		<description><![CDATA[Another &#8220;last post&#8221;!  It feels like I just got done writing one of these.  But while the last &#8220;last post&#8221; closed out our New Zealand adventure as we returned to Peoria, I&#8217;m happy to say that this post really marks the beginning of a new life for Angela and me.  As you&#8217;ve heard or inferred [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can catch Jim Owens on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; tomorrow morning (airs at 8am central).  It should be interesting.  To date I&#8217;ve seen him on a number of interviews, but they&#8217;re usually pretty focused, such as the CAT opinion on the &#8220;Buy American&#8221; clause in the stimulus package, or some statements about layoffs.  Tomorrow&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So our local political prodigy has just done a Colbert interview.  It&#8217;s OK, nothing particular funny or outrageous.  In fact anyone outside of Peoria probably couldn&#8217;t care less about it right now, but I think you&#8217;ll continue see more and more of Schock on TV.  Even Colbert made mention of him being &#8220;the new face [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In addition to the headline-making layoffs recently announced, CAT and Peoria have received some other attention you may not be aware of: Obama&#8217;s Secretary of Transporation, Ray Lahood, most recently represented central Illinois (and Peoria) in congress. CAT CEO Jim Owens was added to Obama&#8217;s economic advisory board. Owens will appear on &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually somewhat boring&#8230; in any case, Aaron Schock, Peoria&#8217;s celebrity youth politician who is now running for congress, got to address the RNC in Minneapolis today. I don&#8217;t know where CJ over at the Peoria Chronicle found the clip, so you&#8217;ll just have to view the article there to see the video. Or you could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peoria was indirectly in the national news twice yesterday.  Most prominently was President Bush&#8217;s visit for a Republican Party fundraiser.  Bush usually stops by for some trade or transportation press conference with CAT as the backdrop, so this was a bit different.  The fundraiser was held at the Weaver Farms, just a few minutes from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty painful to watch a stock you bought at $45, like I did with Washington Mutual, plummet to $19, where I gave up and sold it.  On the other hand it&#8217;s quite redeeming to watch that stock continue to go way, way down, now to $3.23.  This is a positive (for a change) lesson [...]]]></description>
