					<description><![CDATA[Let me start off by saying, I&#8217;m not a particularly political person. I care, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but I just prefer to do what I do best, staying in the pretty bubble of art, music and what-have-you. I am an A+E Editor, after all, not a political commentator! I rarely watch TV, but when [&#8230;]]]></description>
