		<description><![CDATA[On my drive to work this morning, I noticed the flashing digital sign in front of our local Pontiac/Buick dealership. All the advertisement declared massive reductions on prices. MSRP $29k&#8230;NOW $21k. MSRP $18.5k&#8230;NOW $15k. MSRP $23k&#8230;NOW $17.9k. You get the hint. While taking in the blitz of markdowns, the talk on CNBC radio was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I woke up this morning to find our region blanketed by lake-effect snow. Was I ever surprised since the evening news made no mention of a winter snow advisory. So the first thing I did was get dressed to go shovel my driveway, which is 24 feet wide by 30 feet long. By my estimates, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I was reading the article &#8220;Employers Offer Workers Fewer Health Care Plans&#8220; posted in this morning&#8217;s NY Times, it occurred to me that the article was very reminiscent of the mortgage industry.
