		<title>Ballyhoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife wanted to re-activate her Bally&#8217;s gym membership and get one for yours truly. Customer service told her it was $215 a year for her membership, plus $199 a year for mine, with a $10 credit card fee. Also, my membership wouldn&#8217;t be valid for 5 days. Or we could get the same deal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uh, Next</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sure, go check-out books. After thirteen years in Periodicals. Endless rolls of microfilm, little pencils, request slips, stock reports, magazines. Internet sign-up and user help. Scanning rare newspapers for Historical, maintaining the database. By-appointment &#8220;CyberCoach&#8221;. Working the Audio Visual desk. All this has prepared me for&#8230; checking out books.
But who will cover Periodicals/internet, etc, etc? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barack Has Left the Building</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s rough being the President. It tends to have a detrimental affect on superstar status. Maybe I was too harsh in my first assessment, but it seems Barack doesn&#8217;t feel our pain like Bill, or take matters in to his own hands like W. (albeit ineptly), two qualities we could use right now. An oil gusher [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cash is Still King</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, look: we&#8217;re giving more per month to war profiteers than under Bush. Would be nice to see an itemized ledger showing how our 6.7 billion a month is being spent. But no, let&#8217;s not talk about that. There&#8217;s other stuff which costs way less we can spend hours on cable news blathering about.
And from [...]]]></description>

		<title>West L.A. Coffee Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twenty/thirty&#8211;somethings too cool too hip too edgy with their blackberrys and skinny jeans sitting on the patio at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf as I use the drive-thru with my baby daughter in back they look through me I&#8217;m a cliche they have tattoos but never been in jail or in a biker gang working [...]]]></description>

		<title>Above the Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Abusive priests&#8217; personnel files remain under wraps
Get a warrant and go take the files away from these child abuse advocates. If I were a school principal who sent a child raping teacher to go rape at another school, I&#8217;d not only be detained or arrested, I&#8217;d be impelled to give up what I knew about that teacher, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Truth is Out There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What you believe and what is true are two different things. Different people have different allegiances to each. If you believe your taxes were raised when in fact they were lowered, or that someone will take your guns away when in fact they show no interest in guns; or if you believe benefits for citizens [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saviors of Rock, Part IV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The triple threat &#8212; songwriter, guitarist, singer &#8212; who does all three well and distinctively, is somewhat rare. There are notable triple threats ranging in style from Jimi Hendrix to Joni Mitchell, Neil Young to Lindsay Buckingham, Willie Nelson to Pete Townsend, Kurt Cobain to Joan Armatrading, Lowell George to Mark Knopfler, and James Taylor [...]]]></description>
