		<title>RUSH LIMBAUGH OUTED</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And now we know. Despite Rush Limbaugh&#8217;s macho posturing, he is really a closet supporter of health care reform. The truth emerged this week when Limbaugh promised to leave the country if Congress passes the health care package. His startling announcement will no doubt cause many opponents of the the bill to re-think their opposition.
I can only [...]]]></description>

		<title>KEEP AMERICA SAFE (FROM THE CHENEYS)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I have traveled throughout the far west—recreationally and professionally. My itinerary has included Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Arizona and states along the nation&#8217;s west coast where I once lived. But I have never crossed a state line or landed at an airport identified as being in  Wyoming. Nor do I know anyone claiming to [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER&#8217;S PULITIZER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inside journalism circles there is much weeping, wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over the National Enquirer&#8217;s Pulitzer Prize nomination for an exposé of John Edward&#8217;s loose zipper. As someone who built an investigative reporter career based on journalism prizes, I say, &#8220;Who gives a flying&#8230;whatever?&#8221;
I evolved over 30 years of muckraking from reporter [...]]]></description>

		<title>DIRTY POLITICS: A FUN TRADITION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m speaking today to the Sons of the American Revolution, so I&#8217;ve spent a little time pondering 1776 and what it means. To a great extent, my early investigative reporter ancestors sewed the roots of revolution. They distributed pamphlets raging about the rule of King George III. Indeed, I was among the muckrakers doing an exposé of the King. [...]]]></description>

		<title>JACKIE ROBINSON AND ME</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s blog post, The First Black Whatever,  really pinched a few nerves. I&#8217;m not surprised. Race is one of the most sensitive subjects in America. And perhaps the most important. The portion of my post that stirred the kettle was a suggestion of subtle and sometimes overt racism exhibited by a lot of folks involved in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE FIRST BLACK WHATEVER&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, the New York Times Magazine did a feature story on the Reverend James Fields—a black preacher and retired state employee, who was elected in 2008 to the Alabama legislature. He represents Cullman County, in which only 401 of the 81,000 registered voters are African-American. Fields falls into the well known category of &#8220;the first ever.&#8221; In his case, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>FOX NEWS: REALLY?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives us freedom of speech and press to express opinions, thoughts and complaints. As an investigative reporter for thirty years, I had the freedom to practice my craft without fear of government intervention—although there were two occasions in which the judiciary unsuccessfully attempted to infringe on my freedom by issuing prior restraining [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE FORREST GUMP SYNDROME—BY CHOICE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forrest Gump&#8217;s momma told him, &#8220;Stupid is as stupid does.&#8221; The momma&#8217;s of politicians, pundits, talk show personalities and an array of activists should have warned them that, &#8220;Stupid is also as stupid speaks.&#8221; 
 Take for example, Iowa Republican Representative Steve King. He told a  audience last weekend that he &#8220;could empathize&#8221; with the crazy man who crashed an airplane [...]]]></description>
