		<title>The Geography of a Recession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s some good data visualization of the recent unemployment rate per county in the US:

That&#8217;s what a &#8220;jobless recovery&#8221; looks like.  My prediction: it&#8217;s going to get much, much worse.

		<title>Custom Communication Apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother and business partner Gabe will be helping to lead a discussion on FreeSWITCH and Asterisk at the the Utah Open Source Conference tomorrow.
Gabe is the CTO of our small startup company (Izeni), and our team has built, and continues to build, some pretty cool projects based on these (and other) open source telephony [...]]]></description>

		<title>More School Brainwashing: Obama Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with my recent meme of covering public-school brainwashing, I give you the Obama Kids.

My favorite comment: &#8220;That must be the new &#8216;Future Czars of America&#8217; class.&#8221;  Too true.

		<title>Green Eco-Capitalism as a Lever for a Marxist Revolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This clip is an excellent lesson on the subversive strategies of Marxism.  In it, the (now former) White House &#8220;green czar&#8221; Van Jones explains how the green movement will start out relatively benign, but will eventually transform into an engine for massive (socialist) societal changes.

A quote from the clip:
&#8220;Right now we&#8217;re saying we want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pledging Allegiance to the President</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a follow up to yesterday&#8217;s post, at least one Utah School couldn&#8217;t wait until the 8th to let educational propaganda start rolling.
Here&#8217;s the video they showed in school assembly (which included 1st graders).

Overall, I thought there were several inappropriate parts (including a part about flushing &#8220;deuces&#8221;), but perhaps the most dangerous lines were:
&#8220;I pledge [...]]]></description>

		<title>President Obama&#8217;s Address to Students Across America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Obama will speak to public school children this Tuesday, September 8th. Here is the full text of a document issued by the U.S. Department of Education on how teachers can use the address as a &#8220;teaching&#8221; moment:
PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama&#8217;s Address to Students Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally, some NEA Honesty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hopefully this video of a retiring NEA veteran telling us what he really thinks will shame some of our local UEA members out of sending their dues to the National Education Association.

If nothing else, the video repudiates any notion that the NEA and its affiliates &#8211;the same labor unions that convinced Utahns to kill education [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fiat Money, Fractionally Reserved</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I saw this picture on the unnecessary quotes blog and thought, &#8220;Nope, those quotation marks are definitely necessary.&#8221;
There&#8217;s nothing quite like an accidental jab at the Federal Reserve Banking System&#8217;s legalized monopoly on counterfeiting to make you want to laugh and cry at the same time. :)

		<title>Sunshine on the Federal Reserve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written many times about the evils of central banking, including our own central bank, the &#8220;Federal Reserve&#8221;.
Congressman Ron Paul has written a bill, HR 1207 &#8211; The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, that would go a long way to remedying some of our problems by (essentially) subjecting the Federal Reserve System to audits. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tea Parties: Protesting Taxes, Bailouts, Big Government (Spending), Debt, and Inflation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be taking part in my second-ever protest today.  My first was a recent &#8220;End the Fed&#8221; rally at the SLC branch of the Federal Reserve Bank.  Today I&#8217;m attending a couple of the Utah Tea Parties.
Frankly, I&#8217;m outraged by the tax and spend policies that BOTH major parties have been adhering to [...]]]></description>
