		<title>New Terms Needed For Unprecedented Circumstances</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To be succinct, I agree with everything Scott Lemieux says about the Op-Ed in The New York Times by Barry Friedman and Andrew Martin. I would add though that what seems to be the biggest problem with the column is that the writers really don&#8217;t seem to have any idea how a filibuster works. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fred Hiatt&#8217;s Most Shameful Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve basically been at the point where very little that shows up in The Washington Post, especially on the Op-Ed page, surprises me anymore. I&#8217;m not really sure how Fred Hiatt views his job responsibilities, but it&#8217;s been clear for some time that the practical impact of whatever it is Hiatt thinks is that conservatives [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Not Democrats Fault Republicans Are Tremendous Hacks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jamison Foser does some digging, and finds that not only did the media not think budget reconcilliation was some great evil when Republicans used them to pass Bush&#8217;s 2003 tax cuts on a 50-50 vote, they basically didn&#8217;t even realize the process existed, even though they&#8217;re pretty much obsessed with it now, and largely convinced [...]]]></description>

		<title>People Want Basic Services, Don&#8217;t Want to Pay For Them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know whether to laugh or cry at this story. Basically, Arizona is facing a huge budget shortfall, the largest in the country relative to overall size of the budget, and as part of an effort to cut costs, they&#8217;re closing a number of interstate rest stops. Predictably motorists and truckers aren&#8217;t very happy [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Take on Rahm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m saying this, but David Broder actually had a good column yesterday, successfully bringing an insider&#8217;s knowledge and veteran&#8217;s perspective to put something of a dampening on the round of Rahmapalooza that&#8217;s broken out in the past week. The articles in the Post were mostly awful, not really giving you much insight [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Place To Be For Lying Republicans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really try not to focus too much on the Washington Post Op-Ed page, because if I did I could basically have a dedicated blog, and that&#8217;s not what I want. Still, when they do things like run this blatantly dishonest guest Op-Ed from Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, you really can&#8217;t ignore it. Plenty of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Washington Post&#8217;s Problem With Reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post ran two columns this morning coming down somewhere between disdainful and skeptical about costs associated with healthcare reform. Chait already did a good job dealing with Fred Hiatt&#8217;s column, but I&#8217;d prefer to engage the much worse column from (surprise!) Robert Samuelson. This seems to be the key graf from the column:
