After my turn to take a kayak out for a paddle, I returned to the dock to find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently learned about a delightful little concept called Godwin&#8217;s Law, which says that the longer an online discussion drags, the more likely it is to make comparisons to Hitler or Nazis.
A corollary to Godwin&#8217;s Law says that in a debate, whoever makes a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis first loses.
The idea is somewhat [...]]]></description>

Assuming that the new term is more accurate, does the accuracy justify the obscurity?  Or is the new term a euphemism that, like many euphemisms, may be an attempt to deceive?
Years ago, Ronald Reagan avoided the [...]]]></description>

One story from CBS News portrays Obama as a friendly visitor, joking with reporters, having fun, interested in making relationships.
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/01/22/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4748255.shtml
It is called, &#8220;Obama Pays Friendly Visit to White House Reporters.&#8221;

Any institution that won’t take the trouble in its writing to be both clear and personal will lose friends, customers, and money. Let me put it another way for business executives: a shortfall will be experienced in anticipated [...]]]></description>

It was refreshing for me this morning, however, to read about ten Special Forces soldiers, who are true heroes.  Having fought a seven-hour [...]]]></description>
