		<title>Republican families on gay marriage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this bit in a news article today &#8230;
Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, posted on her Twitter account in January, &#8220;I think more Republicans need to start taking a stand for… civil rights in this country and set the example that this is not a partisan issue.&#8221; 
McCain said this after [...]]]></description>

		<title>The lady doth protest too much, methinks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There is more and more evidence that my thinking on this one isn&#8217;t far from the truth &#8230; The most vocal homo-phobes (mostly republican) have a lot of skeletons in their very dark closets.
These closet-cases are hypocrites. A few examples:
Just in the last few days this one has come out &#8230; State Sen. Roy Ashburn, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raleigh&#8217;s cat and dog tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
OK, I admit it &#8230; I&#8217;m an illegal citizen. I&#8217;ve committed crimes in my past.
For years I had 2 cats &#8211; and not once did I register them with the city of Raleigh and pay the city&#8217;s pussy tax. Later I had a dog &#8211; and I never paid tax on him. I frankly don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good news for a change &#8211; all remains clear!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After another CAT scan and a checkup by my ENT surgeon all remains clear as far as the throat cancer goes. It&#8217;s been over 8 months since the cancer was first found and almost 6 months since I discontinued the chemo and radiation treatments.
Playing the odds seems to be working!

		<title>A survey worth sharing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post and ABC News conducted another of their nationwide polls over the last week and they have released the results along with the results of polls conducted in the past that had the same question included. It&#8217;s really interesting (and surprising) how opinions have changed over the years.
The two questions that I pulled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some thoughts on &#8220;Don&#8217;t ask, Don&#8217;t tell&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no good reason why gays and lesbians shouldn&#8217;t serve openly in the military.
Yesterday, Adm. Mike Mullen chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates went before the Senate Armed Forces Committee to testify that don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell should end. A couple of worthwhile quotes from Adm. Mullen:
&#8220;No matter how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money making ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this mini-depression lots of folks are out-of-work, others are enduring hour and wage cuts. Many of these people are facing the time limit on receiving unemployment payments. But there is money out there just waiting to be claimed by anyone. 
Individuals, companies and government agencies are all offering incentives/rewards for all sorts of things. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Internet usage trends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I use the Internet a lot more than the average person but the figures below show that I&#8217;m not all that out of line!
American adults are now spending an average of 13 hours a week surfing the Internet, according to new data from Harris Interactive, up from only seven hours in 1999, 2000, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perhaps a bit dated but still a funny joke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He&#8217;s been out of office (and the public eye) for a while now but I just had to share this joke:

President Bush was sitting at his desk in the oval office when the Secretary of War walked in&#8230;
How goes the war in Iraq&#8221;, asked Pres. Bush
&#8220;Terrible&#8221;, said the Secretary of War, &#8220;Six Brazilian Soldiers were [...]]]></description>
