		<description><![CDATA[	You want to see the real-world problems with right-wing extremism? Here&#8217;s a good example from Big Sky Country. With Montana facing major wildfires, senior Montana Republican lawmaker John Sinrud - who heads the state House&#8217;s appropriations committee - used a legislative hearing this week to attack Gov. Brian Schweitzer&#8217;s (D) administration for - get ready [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Should there be surveillance cameras in public parks? Albuquerque, New Mexico is struggling with that question.
	Here&#8217;s an excerpt from the Albuquerque Tribune report:
	&#34;Cameras with the power to zoom in and identify what&#8217;s in a pedestrian&#8217;s hand will soon be aimed at the heart of Albuquerque&#8217;s public space — Civic Plaza. Using $80,000 from the federal [...]]]></description>

	&#8220;Though it comes at a time when transportation-related construction work is booming, this Labor Day will find African-Americans, Latinos and women being passed over for these living-wage jobs in large [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Two weeks ago, I asked a pretty simple question: What is real-life hypocrisy, and what is faux hypocrisy manufactured by the political Punditburo in lieu of actual reporting? I asked this question in the wake of right-wing Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi screaming from the ramparts about how John Edwards is supposedly a hypocrite for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	You know, you&#8217;d think that Democrats - after winning the last election based on their opposition to the war - would at least give voters the courtesy of PRETENDING to try to end the war. But, no - apparently, the American public which strongly opposes the war and who voted Democrats into office on their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Ezra Klein is out once again attacking progressives in state legislatures for pushing to expand health care. It&#8217;s a pretty tired, typical Washington, D.C. argument that attempts to imply that those progressives pushing to expand health care at the state level supposedly oppose efforts to do the same at the federal level - a disgusting, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	In dollar figures, how much has the Iraq War cost the 8-state Intermountain American West? About $24 billion, when you add up the numbers from a new report by the nonpartisan National Priorities Project that is being released locally in Colorado today by the Colorado Progressive Coalition.
	Let&#8217;s put that $24 billion number into context. Since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I don&#8217;t get it. Colorado Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave is landing headlines pretending that she cares about low-income people. The Greeley Tribune cited Musgrave&#8217;s opposition to the White House proposal to eliminate food bank funding as proof that Musgrave has &#8220;worked closely with [food bank] leaders to assure a steady stream of funding to help [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	So what happens when a right-wing pundit like Tucker Carlson goes on television and admits to physically assaulting someone and committing a hate crime because someone supposedly &#8220;bothered&#8221; him? Why, Tucker&#8217;s fellow MSNBC anchors laugh, of course. I kid you not - see the video here.
