		<title>PSA &#8211; Bank Fees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bank fees are in the news, with many banks testing out monthly fees for debit card use. The best way to avoid such fees on a national scale is for customers of the fee-charging banks to shut their accounts due to the fees.

		<title>PSA &#8211; Job Scams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A number of my friends have been applying for jobs they find on Craigslist. After they email their resume, they get an email asking for a credit report and get a link to a site that sells one for some kind of small fee.

		<title>Some Points for Better Health Reform</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the Massachusetts Senate election is over, the idea for real health reform (rather than a socialist mess) is alive once again. These points lay out a general outline that I feel make a good first step towards reforming healthcare to reduce costs. These points are designed to provide maximum flexibility for the individual.

		<title>The Full Body Scan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the latest attempted terrorist attack, security officials are considering a roll-out of millimeter wave x-ray technology. Critics say that this technology amounts to a virtual strip search and presents an unacceptable invasion of privacy. While I&#8217;m sure the critics would love to prevent TSA screeners from seeing the small penises, cellulite, saggy tits and [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Healthcare, from Canada:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I laughed out loud when I read this one: &#8220;Polls indicate that Canadians know full well the system is unsustainable in its current form, says Stuart Soroka, Director of the Canadian Opinion Research Archive at McGill University. And yet it&#8217;s us who are apparently easily alarmed by scare tactics. Mr. Soroka&#8217;s studies also find that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on the Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Arlen Spector met with constituents about health care reform. I think the people in Pennsylvania know very well what ObamaCare represents: expansion of government at the expense of personal freedoms. I&#8217;m amazed that our representatives are so quick to throw us all to the wolves for something that we do NOT want! Obama, in defense [...]]]></description>

		<title>Questions About Obamacare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the health care debate degenerates into a raucous, I&#8217;d like to have a few major questions that need to be answered: Obamacare supporters say that this plan will &#8220;bend the cost curve&#8221; of health care. But since new technology generally costs the most money, how will Obama accomplish this without rationing care and excluding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obamacare and Nazinomics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Consider the following: &#8220;[Medical care should not be given to those] who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia&#8221; Source: Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and health-policy adviser at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following was sent to me. I have no idea who wrote it, but think its good to share with the rest of you: Warning, new twitter feeds are most likely government members trying to spread misinformation, ignore them! Also, there is a handful of good twitter feeds, but please do not publicize their usernames, [...]]]></description>
