		<description><![CDATA[	Yeah, don&#8217;t everybody?

	After all, &#8220;Jones&#8221; is the most common last name in Wales, the second-most common last name in Britain, and the fourth-most common last name in the United States. These facts were apparently known to Gethin Jones, Cardiff-born TV presenter, who took it upon himself to host a&#8230;Jones extravaganza.

		<description><![CDATA[	In 2004, after narrowly defeating John Kerry, President Bush boasted he had earned political capital and he intended to spend it.

	What political capital, then, have Democrats just earned?

	The dust has settled, most of the results are now in, and for Republicans, the results are not good.  Democrats have taken solid control of the House, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	So reported major French newspapers on Tuesday, October 31. It seems the celebration of Halloween which was pushed in France in the late 1990s is losing popularity. The daily French newspaper Le Monde quoted the head of costume company Cesar who said that Halloween in France is &#8220;pretty much buried&#8221; due to &#8220;a cultural reaction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Today President Bush signed legislation legalizing 700 miles of new fencing along the porous Mexican border to complement the meager 90 miles of fencing already present. The bill also authorizes an additional 1500 border patrol troops.

	At the bill signing, the President urged Congress to find a solution for illegal aliens already in the country, namely [...]]]></description>

	The AP has written a recent article documenting how more and more schools are banning games like dodgeball, touch football, tag, and &#8220;any other unsupervised chase game.&#8221;  The reason?  [...]]]></description>

	The Natura Christian Fellowship has 36,000 members so far and, according to an advisor of the fellowship, attracts Christians who want to live a &#8220;naturist&#8221; lifestyle. The advisor also said that their group has seen naturalist facilities that turned into sex facilities, and [...]]]></description>

No one can defend Foley&#8217;s actions of course, but it would also be hard to defend the actions of any politician who knew what Foley was up to and failed to do his utmost to stop it.
