		<title>:: Whaaa? GOP Apologizes to BP?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When BP CEO Tony Hayward testified before Congress this morning, many expected to hear him apologize for the disaster his company has caused. Instead, GOP Congressman Joe Barton was the one saying he was sorry &#8212; to BP.
In his opening statement, Barton, the top Republican on the committee overseeing the oil spill and its aftermath, [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: Classic Food Service Worker Interaction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, just before my flight back to Minneapolis, I decided to grab a quick breakfast bite at Charley&#8217;s in the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The following interaction between me and the order-taker was classic. I am sure similar interactions and outcomes will happen a thousand times over across the USA today:
Latasha (food service worker): Can I [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: People Are Pissed Off That Planes Can&#8217;t Fly Into Volcanic Ash. Really.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, there I was, having a nice Friday night supper with the kiddos when this story airs on NBC&#8217;s Nightly News with Brian Williams. The lead in from Williams:
A lot of people have been wondering, what would really happen if jets tried to fly through some of this dust &#8211; this volcanic ash. A lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: The Day Everyone Decided to Watch Golf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just to be clear, I am not a golf fan. Also, just to be clear, I have never been a fan of Tiger Woods. I have always thought him to be a smug, arrogant, self-interested pseudo-athlete. Oh yes, I deem golfers pseudo-athletes, like Tina Fey&#8217;s character &#8220;Ashlyn St. Cloud&#8221; in last night&#8217;s episode of SNL, [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: Health Care, You, Me, and Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, history was made. Congress passed legislation that will truly reform health care in the United States. It is heading to the President&#8217;s desk soon, and 33 million Americans who have been denied access to health care &#8211; especially when they needed it most &#8211; will have the right to a doctor, a nurse, life-saving [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: Looking Forward to March</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was just thinking how much I am looking forward to March. It&#8217;s actually kind of bizarre. I really don&#8217;t remember having such an affinity for March before. When I recall memories of March from the past, here is what I come up with: melting snow, accumulating now, tornadoes, MN State HS Tourneys (Hockey and [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: Vancouver Olympics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am loving it. Particularly Short Track&#8230;and not because of Apollo&#8230;because it is cool.
I dig the fact that they race not only around the rink, but around each other. I am trying to forget about the drama on the luge track, and the graphic scene of young Nodar Kumaritashvil crashing to his death. But it [...]]]></description>

		<title>:: Happy Twenty-Ten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I decided to entitle my New Years post with &#8220;Happy Twenty-Ten&#8221; because of a news story I saw last night. It was on the debate over whether verbally call 2010 &#8220;twenty-ten&#8221; or &#8220;two-thousand ten.&#8221; I will be saying &#8220;twenty-ten.&#8221; Why? Simple: this is how it was done most commonly last century. &#8220;Nineteen-ten.&#8221; &#8220;Nineteen-ninety nine.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The holiday season is upon us. Everyone knows what this means for themselves personally, and for their families. For us, I would like to say we have a definite lift in our spirits. &#8220;It&#8217;s the most wonderful time of the year,&#8221; right? We hang up decorations, play and listen and sing Christmas music, and focus [...]]]></description>
