By Robert S. Eshelman
Juanita Borden, 39 and jobless, patiently waits as her résumé methodically works its way, line by line, through a fax machine at a state-run job center in downtown Philadelphia. Lying open before her on a round conference table is a neatly organized folder. &#8220;This is my résumé and everywhere I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

By David Sirota
In the March 3 special primary election for the 5th congressional district seat in Illinois, formerly held by White House Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, many progressives voted their hopes, supporting Tom Geoghegan, a Chicago labor lawyer and author.
Geoghegan’s candidacy had been endorsed by The Nation columnist Katha Pollitt, Salon’s Joe Conason [...]]]></description>

Editoriai
There was an impressive breadth of knowledge and a welcome dose of candor in President Obama’s first big speech on education, in which he served up an informed analysis of the educational system from top to bottom. What really mattered was that Mr. Obama did not wring his hands or speak in [...]]]></description>

By Paul Krugman
Elections have consequences. President Obama’s new budget represents a huge break, not just with the policies of the past eight years, but with policy trends over the past 30 years. If he can get anything like the plan he announced on Thursday through Congress, he will set America on a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From The Washington Post
By Eugene Robinson
Barack Obama staged his arrival in Washington to evoke Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s, but the historical echo is faint. Lincoln&#8217;s famous train ride to his 1861 inauguration traversed a landscape of bitterness and strife. He had to speed through Baltimore &#8220;like a thief in the night&#8221; for fear of riots and possible [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From The Boston Globe
By H.D.S. Greenway
The club that Barack Obama now joins has traditionally been far more exclusive than just all white and all male. There has never been an Italian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Russian, Greek, Spaniard, or Hispanic elected to the White House. No descendent of the great waves of immigration from southern and eastern [...]]]></description>

Ah, the gowns and the glitter. The spectacular opening concert featuring everyone from Beyoncé to The Boss. The historical drama of watching the first African-American take the oath as president of the United States.

By David Sirota
In the last two decades, three early November days have witnessed the collapse of movements that shaped the 20th century:
First, Communism fell with the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 1989. Second, New Deal liberalism — weakened by Ronald Reagan’s 1980 election — was crushed as Republicans took Congress on Nov. [...]]]></description>

If Al Franken were not a longtime public figure &#8212; and thus severely handicapped by American jurisprudence &#8212; he could file a powerful complaint for libel or slander against several of the most prominent wingnuts in the United States. From Rush Limbaugh to Bill O&#8217;Reilly to Richard Mellon Scaife, a chorus of [...]]]></description>

Sarah Palin gets all reflective about her recent rise to political fame and her cagey relationship with everyone in the media except Greta Van Susteren in this clip from the upcoming documentary “Media Malpractice.” She feels exploited—hear that, Katie Couric?—exploited!
