		<description><![CDATA[ Coffee time: suck it up mugcourtesy of Ted Drake
Dear Senator Casey,
It&#8217;s touching that you have decided to rail against the Nationals new policy of selling to the home market first for games against the Phillies. Really, it is.
It&#8217;s not like unemployment is a problem, or there are massive deficits in the federal budgets, or [...]]]></description>

If there&#8217;s a caricature in the media politics age that we live in, Rush Limbaugh is that clichéd, hackneyed caricature that you just can&#8217;t seem to scrub out of the landscape.
