		<description><![CDATA[By this time we all know how very very difficult it is to get anything done in the U.S. Senate, so it is not surprising that Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., was upset about President Obama’s proposals regarding banks—what businesses they can or cannot be in under certain conditions and how big they should be.

You, and we, are hearing from the punditocracy that it was a repudiation of your overreaching agenda, [...]]]></description>

The man that history has picked to be Santa in this particular case doesn’t look the part in any obvious way.  Senate [...]]]></description>
