		<title>Stay calm or else</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On first glance, this small piece of news doesn&#8217;t sound too significant.  The LA Daily News reported today that police officers are telling IndyMac customers to stay calm; otherwise, they&#8217;ll be arrested.
To provide some background to this story, Pasadena-based bank, IndyMac, has just gone financially belly up from the continuing ripple effects of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day at the VA last week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, my friend and I were treated to yet another hair-pulling episode at the Veterans Administrations hospital.  Given the copious amount of literature surrounding the various incompetencies of this monstrous system, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll attend to the specifics.  
I&#8217;ll only say that it is an absolute travesty of justice for our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a busy few days and I haven&#8217;t been able to post anything substantial, but I thought I&#8217;d drop in and wave.  I&#8217;ll have a new post up in a few.

		<title>The similarity between us and 1776</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There has been many times these past few years when I have felt like John Adams in trying to get people to listen.  I am sure I am not alone in this sentiment since, at least here in America, there have been many voices that call for, and have been calling for, attention to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Korans coming to a home near you!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This happened in my hometown of Houston, Texas.  Apparently, some Islamic group called the Book of Signs Foundation is distributing Islamic Korans on the doormats and doorknobs of people&#8217;s homes.  
So far, the group claims to have disseminated 30,000 Korans throughout Houston and some Houstonians are none to happy about it.
One resident said, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dark Knight&#8212; A movie I&#8217;d rather not see</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d rather not see the latest in the Batman movies.  I&#8217;ve been a fan of the Batman movies ever since the first Tim Burton movie back in 1989.  I&#8217;ve even checked into the comicbooks from time to time despite (or because of) Frank Miller&#8217;s psychotic rendition.
But this is one Batman movie is not [...]]]></description>

1.  Iran has formally threatened the Strait of Hormuz to hurt Western economies should either America or Israel attacks.  
Iranian Major General Mohammed Ali Jafari said, &#8220;Regarding the main route for exiting energy, Iran will definitely act to impose control on the Persian [...]]]></description>
