		<description><![CDATA[Much ado has been made of the Tea Party Debate moment when the audience cheerfully agrees that our country should let people die if they don&#8217;t have health insurance. The real information here, though, is not what a couple of hecklers in the audience are saying, but what the politicians are saying. Namely, what was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vigilantemind.com&amp;blog=24485879&amp;post=149&amp;subd=vigilantemind&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Seems they&#8217;re burying the lede here&#8230; isn&#8217;t Congress in recess? Why are there still Congressmen in the Capitol building?
