		<description><![CDATA[ Blood is thicker than water, they say. Oh, really? What about those rich families who disown their children and leave them nothing? Zilch, Nada. Disowning children is a popular pastime among many cultures to make family trees look like twigs.
In general, though, I do think families stick together like peanut butter and jelly. Perhaps [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When I was a kid, I used to read everything from Spider-Man to X-Men, but Iron Man was never one of my favorite comic book heroes. Who would have imagined in years to come that all these superheroes&#8217; stories would become blockbuster movies? I guess it&#8217;s like Bonnie Tyler&#8217;s hit song, &#8220;I Need a [...]]]></description>

When he mocked Hillary Clinton&#8217;s emotional talk during the New Hampshire primaries, his body movements were jerking around as he did when he mocked Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson&#8217;s Disease. Why is he so polarizing?
Most Americans I know respect the opinions [...]]]></description>

In fact, in my little home town of Kenton, Ohio, the only major shopping center is the Kmart&#8211; and a few years ago when rumors of bankruptcy abounded, all the Kentonites didn&#8217;t feel oK.

We had lead, uranium, titanium, and Rush Limbaugh&#8217;s gigantically obscene belly in our feet. Imagine the terror we created on [...]]]></description>

Rin Tin Tin was a beautiful German Shepard (not a killer like Cujo, the rabid St. Bernard). Benji was an amazing mixed breed. Snoopy was an imaginative beagle, but never really looked [...]]]></description>
