		<description><![CDATA[Recent unemployment figures reveal the daunting dimensions of the job crisis. Unemployment stands at 10.2 percent, and underemployment &#8212; those who have given up looking or who have taken part-time jobs &#8212; is at a mind-numbing 17.5 percent: almost one in five. In this greatest crisis since the Great Depression, many Americans are becoming desperate [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;How would same-sex marriage hurt your marriage?&#8221; Advocates of changing our marriage laws tell us this is an unanswerable question.
A typical couple &#8212; Mary and John, married for 15 years &#8212; may find it tough to answer. That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s the wrong question. Mary and John won&#8217;t stop loving each other or be bounced out [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;flying imams&#8221; and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are declaring victory in their legal war against law-enforcement personnel and safety procedures at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Their &#8220;victory&#8221; &#8212; aided and abetted by a judge arrogantly dismissive of law-enforcement realities &#8212; is a major setback for transportation safety.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The progress of women over recent decades has been extraordinary,&#8221; write researchers at the University of Pennsylvania&#8217;s Wharton School in a much-discussed new study.
