But as the events of the last couple of weeks illustrate, we have a long way to go.

		<description><![CDATA[When asked about the functions of a Vice President, Palin gave an incorrect reply which means she doesn&#8217;t fully understand the differences between the executive and legislative branches.

A vice president has a really great job because not only are they there to support the president&#8217;s agenda, they&#8217;re there like the team member, the teammate to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[8 years ago, Lieberman was the Vice Presidential nominee of the Democratic party. If not for some hanging chads and interference by the Supreme Court, he would have become the Vice President.
Then he became an Independent.
Lieberman has become close to McCain in ideology that the latter was ready to pick him as his Vice Presidential [...]]]></description>

Why not rename states? With bandhs happening in the state at frequent intervals why not rename West Bengal as West Bandhall?

Before the team left for Sri Lanka the main story was that Tendulkar needed 172 runs to surpass Brian Lara&#8217;s record in Test cricket (which probably was obtained in lot fewer tests). At the run rate Tendulkar is managing these days it will take [...]]]></description>
