		<description><![CDATA[&#160;&#160;&#160; I knew it was just a matter of time. &#160;&#160;&#160; This week the Republicans in the Ohio government proposed a bill requiring welfare applicants to get drug tested before they can receive benefits.

But their proper label, the name that truly describes their profession and the role they play in America is &#34;Pusher.&#34; &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Yes, they are pushers, and they have a product to move, folks.

You scratch your head, ask them- what is it about him that you hate so much? and they&#39;ll tell you &#34;We hate him [...]]]></description>

When I touched his shoulder and said &#34;Do you know who I am?&#34; he turned his head, smiled at me and said &#34;Hi&#34; with no recognition in his eyes.
