		<title>We don&#8217;t NEED to know, we MUST know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Blame the media!! It&#8217;s a common phrase, and while I think it can be misguided I know why it&#8217;s so often used.  We reach more people on a daily basis than any other organization.  We are where people turn when they want information, and because of this fact people are naturally distrustful of what we [...]]]></description>

		<title>I have no idea, please hold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I need to rant a little about customer service.  If you saw my last blog you know that I&#8217;ve had some difficulty with my cable bill lately.  By difficulty I mean an excruciatingly, painfully, frustratingly bad time.
I&#8217;m not going to get into details, but seriously it&#8217;s getting so bad I expect my next phone call to end [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I got the welt on my forehead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?  Many times it does, faster computers and better cell phones can help, but every once in a while there comes a time when technology backfires.  When something that looks good on paper or in theory completely ruins your week and leaves you bruised and beaten.
The following is [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filibuster-proof, supermajority, 60 is the new 50, all phrases that have crept into our vocabulary since Democrats took control last January.  All of that, however, could be coming to an end.
Two Democratic Senators, Sen. Chris Dodd and Sen. Byron Dorgan, have announced they will not seek re-election, putting the 60 shield in doubt.  I&#8217;m not sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year, Busy Gym</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t make it to the gym as often as I should, in fact I had a chance to go today and instead decided to watch reruns of The Wire.  But when I make it there one thing is certain, I won&#8217;t be able to find a treadmill or bike that&#8217;s open for the next [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping Tabs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a little tired today, I have to say.  I was up until 2 a.m. this morning watching a crucial Senate vote on health care reform.  I tweeted about it, you can find it @nc8mark.  It might be a little excessive to stay up that late for a cloture vote, and l maybe a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pawlenty Watch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

A quick update on Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty&#8217;s quest for the White House.
According to AP, Pawlenty is reaching deeper into Sen. John McCain&#8217;s campaign structure by luring away a top fundraiser for his upstart Freedom First political action committee.  Pawlenty&#8217;s PAC announced Friday that Brian Haley will be its finance director.  Haley has held the same [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let the debate begin! or Knock on Wood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Senator Harry Reid has opened the debate on health care reform.  This promises to be a whopper with both sides of the aisle pulling out all the stops, and special interest groups throwing money around like it was a water balloon fight.
How will it end? Who knows.  What is certain is that emotions will run [...]]]></description>

		<title>Set aside politics, for just a minute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I get into the latest political rumblings let me take a moment to thank all of our Vets today.  Thanks for fighting for us, thanks for wearing that uniform and standing proudly for our country.  You should be proud of yourselves.  If you are not a vet, seek one out today and show your [...]]]></description>
