		<title>My 4th of July thoughts:  Is America still great?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The question is on the lips of many.&#160;&#160;Some&#160; decry our failings and insist they are endemic, and show the decline of our Country&#39;s greatness.&#160;
They point to our prosperity as evidence of our selfishness.&#160;
They point at our innovation and insist that we are lazy and weak.
They insist that in their lives we have never done anything [...]]]></description>

		<title>Locally a democrat politician loses her home in a tragic fire - and ignites a conspiracy firestorm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No jokes, this is a tragedy.&#160; Darcy Burner, the democrat nominee to the 8th District Congressional seat, lost her home to a fire this morning.
The Burner&#39;s and their dog escaped injury, and their cat was lost.
As I said, this is every family&#39;s nightmare.&#160; To be woken up at 7am by your child telling you his [...]]]></description>

		<title>The hobgoblin of little minds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.&#8221; — Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance
Perhaps this quotation explains a few things. By now everyone is familiar with the charges of &#8220;flip-flopping&#8221; that were hurled at Sen. Kerry during the 2004 election season. We are told that Barrack [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell to Possum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of our contributers has elected to leave and has requested all of his posts be deleted.&#160;
I pointed out my reluctance to do so as he has written some good things, and he responded:
Which I&#160;still have and can repost. I don&#39;t want to be around people who merit nothing more than swearing in the eyes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Federal Way graduates High School students who did not graduate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, I may be narrow minded, but this bothers me.&#160; I overheard this&#160;today on The Commentators.
Here in Washington, like other states, we have the state standards of graduation.&#160; One of those is the controversial WASL, which has been under a lot of heat for being an assessment test that assesses nothing.
According to the Seattle Times, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money in politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Follow the money.&#8221;
That sounds like good advice when you want to know who&#8217;s behind a campaign or initiative doesn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s part of the reason behind some of our campaign finance laws. Knowing who&#8217;s funding a campaign is important… if you assume that all money is corrupt… and if the campaign is for a person [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yet another silly question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are you ready for this one?
Tell me please, where does every single penny that the &#34;big oil&#34; companies receive come from?
No, I&#8217;m not asking where is it minted. I&#8217;m asking where do the &#34;big oil&#34; companies get their money?
Are they stealing it? Do they hold a gun to your head when you go to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s Karl?  Reflecting on Graduation&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a taking a few moments to dispel any rumours of my demise, defection or defenestration.
I&#39;ve been under the weather&#160;again, maxed out in my day job and all that, but&#160;here lately, most of&#160;my energy has been getting ready for my daughter&#39;s High School Graduation.
How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child&#39;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>A politically incorrect question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What happens when you take farmland that is producing crops that are brought to market to feed your nation&#8217;s people away from the farmers that own it by force, murdering those farmers if they don&#8217;t comply with your desire to seize their land? Do crops grow without the seed being sown? Do crops thrive without [...]]]></description>
