		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I talk to people about politics, it tends to focus on what they don’t like about our government. People on the right or left both have issues that upset them, and one major complaint I hear is about how dysfunctional our Congress has been in the last few years. The weird thing is, most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems like with every Presidential election the campaigns start earlier and earlier. For months now, there’s been coverage of Republican Presidential hopefuls as they begin their exhausting cross-country routines. For the next year, these poor aspiring politicians will lose sleep nightly, repeat themselves daily, and spend millions just to get the chance to run [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s come a long way amid all the protests. The bill for Healthcare Reform passed just this past Saturday in the US House of Representatives. It is one of the most hotly debated topics in politics today. What is most controversial to people is the so-called &#8220;public option&#8221; that would give Americans the option of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Depending on how in tune you are to the nation’s legislative branch, you may or may not know that the House of Representatives just passed a healthcare bill. Presumably, it’ll make some meaningful changes in our healthcare system. I say presumably because it’s 2,000 pages, and that’s a lot to print. Honestly though, it makes [...]]]></description>

By unequal resources I mean that financially and academically, some public schools tend to get more funding than others and are also more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After reading the transcript of the president&#8217;s recent back-to-school speech, I couldn&#8217;t find anything even remotely controversial in his words. I&#8217;m not sure what is so controversial about encouraging students to stay in school and to work hard in school so that they&#8217;ll find success later in life. Maybe to certain people, the very idea [...]]]></description>

Just months ago, it wasn&#8217;t even clear who the Republican or Democratic nominees for president would be. The closing of the campaigns are either approaching fast or have already occurred, but there are still a lot of undecided voters [...]]]></description>
