		<title>Time for a Real Left Wing Conspiracy Online?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Recently, a reporter for Alternet uncovered a vast conspiracy of right wingers to essentially take over Digg, ironically in what they thought was a backlash against the vast left wing conspiracy to sway opinion on the popular social networking site. Does this mean it is time for the left to launch online counter measures?
Up until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Will Never Get an RRSP Again &#8211; And How You Can Avoid Them Too</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
When I was working in the corporate world, RRSP&#8217;s were the only tax break available to me. It was the only way that I could not pay tax for the year. I would rather put the money in an RRSP than give it to Revenue Canada, and that is how I justified it.
A couple of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Weight Loss Guide for Myself&#8230; Starting Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Last week, I met with a hepatologist, or liver specialist. He had the pleasing news that my liver was functioning normally, but that I had to lose 20 lbs to keep it working that way. Right now, my liver enzyme levels are elevated over normal.
This has mostly to do with a lack of exercise. My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I&#8217;ve been spending the last couple of years kicking myself in the brain for being involved in a fringe religion for most of my teen and adult life. The process of deprogramming myself has been somewhat painful and I finally reached a milestone last week when I packed up all of my old books, in [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Doth Twilight Sucketh? Let Me Count The Ways&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

I recently reread &#8220;The Vampire Lestat&#8221; and thought it was complete ass on the second go round. However, it had many things that the current popular vampire series completely lacks, such as plots that make sense, halfway decent writing, and a complete lack of glitter.
1. Bad Writing
While most English majors would argue that most bestselling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Here&#8217;s the thing, GG. I&#8217;ve been really good this past year, volunteering my time to help people set up their websites, working hard, and generally launching my writing career into the stratosphere. That took a lot of work.
After all that work, GG, I think I need a break. I mean, if you took one look [...]]]></description>

If you are on a budget, or even if you&#8217;re not and you want to save oodles of money on an everyday expense, it is necessary to educate yourself in proper grocery shopping.
I took some business classes and one of the most eye-opening seminars was from a business consultant who frequently does work for businesses [...]]]></description>

Hi There:
I sent the following letter yesterday, and thought I should follow it up with a thank you letter for agreeing to disassociate Sarah Palin with Hamilton Health Sciences.

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Hi There:
A couple of years ago, Hamilton Health Sciences saved the life of my partner through chemotherapy, radiation and a successful surgery to minimize and remove a cancerous tumour.
Now I see one will be speaking on your behalf in April, as evidenced by this Toronto Star article:
