		<description><![CDATA[Because I&#8217;m getting older and everything of importance seems to involve eating, I thought I&#8217;d comment on current issues in a way that interests me; that is, by likening them to courses in a meal. In this analogy, the &#8220;meal&#8221; in question is the November election, and the dishes are ranked in terms of their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, we all know the Federal Government is spending money faster than they can print it, under the mistaken idea that we can spend our way out of recession. But another, woefully under-reported story is the amazing deficits being racked up by the states. I&#8217;ve been looking around for a source on this story, [...]]]></description>

Well, it just so happens that the folks at Corel (the company that sells Painter software) are having a big contest. They&#8217;re giving away some pretty nice stuff (to be honest, I&#8217;m shooting for the Second [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been asked by a couple readers how my battle with the County went regarding the &#8220;Casual Profanity&#8221; rule, and whether I followed through with my plan to protest the enforcement of such an obviously unlawful rule. Each year for the tournament, the County issues revised rules (removing the 7-run limit per inning, for example, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a weekend! Our team went undefeated in the End-of-Season tournament, winning three games via the mercy-rule (any team that leads by 10 or more points after 5 innings is declared the winner). The final championship game was a real nail-biter. The lead changed hands a couple times, and our defense kept us in it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I imagine that lots of people would shake their heads at my crusade to repeal the &#8220;Casual Profanity&#8221; rule in the Spokane County Parks and Rec adult softball league. It seems pretty trivial, after all. What&#8217;s the big deal about curbing my language for a couple hours once or twice a week? Am I such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting ruling yesterday by the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, especially in light of my fight against the Spokane County Parks &#038; Rec Softball &#8220;Casual Profanity&#8221; rule. An occasional curse word or even Janet Jackson&#8217;s infamous &#34;wardrobe malfunction&#34; on prime-time TV shouldn&#8217;t bring down the wrath of the Federal Communications Commission, a federal court [...]]]></description>

My letter has been forwarded to the Legal Department for feedback, and they will eventually get back to me.
