		<title>Digital Ed Board- Columbia&#8217;s Hostage Rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Columbia freed a group of more than a dozen hostages without firing a bullet. They did this through terrific intelligence and intimate familiarity with the group in question. Their President has repeatedly demonstrated he will not negotiate with terrorists, and has instead chased them down through infiltrating their organization. We could learn a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Conservative Obit. (and perhaps more pertinent)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three major conservative idealogues of the past half-century have passed away this year in an eerie progression: William F. Buckley, Jr. (27 Feb.), Charlton Heston (5 April) and now former Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) on July 4th.
With the ascension of Barack Obama to national political prominence, the LA Times notes, his passing may symbolize the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s about time the New York Times recognized that this race to the White House will be shaped more than ever by You-Tube and bloggers on the advertising front.
I mean how many college students really watch television or would be influenced by the sort of adds run with the 5 o&#8217;clock news? TV is so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital Ed Board</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Check out this article from the NYT.
WASHINGTON — The House on Friday overwhelmingly approved a bill overhauling the rules on the government’s wiretapping powers and conferring what amounts to legal immunity to the telephone companies that took part in President Bush’s program of eavesdropping without warrants after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
 It isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I was going to College Mall the other day for a haircut, I stumble across this gem of a public information sign right past the main entrance.

 Fantastic. I know.
 My chief complaint isn&#8217;t even that it essentially treats teenage mall patrons like Islamic Women under Shariah law, as it prevents them from gathering in groups of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Battleground Indiana?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Barack Obama just released his first general election television ad. It basically rehashes Obama&#8217;s life story while emphasizing his commitment to American (or in this case Kansan) values. The ad reviews Obama&#8217;s stint as a community organizer in Chicago and his childhood with has mother and grandparents. It noticeably omits Obama&#8217;s time in Indonesia and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Divided or diversified?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Indiana&#8217;s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jill Long Thompson announced her pick for Lt. Governor today.  Joining her ticket will be Denny Oxley.  Several critics were quick to pick up on the fact that, while he&#8217;s known as a great fund raiser, Oxley differs from Long Thompson on several of her platform issues.  http://www.indianabarrister.com/archives/2008/06/are_they_on_the_same_page.html.

		<title>Endorsement = Estrangement?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After his loss to hard-lefty Ned Lamont two summers ago, Independent Joe Lieberman doesn&#8217;t seem too pleased with his former party&#8217;s brand of partisan politics and has endorsed John McCain for president.
He&#8217;s always been a bit of a black sheep, as Democrats go, especially in his short-lived bid for the White House in 2004.  Party leaders [...]]]></description>

		<title>Less ads + More program time = FOX making a right decision?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FOX recently announced that they would run less commercials - up to a 50 percent decrease - on their two newest and brightest shows, &#8220;Fringe&#8221; and &#8220;Dollhouse,&#8221; a move that has been widely accepted by viewers. 
Now it seems that Fox, which has just simply jacked up the ad rates they had remaining, has made [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s nothing older than yesterday&#8217;s newspaper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark Twain, master of wit, once made this wise quip.
He may have been outdone.  The New York Time&#8217;s front page contained the headline, &#8220;Bush Overstated Evidence on Iraq, Senators Report.&#8221;
Let&#8217;s see, that&#8217;s only been news for, what&#8230; about five years?  It&#8217;s good to see there is so much intellectual vigor and innovation in [...]]]></description>
