		<description><![CDATA[From Salon
By Joe Conason
It wasn&#8217;t surprising when, after seven months of legal wrangling, the Minnesota Supreme Court declared that Al Franken had won the 2008 Senate race against incumbent Norm Coleman. Still less surprising (although vastly more entertaining) was the simultaneous breakdown of nearly all of Franken&#8217;s adversaries on the right, whose regurgitated insults, whining [...]]]></description>

By Matt Taibbi
From Matt Taibbi&#8217;s &#8220;The Great American Bubble Machine&#8221; in Rolling Stone Issue 1082-83.
The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it&#8217;s everywhere. The world&#8217;s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that [...]]]></description>

By Glenn Greenwald
There are several noteworthy developments since I wrote on Tuesday about the refusal of NPR&#8217;s Ombdusman, Alica Shepard, to be interviewed by me about NPR&#8217;s ban on using the word &#8220;torture&#8221; to describe the Bush administration&#8217;s interrogation tactics.  Given the utter vapidity of her rationale (&#8221;there are two sides to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Harpers
By Scott Horton
Often enough, commentators talk about the prospect that some foreign prosecutors will open criminal cases against Americans involved in some of the Bush Administration’s criminal enterprises, such as the operation of the torture black sites. But such cases are not speculative. They are already pending, and the most advanced of them is [...]]]></description>

By Chalmers Johnson
The U.S. Empire of Bases &#8212; at $102 billion a year already the world&#8217;s costliest military enterprise &#8212; just got a good deal more expensive. As a start, on May 27th, we learned that the State Department will build a new &#8220;embassy&#8221; in Islamabad, Pakistan, which at $736 million will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Global Research
By Michael Hudson
Happy-face media reporting of economic news is providing the usual upbeat spin on Friday’s debt-deflation statistics. The Commerce Department’s National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) for May show that U.S. “savings” are now absorbing 6.9 percent of income.      
I put the word “savings” in quotation marks [...]]]></description>

By Joe Conason
If Americans hope to discuss health care, climate change, green economics or public infrastructure with any degree of realism, then the time has come to acknowledge that hearing someone say “a trillion dollars” is no reason to panic.  Politicians and pundits cite that figure to argue that we cannot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Common Dreams
By Dean Baker
The House&#8217;s passage of the Waxman-Markey bill raises the possibility that the United States will finally do something on global warming. This prospect has the industry hacks screaming at top volume about the horrible fate that awaits the economy. Everyone should know not to take them seriously, as I will explain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From NY Times
By Paul Krugman
So the House passed the Waxman-Markey climate-change bill. In political terms, it was a remarkable achievement.
But 212 representatives voted no. A handful of these no votes came from representatives who considered the bill too weak, but most rejected the bill because they rejected the whole notion that we have to do [...]]]></description>
