		<description><![CDATA[Clinton&#8217;s campaign is bleeding donors and losing supporters, this pronouncement was an attempt to, at least temporarily, restore some of the lost confidence.
The obvious downside to this recent proclamation is that it is likely to turn much of the democratic establishment against her. The staunchest Clintonites among Superdelegates pledged their support to Hillary early on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastpostonthebugle.wordpress.com&blog=3227137&post=86&subd=lastpostonthebugle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The front page of the National Enquirer is probably viewed by more Americans than any other publication or medium. Staring from magazine racks in supermarkets nationwide, it reaches citizens who are otherwise completely unaware of any political debate or discourse. Fortunately, the Olsen twins overwhelm this page, thus clarifying that white people are perfectly capable [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastpostonthebugle.wordpress.com&blog=3227137&post=85&subd=lastpostonthebugle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the United States, the word &#8220;rhetoric&#8221; has developed an entourage of negative connotations. The term &#8220;campaign rhetoric&#8221;, for example, has become entirely synonymous with triangulation. The word has been infused with emptiness by overly cautious politicians who showed uncharacteristic prowess when pillaging the term of any meaning. No mainstream public official of late seems [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastpostonthebugle.wordpress.com&blog=3227137&post=74&subd=lastpostonthebugle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In the novel, Sergeant Raymond Shaw and the rest of his platoon are captured during the Korean War [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastpostonthebugle.wordpress.com&blog=3227137&post=73&subd=lastpostonthebugle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Whenever young people, either alone or in pairs, shoot up their place of study, their rampage is followed by tiresome, unimaginative debate. One side, the Joe Liebermans of the world, decry the degeneration of youth culture, and it&#8217;s apparently devastating effect on young minds. The other, the more conscientious types, take the more irreverent position, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastpostonthebugle.wordpress.com&blog=3227137&post=60&subd=lastpostonthebugle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
