		<description><![CDATA[Today Jill Miller Zimon ranted about “throwing around” the terms “Socialist!” and      “Communist!”. Her reasoning seemed to be that Bush also advances socialist policies, therefore it’s “stupid” to call a spade a spade.
Since Jill included a definition of “stupid”, I was hoping she’d include a definition for socialism too so [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The Houston Chronicle today has the headline U.S. gives $40 billion to save AIG, gets ownership stake – shouldn’t that read “U.S. takes $40 billion to save AIG, gets ownership stake”?
