		<description><![CDATA[In the corn-growing Midwest, members of Congress are picking sides over ethanol.

		<description><![CDATA[You’ll never believe this. Or maybe you will. At first blush it seemed ridiculous, but upon reflection it makes some sense.
Colin Powell for Vice President? For BOTH McCain and Obama? This story offers a fascinating, if egg-headed way of reaching this conclusion. His is the one name that hasn’t really been on the radar screen [...]]]></description>
