		<title>Good Riddance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Mayor Daley the Younger of Chicago &#8212; not to be confused with his father &#8212; announced that he would not seek a 7th term in office. Quicker than most people can eat a Chicago-style hot dog, speculation began that Rahm Emanuel would run for the position. This speculation is serious enough that even CNN [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts for Labor Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s appropriate to focus on jobs for Labor Day. The good news is that employers did add new jobs last month. Unfortunately they didn&#8217;t add nearly enough to make a dent in unemployment. Even as private employers are adding positions, cash-strapped state and local governments have had no choice but to cut them. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Teacher: Get Real</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mr/Ms Teacher: As you are no doubt aware, each of your students has 5 other classes. Each of these classes has their own supply requirements, although some things like &#8220;pencils&#8221; and &#8220;notebook paper&#8221; are universal. There is only a 5 minute or so passing period between your class and the previous or next class. While [...]]]></description>

		<title>Compare and Contrast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, the people who brought us TaintedEggs™ said that anybody who got sick? It was their own damn fault. Yes, that&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s our fault for enjoying eggs over easy, Hollandaise sauce, and Caesar Salads. These aren&#8217;t your grandmother&#8217;s farm fresh eggs, sweetie! Treat them like toxic waste that must be incinerated to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hold Your Nose and Pick One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Nevada race for Senate continues to be close. But this week the Las Vegas Review Journal &#8212; our paper of record, serving roughly 75% of the state&#8217;s population &#8212; did a different poll. They found that 2/3 of people who support Sharron Angle wish the Republican candidate were someone else, along with 8 in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inflation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s one expensive yearbook! In closing: &#8220;Maybe we can get Yaphet Kotto to play Captain Picard&#8221;; inside Trader Joe&#8217;s; a criminally misleading article about what doctors make; investors are nervous; Japanfilter double feature, Space Cruiser Yamato and the truth about Kobe beef; banks still only follow laws that they want to follow; 5 fastest growing [...]]]></description>

		<title>While I Was Asleep, a Man Had His Life Turned Upside Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I was going to spend the morning talking about the fact that American Apparel may well be headed out of business, not because it&#8217;s too damn expensive to make clothes in the United States without the 1800 illegal workers that were lost in a raid (although I&#8217;d like to point out that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m going to speak slowly&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pedant aside: please note that I did not say &#8220;Imma&#8221; in place of &#8220;I&#8217;m going to&#8221;. The end of August is upon us. This is normally I time of year that I republish A Little Message for the College Crowd, updated with the newest Beloit Mindset List. As important as I still believe that message [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Girl who Played with Shorties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And They Wonder Why the Peasants are Revolting: Even the market news pundits at Marketwatch get it: &#8220;In one America, one in 10 of those able to work are unemployed. In the other, Wall Street&#8217;s America, bonuses are set to increase.&#8221; Social Security Round Up: I thought about doing a Social Security post, but so [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Blame Paula Deen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember it was probably over a decade ago, I first saw somebody make a monte cristo sandwich on TV.  The chef might have been Emeril. It was the most decadent thing I had ever seen: a ham and cheese sandwhich, made with thick, egg-drenched slices of french toast. This made eggs benedict seem tame. [...]]]></description>
