		<description><![CDATA[Author Allen Currie A generic response to FAQ. (Many of you wondered what I was doing) In Feb. 1987 a short article on the Toronto Globe and Mail jiggled the jigsaw enough that a picture formed for me. No entity, you, me, or us together as a government can dispose of our future by borrowing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Author Tex Norton The latest Newsweek cover/cover story asks “Why are Obama’s critics so dumb?” You remember Newsweed, don’t you? That’s the paragon of rags that was sold for the overwhelming sum of $1.00 PLUS the liability of their really overwhelming existing debt. &#160; Perhaps a much better question would be “Why are Obama’s supporters [...]]]></description>

Something about that “bothered me”, but I couldn&#8217;t put my finger on it. I thought about [...]]]></description>

The entire “season” can be described by a single question: “Would you like a broken arm or would you prefer a broken leg?” &#160; Harsh? Not in the least! Isn’t that the ultimate description of what we call [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Author Tex Norton All of us grew-up with Guy Lombardo playing Auld Lang Syne at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Ever wonder where it came from? It’s an old Scottish folk song dating back to possibly as early as 1677. Robert Burns was the first to publish it in the mid-1790’s. The song recalls the [...]]]></description>
