		<title>Schit schow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow, someone didn&#8217;t know how to spell &#8220;school&#8221; and put it in the asphalt. This was outside 3 schools. Wonder if s/he knew how to pronounce it. And we get pissed at people who call 911 for stupid stuff&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s interesting that some hospitals have such restrictive policies regarding the use of restraints. It&#8217;s also interesting that some ED staff members adopt such a naive and coddling approach toward people who should be in restraints.

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re not rich or in politics, Wall Street is not your friend. You would think this is obvious, but somehow people keep voting against their self-interest.
