		<description><![CDATA[I got a response from Target and this is a good one. Dear David Brooks, Target has long believed that engaging in civic activities is an important and necessary element of operating a national retail business. What&#8217;s more important than any one candidate&#8217;s stance on a particular issue is how we nurture thoughtful, long-term growth [...]]]></description>

Living in MN we get a lot of the pro-ethanol propaganda and to be fair, I am not very knowledgeable on the subject. I checked out this article from the Economist.

		<description><![CDATA[I never took an economics course in college and this is something that I deeply regret. Recently, China announced that they would allow their currency (the Yuan) to float more freely. In their economy they have tighter controls and restrictions, specifically; they have artificially devalued their currency.  This means that their Yuan is worth less [...]]]></description>

It is bad enough that we had a vice-president who was head of this company. It was bad enough that Halliburton also was involved with completely screwing the Gulf of Mexico over by [...]]]></description>

The healthcare battle seems to finally be over as the Democrats have successfully pushed through the much needed reform bill. But, the war for reform has just begun and if the previous battle was any indication, it will not be easy. So, ready [...]]]></description>

This means that Japan is once again the largest holder of US debt! It is way better to have our debt in the hands of a trusted ally rather then a power-hungry [...]]]></description>
