		<title>Your New Healthcare System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Clearly, this is a model of back-scratching, ignorance, not-caring, willful stupidity, crass overreaching, sleight of hand, class warfare, wishful thinking, arrogance, rank evil, or all of the above. These idiots won&#8217;t be happy until they&#8217;ve destroyed the American economy. Details here]]></description>

		<title>Good luck wrapping your head around this</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every black hole may hold a hidden universe. WE COULD be living inside a black hole. This head-spinning idea is one cosmologist&#8217;s conclusion based on a modification of Einstein&#8217;s equations of general relativity that changes our picture of what happens at the core of a black hole. In an analysis of the motion of particles [...]]]></description>

		<title>Immigration placeholders, juxtaposed for easy future reference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, a shameless visiting foreign politician, pandering to other shameless politicians, idiots, or both: Next, a politician with the stones to call out said shameless visiting foreign politician, and his colleagues in Congress for their idiocy: And there&#8217;s this &#8211; a certifiable moron, who actually makes Michael Savage sound reasonable by comparison, no small feat: [...]]]></description>

		<title>On recycling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While visiting one of my regular reads, I came across a summary of what&#8217;s wrong with our continued national fetish for recycling. Having extensive experience in the waste industry, I&#8217;ve never been a fan of consumer (curbside) recycling. It&#8217;s a completely different business than the trash business. The trash business is simple &#8211; fee for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A concise definition of &#8220;rights&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Dr. Walter E. Williams. (via his posting at George Mason University&#8217;s site) I&#8217;ve incorporated it here in its entirety because it&#8217;s so short and so important that I want to ensure it remains close at hand. Is Health Care a Right? Most politicians, and probably most Americans, see health care as a right. Thus, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally, a bit of good news &#8211; Brown Wins in MA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the WSJ story of this evening: BOSTON—A little-known Republican shook up the balance of power in Washington by winning a U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, a result that imperils President Barack Obama&#8217;s top legislative priorities and augurs trouble for his party in this year&#8217;s elections. Cast beneath the front page story, these three bullets, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your quote of the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Douglas McIntyre: Stable home prices may be overrated. Every month that there is an artificial barrier that prevents real estate prices from falling faster is a month that the market does not reach rock bottom, and rock bottom prices are what eventually bring buyers into the market. Real estate prices are being destroyed by [...]]]></description>
