		<description><![CDATA[Andrew Sullivan is doing the righteous thing, keeping track of the continuing student protests--and assorted government depredations--in Iran. The Khamenei-Ahmadinejad dictatorship has been killing prisoners, imprisoning and beating protesters, harassing its political enemies at an unprecedented rate. Given the government's obvious unwillingness to negotiate with the United States or the rest of the world, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.blogs.time.com&blog=5284847&post=19233&subd=timeswampland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The President gave a terrific economic speech today, proposing some new jobs-creating initiatives, one of which--a 0% capital gains tax rate for small businesses--seems a Republican dream, but was hilariously opposed on deficit cutting grounds by Senator Mitch McConnell...whose votes on a range of budget items during the Bush presidency created the bulk of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.blogs.time.com&blog=5284847&post=19230&subd=timeswampland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of the happier economic weeks the President has had this year. The unemployment numbers weren't as bad as expected. The big banks are paying back their TARP loans ahead of schedule and with interest. But Obama has wisely decided to keep pushing jobs creation in a speech today (and may also start [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.blogs.time.com&blog=5284847&post=19204&subd=timeswampland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of delusional nonsense from the right about climate change these days--especially the hyping of hacked emails from the East Anglia laboratory, which demonstrate that climate scientists can be every bit as unfortunately over-exuberant as other obsessive advocates. But the essential truth about climate change remains the same, as this report shows. The world is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.blogs.time.com&blog=5284847&post=19202&subd=timeswampland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is important. For the Obama surge to work in Afghanistan, the Taliban/Al Qaeda safe havens in Pakistan have to be cleaned out. The Pakistanis have been reluctant to do that--given that they invented the Taliban (to counter a feared Indian takeover of Afghanistan). But the Obamistas seem to have delivered an ultimatum: you move [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.blogs.time.com&blog=5284847&post=19194&subd=timeswampland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This piece by David Sanger reminds me of several points that have gone unmentioned in the discussions of the President's new Afghan policy:
1. The policy and troop surge is not intended to "defeat" the Taliban; indeed, there's a recognition that the Tals will always be a part of the picture in Afghanistan. The intent of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.blogs.time.com&blog=5284847&post=19088&subd=timeswampland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) joined Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) today in introducing an amendment that would revoke health insurers' and medical malpractice insurers' existing exemption from federal antitrust laws that prohibit anti-competitive conduct such as price fixing, bid rigging, and market allocations.
