		<description><![CDATA[I’ll be the first to admit when I am wrong. While I’ve long been a vocal critic of Apple’s “agency model” ebook pricing scheme, I never actually believed there was any collusion between Apple and the major publishing firms. But then, all these lawsuits happened, and what we are learning is that not only was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first thing I heard on the news this morning while eating my bowl of Life breakfast cereal, was some Republican talking head whining about Obama “celebrating” Osama Bin Laden’s death. Saying that the president is “politicizing the issue.” Let me get this straight: Bush used the events of 9/11 to prop up his failed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hilary Rosen, Democratic mouthpiece, suffered a foot-in-mouth moment when she went after Ann Romney for being a “Stay-at-home” mom. Republicans are “outraged.”&#160; Stay-at-home moms are offended. Even the President has denounced her. Personally, I’m sick of hearing about it because, while Rosen didn’t do herself, the democratic party or President Obama any favors by expressing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watching the news coverage of the Supreme Court hearing over Obamacare, I couldn’t help thinking that conservatives are doing everything in their power to ruin this country. Makes me think I out to get a passport, hop on a bus and move to Calgary.&#160; The Repugnicans are ruining everything.&#160; As far as they’re concerned, America [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first got online nearly fifteen years ago, their was a saying that “content is king.&#34; The conventional wisdom was that good websites were driven by good content. Then, after the tech bubble burst, it became all about web design. People argued usability v. graphic design standards and so forth. Then, lo and behold, [...]]]></description>
