		<description><![CDATA[Na, wirklich. Eigentlich zweimal. Während andere Blogger von rechts meinen Präsidenten dafür verarscht haben, er glaube, daß die Österreicher &#8220;österreichisch&#8221; statt deutsch reden, habe ich am Anfang angenommen, da war bestimmt etwas bei der Übersetzung verlorengegangen. Obgleich man Obama so zitiert hat: There&#8217;s a lot of — I don&#8217;t know what the term is in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lech Kaczynski, the President of Poland, appears to be a gaffe machine on par with Joe Biden. His greatest hits include showing up late for a meeting with Condoleezza Rice, snubbing Lech Walesa and claiming President-elect Obama had given him assurances he apparently hadn&#8217;t. Nice. Meanwhile, their foreign minister Radek Sikorski denies having made a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insta and Say ask why the stock market has done so poorly since Obama was elected. Day 1 I chalked up to coincidence, as the market had fared reasonably well on Election Day itself, and surely investors weren&#8217;t in Limbaughesque denial about how the election was going to go? But after a second straight day, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I offered an excessively pessimistic premortem to the third and final debate. In response, commenter TGirsch accused me of &#8220;sour grapes&#8221; for suggesting that the presumably inevitable Obama election would lead to an equally inevitable New Depression and a return to the Warren Court. The discussion focused largely on TGirsch&#8217;s incorrect use of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This certainly doesn&#8217;t look good politically, but I think there&#8217;s less than meets the eye. The infamous junket involved the life insurance companies, which are doing fine, and not the unregulated entities that were the subject of the bailout. Right now, people working for any company with the letters &#8220;A.I.G.&#8221; in its name could use [...]]]></description>
