		<description><![CDATA[In general I would like to change the overall tenor of my blog away from the more polemical, reflections on the news-of-the-day, culture war sort, but something Mark Steyn recently wrote about Edward Kennedy summed up a lot of things for me.   Steyn is acerbic, clever and hilarious, the closest living writer we have to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years ago talk of term limits was all the rage when discussing the restoration of American democracy.  I think it&#8217;s time to bring such talk back.  Much of the current economic crisis can be laid at the steps of the Capitol building, but we keep electing them over and over.
