         <title>Sappy is as sappy does</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Having been out of the state for several weeks, we had a number of old newspapers our neighbor had saved for us to browse through; after many attempts, I have yet to see the system work where the carrier stops delivery on a specifically requested date and restarts upon further notice.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>Watch Out For Wackos</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The first time I read that world Socialists are the driving force behind the environmental movement because they see it as a way to cut the legs off of the U.S. economy and destroy capitalism, I felt it was a little too conspiratorial sounding for credibility.  Now, I believe it to be true.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>The Frigid Berkeley</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>One can’t help wondering whether it is merely coincidental or if the various stories coming out of Minnesota and particularly Minneapolis indicate that the upper Midwestern enclave has become kind of a leftwing hotbed of Marxism akin to our Berkeley/San Francisco embarrassment.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>What is it with Democrat politicians?  They can’t contain themselves from telling little lies to ingratiate themselves to their audience – lies that one can so easily check and, in today’s world of the Internet, someone will surely do.  </p>]]></description>
