He stood on the floor of the Wisconsin Assembly delivering a sarcastic stem-winder, criticizing the new state budget so dramatically that it sounded as if he were auditioning for a community theater production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Pocan, who seems destined to inherit [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wisconsin isn&#8217;t facing a $3.3 billion deficit because taxes aren&#8217;t high enough.  Revenue has dropped because, due to high unemployment, there simply aren&#8217;t enough people paying taxes.  To fill the deficit, instead of creating new taxes, Governor Scott Walker had decided to create new taxpayers. It&#8217;s been well publicized that Walker intends to create new [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Begin reading Mark Twain&#8217;s novel &#8220;The Gilded Age,&#8221; and you&#8217;ll discover a fascinating and humorous story about settlers in early Missouri.  Its pages contain love, intrigue, and adventure. But then, in Chapter 15, Twain (along with his co-writer Charles Dudley Warner) launches a broadside attack on Congress.  See if this sounds at all familiar: “If [&#8230;]]]></description>

The Tea Party movement is wonderful.&#160; It gets people involved in the political process who normally never would.&#160; It forces viewpoints into the public that are sometimes hard to find.&#160; And Tea Parties irritate just the right people.&#160; They are on their way to being the most important movement for [&#8230;]]]></description>

Bentley, 1908 Americans all agree – there is no more vulgar term in politics than the label “special interest.” “Special interests” are blamed for all the worst government failures – the economy, health care costs, rising fuel prices, Joe Biden’s hair plugs.
