		<description><![CDATA[This foolishness of Obama being a secret Muslim, like the hoopla over the so-called &#8220;Ground Zero Mosque,&#8221; only serves to take perfectly innocuous (yea even noble) ideals of faith and defaming them to the point that the mere mention of the words &#8220;Islam,&#8221; &#8220;Muslim&#8221; or &#8220;mosque&#8221; conjure up anxiety. The real issue is not whether [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with almost everything Joan Walsh says on Hardball today, and almost only the last thing proffered by the other two. Islam did not attack America on 9-11; terrorists did. Peace-loving, law-abiding Muslim Americans suffered losses as great on 9-11 and in the months that followed as any honored with the moniker &#8220;9-11 families.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s good to see more journalists and even adversarial pundits publicly acknowledge Obama&#8217;s pole numbers as a weakness in perception not in accomplishment&#8211;albeit a year late! Hopefully his top brass will hear and hire a better PR consultant. (Might I suggest my PR writing professor, Rodger LeGrand.)  Still, until Democrats can articulate their agenda and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am disgusted with the Arizona legislature&#8217;s reprise of fugitive slave laws allowing authorities to harass/detain anyone who looks like s/he might be an undocumented immigrant. I talked about it with my seniors in class today in connection with Doris Lessing&#8217;s post-colonial classic, The Grass Is Singing, which we are reading. Even now I am [...]]]></description>
