		<title>Relax, Don&#8217;t Do it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got screwed. There, I said it.
I had been too afraid or upset to talk about some issues I was having at work. I think a part of me was still frustrated with how things were dealt with as well as the fact that I was really getting no recognition for the work I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Real Tax Cheats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read a lot of news about the IRS tending to audit middle and low-income households more than high-income ones. It only makes sense since the rich have connections and can get by somehow. But recently, the State of California (yeah, the one with the huge deficit and failing government) had its Franchise Tax Board [...]]]></description>

		<title>Altruistic Millionaires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the news the mainstream media needs to cover: Some millionaires lobby for higher taxes.
Instead we get coverage of extremist/fringe groups (i.e. Tea Party) who are &#8220;mad as hell, and&#8230;not going to take it anymore!&#8221; but really have no idea what they&#8217;re angry about. The US needs more people who are altruistic and giving [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Net is Losing Neutrality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, the DC Court of Appeals handed corporate America a victory for deciding what content it can filter on the internet. In Comcast Corporation v. FCC, the Court ruled 3 &#8211; 0 that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) did not have the authority to require Comcast to treat all internet traffic equally. This decision effectively [...]]]></description>

		<title>Isn&#8217;t it ironic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of &#8220;irony&#8221; in politics lately (well, always but let&#8217;s talk about now). Palin admitted to using the Canadian government-run health care, something she&#8217;s been vehemently opposed to in the US.
In California, an ardent anti-gay politician, State Senator Roy Ashburn, admitted to being gay after his high-profile DUI arrest last week. Senator [...]]]></description>

		<title>Banks and Brokerages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the fall of finance, Wall Street, and the global economy, there were many calls to not only fix the problem but to figure out the root of the causes. President Obama heard the calls and formed the Economic Recovery Advisory Board when he came into office early 2009. He appointed former Federal Reserve Chairman [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diet, Food, &amp; Politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sustainable food once seen in activist circles is starting to gain acceptance as some norm. This week, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order hoping to turn vacant lots &#8211; basically any area that is city-owned but unused &#8211; into small gardens. The idea is to create a vibrant local economy while reducing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lugar In the Right Direction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) has signaled for the US to make a move in the right direction. Sanctions on Cuba have done nothing to help the US and, in fact, have just strengthened Cuba&#8217;s communist resolve. Let&#8217;s hope this goes somewhere.

		<title>Barr Lines Up with Libertarians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bob Barr, once the ardent Republican representative from Georgia and currently the Libertarian Party&#8217;s candidate for President, has finally come to terms with one of his many controversial positions &#8211; the War on Drugs. It was Barr who was a vocal supporter and policy-maker for the War on Drugs and repeatedly defended his position. He [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8216;Spite&#8217; Vote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Clinton finally conceded the Democratic nomination to Obama after a grueling primary season. She proved to be a tenacious and somewhat ironic &#8216;comeback&#8217; candidate who proved pundits and others wrong with her continued support and wins in the many latter primary states. But the math finally became obvious and the Clinton spin team [...]]]></description>
