Although The New York Times reports that Hillary Clinton has accepted the secretary of state position, a spokesman for the New York senator denies it&#8217;s a done deal. Other likely nominations: Timothy Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve, as Treasury secretary; New Mexico Gov. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pew Forum tells us how the news media covered religion in the 2008 campaign.

Religion stories accounted for 4% of the news coverage.
53% of the religion stories were about Obama. Palin got 19% of the religion-focused stories, and John McCain got only 9%.
Biggest religion story&#8212;rumors that Obama is a Muslim (30%). Then Palin and her [...]]]></description>

We conformed to the culture rather than provide a clear Christian counterpoint to it. In so doing, we failed to accurately represent the Lord and to fulfill [...]]]></description>

As I report in this week&#8217;s issue of WORLD, some analysts view Obama&#8217;s hiring a plethora of former Clinton officials as a sign that the new prez may not be a stealth radical after all, but rather a New Democrat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s easy to pick on Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light.  When you think art should rise above sheer sentimentality, it can be a family drama to see pictures like this adorning the walls and desks and calendars of your loved ones.  

Yet, Kinkade is a painter of soft, warm feelings, and people buy his stuff.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin granted the traditional Thanksgiving pardon to a lucky turkey in Wasilla, Alaska.
The relieved turkey stood behind Palin as the media interviewed her at the turkey farm, but cameras caught workers slaughtering other less fortunate turkeys just a couple feet away. Poor Tom. It&#8217;s not your fault you&#8217;re so delicious.
