		<title>Bring it On Chaffetz &#8212; Oust Cannon</title>

		<title>3rd Congressional District, an Online Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jennifer Scott, campaign manager for the Jason Chaffetz camping in Utah&#8217;s 3rd Congressional District, made me aware of an &#8220;online debate&#8221; in the Daily Herald. The Daily Herald provided an option for each of the Republican candidates to present their stance in a 30-second blurp for eight questions. Interesting format&#8230;.

		<title>Apparently I&#8217;m Not a Typical White Person</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on Barack Obama&#8217;s comments this week the &#8220;typical white person&#8221; thinks that an encounter with a person of a different race on the street represents a threatening situation. I guess this means I&#8217;m not a typical white person, because I have never had a thought like that. In fact let me share an experience. [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on the Social Security Quagmire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At risk of awaking my left-wing friends I want to relate today&#8217;s experience. I woke up this morning at 5:00 AM due to a nightmare. I wiped my sleepy eyes for a few seconds and stared up at the dark ceiling. The thought then came to my mind, &#8220;this little quagmire called Social Security is [...]]]></description>

		<title>There He Is!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I am a regular Nightside Project listener, recently I have been wondering about Jon Dunn and how life is going for him since his move to Kanab in Kane County. No, we aren&#8217;t friends, but enjoyed listening to his point of view on the show. Today I found him, so welcome to the blogroll, Jon.

		<title>FairTax Misunderstood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was conversing with a fellow employee a couple days ago regarding the FairTax. During the conversation I defended some of the simple premises of the FairTax, among them the riddence of double-taxation and a more equitable solution to tax everyone (including foreign visitors and illegal aliens), the helping of the poor, and the ultimate &#8220;sayonara&#8221; to [...]]]></description>
