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>

		<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>

		<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>

		<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.

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>

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>
