		<description><![CDATA[Of all the cameras covering Capitol Hill hearings this week, it’s a wonder that not one of them belonged to the Food Network.
Congressional Democrats—and some Republicans—did so much filleting and grilling of Wall Street executives at two meetings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on October 6 and 7 that I expected Emeril [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s hard to assess whether the Richter scale registered higher in Washington or New York after the financial earthquake on Monday, September 29.
The House of Representatives’ narrow 228-205 rejection of a rescue package for the financial markets sent the Dow Jones industrial average down 777 points. The tremors in Washington were even stronger.
Enough House Democrats [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week’s meltdown on Wall Street took some air out of the Sarah Palin surge. But the Alaska governor’s addition to the Republican presidential ticket is turning the heads—if not capturing the hearts—of many women voters.
As a way to counter the Palin offensive, Democrats are sending Lilly Ledbetter to the political barricades.
A bill that bears [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As someone who has worked in Washington for 16 years, it’s hard for me to imagine this place in the way that the presidential candidates envision it.
Both Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama talk about a bipartisan or even “post-partisan” atmosphere if they win the White House.
We’ll see. I arrived in Washington just as the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin prevail over the Democratic ticket—Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden—Palin’s legacy to this presidential campaign may be the fundamental workforce issue she raises this fall: Can a working mother occupy the second-highest office in the country?
It’s one of many HR issues she’s bringing to the fore. [...]]]></description>
