		<description><![CDATA[Supposedly there were at least 500 or 5000 demonstrators&#8211;the local news outlets haven&#8217;t decided.  5000 seems high.  I wasn&#8217;t there, but I do agree with some of the core concerns, including the one below.  And while I think there is a huge amount of waste in much of the public sector, and that spending should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So far Obama hasn&#8217;t done anything to really irritate me, but the democratic congress has.  One of the smaller pieces of legislation they&#8217;ve prepared that is misguided involves the delay to Digital TV, or rather a delay to allowing analog TV to shut down.  It bothers me because it is indicative of waste, slowing society [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the 2008 presidential election must be one of the longest versions of presidential campaigns. I recall coming home to Illinois and watching the news channel being completely swamped with pre-campaign stories. I returned to Peoria mid July 2007; the candidates for each party have not been completely named yet. The coverage of world news [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I woke up to the alarm with a tear in my eye.  Not the normal &#8220;I want to sleep for another hour&#8221; tear, but joy and disbelief that this is probably the last day of the current presidential campaign. When this all started, Angela and I were living in another country, surrounded by different people, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With a daily readership in the high single digits, an endorsement by the Peoria Dispatch carries real weight, and it&#8217;s time to make it public:  I&#8217;m supporting Barack Obama for President. I decided shortly after the RNC, and the respective campaigns&#8217; behavior since then has only reinforced my decision.  I&#8217;m definitely not a straight ticket [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve read the news you have.  How in the world does everything unravel so quickly, and go unnoticed (or at least unchecked) for so long?  A while back I watched a great documentary about the Iraq war called &#8220;No End In Sight&#8221;.  The big takeaway from that movie was how much bad management&#8211;ignorant management&#8211;has [...]]]></description>
