		<title>Pak it in</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this summer, the US  Secretary of State Hillary R Clinton tripped over to Pakistan.  She came loaded down with gifts for Pakistan.  These gifts, worth hundreds of millions, are to keep Pakistan in line and on our side.  Much of it was and is for &#8220;water projects&#8221;.  Given the arid state of Pakistan, &#8220;water [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Four Fems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No matter what your viewpoint is of the political process, the November 2010 Mid-term elections should be a hoot and a holler, with hopefully a minimum of gunfire.  Here in NH, there are plenty of races worth watching.
And I think NH will soon have an all female delegation&#8230;
Below are my predictions, with the usual mushy [...]]]></description>

		<title>November Revolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since 2001, national politics has become progressively more contentious and complex.  The coming mid-term elections are already described in &#8220;line in the sand&#8221; terms.  Unfortunately there is no national consensus&#8212;just groups of hell for leather and bunker mentality interests.  Trust exists only within &#8220;the tribe&#8221;.
And there is zero patience.  So the Democrats get the proverbial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duly Noted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, before the Gulf Spill, the petroleum industry ran a TV commercial that awed the viewer with deep sea drilling potential.  It was all glamorous stuff with a single primary well having multiple &#8220;tentacles&#8221; running along the seabed to other wells. Then came Earth Day and an explosion and the rest is floating in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Noticing Legal Notices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our local radio station WTPL-FM has a host Jack Heath, best described as a moderate hard right conservative Republican.  He is pro-business and anti-government.  Nothing wrong with that&#8211;reading talking points is like parroting teleprompters&#8212;just follow the bouncing ball.  Jack loves to compare how we citizens have to live within our means while government can tax, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Continuing Decline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite more good news on the economic front, bad news just comes in bigger mobs.  Recent notes, the Ginger House, a local restaurant with sushi service, is dropping its sushi.  This regressives sushi to Peterborough and Concord, a bummer.

Irving Oil/Shaw&#8217;s is cutting back on their groceries for gas.  It used to be $50 in groceries [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Days of Hitler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Never one to attract good public relations, Hitler, despite his world class meanness, gets yet another book under his belt.  Not the calm narrative like Cornelius Ryan&#8217;s The Last Battle, The Last Days of Hitler goes gaga into character stalking and assassination.  Yes Hitler hung out with wackos and weirdos, but they were not incompetent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Right/Private Right: SeaWorld or SeeWorld</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, a trainer got killed at SeaWorld with cameras rolling.  This tragic accident took a turn when the family of the trainer wanted the video footage sealed, citing privacy.
This brings up the question of privacy versus public right to know.  Do we all have the right to control our image?  Who decides what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monkey Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent Gulf Coast disaster brought up the spector of monkey business.  Remember a few years back, the mere threat of a potential hurricane in the Gulf sent oil prices spiking.  Then a few weeks ago,  a rig explodes, burns, and sinks in the Gulf.  And the prices just sail on unchanged.
The economy, like politics, [...]]]></description>
