		<title>Finish Ahead: Move Your Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best ideas are always the simplest.
About a year ago, I wrote a post that used George Bailey as a metaphor for the community. I suggested that the citizens of Muncie could all pull together, make relatively small changes and investments in their community, and our city would be a better place.
Well, it turns out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reindeer Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The holiday season is upon us; and with it, come the reindeer games.
That&#8217;s the only way to really describe the December 7th City Council meeting, as the Mayor and City Council butted heads and locked horns over one issue after another. Council members Marshall, Barton and Murphy trotted and strutted before the audience, still smug [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Conservative Bible Project (??)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently there are a group of people out there are tired of the liberals treating gospel like it&#8217;s, well, gospel.
The young white men neoconservatives at Conservapedia have determined that various translations of the Christian Bible have been progressively progressive, and have also made attempts to &#8220;dumb down&#8221; the text.
Oddly enough, at the same time, they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eliminate Health Insurance Entirely?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How come I never heard of Congressman Anthony Weiner before today?
&#8220;The health insurance industry shouldn&#8217;t exist at all, because unlike a pharmaceutical company that is producing…at least they have someone doing research trying to make someone healthy. A health insurance company is just making money on the transaction, and really not contributing anything to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sick &amp; Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matt Taibbi does it again.
The system doesn&#8217;t work for anyone. It cheats patients and leaves them to die, denies insurance to 47 million Americans, forces hospitals to spend billions haggling over claims, and systematically bleeds and harasses doctors with the specter of catastrophic litigation. Even as a mechanism for delivering bonuses to insurance-company fat cats, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Maybe He&#8217;s Right&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, in my advertising agency days, I carried around this Harry Beckwith book called Selling the Invisible. It is a great collection of anecdotes about marketing and idea pitching. One that stands out for me is a story about Jay Chiat, who crafted some of America&#8217;s most memorable advertising campaigns – American Express, Apple Computer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill Maher: Not Everything in America Has to Make a Profit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been an avid Bill Maher fan for many years. I find him to be astute, fair and absolutely intolerant of intentional stupidity – much like me.
A few months ago, he started in on this idea that what&#8217;s really wrong with this country is that we don&#8217;t treat each other very well, and that we&#8217;re [...]]]></description>
