It took Rep. Ken Calvert, R-California, two days to push back against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[War and medical metaphors tend to dominate Washington parlance. For instance, partisans are constantly “attacking” someone else’s position or “defending” their own.
Sometimes, one side “inoculates” against an attack by doing something that is meant to neutralize the opposition’s argument.
On the eve of a hearing on employer verification that will kick off a renewed Capitol Hill [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last fall, I had the privilege of visiting Ukraine when the country was holding its parliamentary elections. The colorful campaigns—and a general lack of faith among the middle-class Ukrainians I met that the process would improve their lives—offered special insight into the country.
My electoral timing is good again on my current trip to India. Karnataka, [...]]]></description>

I am not an expert on India. In fact, my colleague Jeremy Smerd wrote an authoritative [...]]]></description>
