					  <link>http://www.politicnow.com/articles/1407/1/Springfield-Illinois-Housing-Market-Home-of-Resiliency/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Last week The Capital Area Association of Realtors released the official numbers for 2009. There was much joy as a four year slide in the number of home sales was stopped as 2009 bested 2008 by 6.5% with 3716 home sales. Throw in a 4.8% increase to a new record high $109,000 median sale price, and it appears the local housing market is in great shape going forward.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Most people would agree that from the announcement of the financial crisis in September of 2009 through the first months of the Obama administration, the country was griped with uncertainty at best, and fear at worst.<BR>
<BR>
There are tell tale signs one can observe from their own local vantage point. We watched the housing market shrink the fourth quarter of 2009 through the first five months of 2009 in Springfield, and then rally on the first time buyer tax credits, and record low interest rates through the end of the year.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The price for gas in most countries typically costs four dollars per gallon. Most companies selling oil gain hundred billion dollars every year. Most people would like to know the answer to the question, why is gas so expensive. Gas stations that operate everyday have a complex process of doing their transactions before they can even serve cars. <BR>

					  <description><![CDATA[South Africa does not issue a visa on arrival and the immigration officer has a right to refuse you entry if you do have a visa.

					  <description><![CDATA[Reading the pedophilia fantasies and other smut that Obama's "Safe Schools Czar" Kevin Jennings and his organization, the  Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) are pushing on American schoolchildren left me feeling incensed. This organization started out as Jennings' own personal project and has grown to be the mammoth organization that it is today, working towards making schools safe for all children, irrespective of their gender identity and sexual orientation.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[In the children's story, The Emperor's New Clothes, a group of charlatans convince a vain emperor that they can make a suit of clothes that will enable him to always pick out the best people for a task because those who are unfitted for their job will be unable to see the new clothes.  <BR>
<BR>
The emperor wanted to obtain the best possible advisors and workmen, and when the crooks finished telling him how wonderful the new clothes would look, and what a wise ruler he would be to take advantage of their offer, he provided the expensive things they requested to do the job.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Chapters four through twelve of Exodus describe the plagues on Egypt that resulted in Israel being freed.  Historically it takes place at the very end of the Middle Kingdom, shortly before the Hyksos domination around 1600 B.C.  It is probable that the events listed in Exodus were major factors in the Hyksos being able to conquer Egypt even though they were rather weak.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Gay couples are obviously not afforded the same rights as hetero couples, and we've all heard the arguments on both sides of the fence. Anti-gay groups and individuals protest loudly while the GLBT community pays out more into the system per household than their hetero counterparts. The straight community certainly doesn't turn away the money generated by keeping gay couples separated.]]></description>
