		<description><![CDATA[The recent political circus in  Florida illustrates how foolish the Supreme Court was when they allowed the creation of Super PACs. Stephen Colbert excepted, this new political monster is going to make a bad system even worse. It reminds me of those old black and white Japanese movies when Godzilla crushes everything in its path.

You know, the villains of the Occupy Wall Street movement, those at the top of the economic pile. The question came up in his sociology class, the professor wanted to know how many students thought their families were [...]]]></description>
