		<description><![CDATA[I recall that in a guest column ("Kyl Overlooks AZ Benefits of Stimulus," Aug. 21 edition of the Arizona Capitol Times), State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema called Sen. Jon Kyl to task for daring to criticize President Obama's stimulus bill as ineffective. She claimed that he was out of touch and that "here in Arizona, we have proof that it is working."]]></description>
