		<description><![CDATA[
U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson hit the hornets&#8217;s nest squarely this week and then hit it again for good measure. We have a hunch he&#8217;s not about to put down his stick.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re tempted to say that President Obama got Punk&#8217;d yesterday by the Senate, as Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that the Senate will not be able to get a health reform bill wrapped up before a month-long Congressional recess that starts in August.
