		<title>Redrawing Northern California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On July 28, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission issued its final draft maps of California&#8217;s congressional and state legislature districts. A result of 2008&#8242;s Proposition 11 and 2010&#8242;s Proposition 20, the maps undid the 2001 bipartisan gerrymander and created districts respecting communities of interest and county lines (at least more than the previous version). The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Attack Palin and Bachmann for their terrible ideas, not their gender</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently while watching &#8220;Hardball&#8221; with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, a story disturbed me. The anchor was delving into the GOP candidates for President in 2012, and specifically talking about Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann&#8217;s intentions to run for President. To be clear, I dislike the two candidates a great deal, and both (if elected) will [...]]]></description>
