Pass the aspirin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Last month, the Republicans were trying to insinuate that Obama&#8217;s predilections for exercise, organic tea and chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars somehow disqualified him from the presidency. Now they&#8217;re saying that spending a week near his childhood home — and his elderly grandmother — is proof of his snobbery.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s hoping that America&#8217;s voters aren&#8217;t as silly [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCain DAV speech leaves them wanting less</title>

		<title>Roberts plays race card on &#8216;This Week&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This latest crap-for-brains utterance shows how nauseatingly hard up Roberts is for something — anything — with which to put Obama down. And how willing she is to overreach for a barely camouflaged racist insinuation in the process.]]></description>
