		<title>Pay your rent &#8212; it&#8217;s a simple rule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fed-up landlord Vanessa McCants, angry that her tenant was not paying rent, decided to take matters into her own hands &#8211;she took a can of spray paint and wrote &#8220;DEADBEAT TENANTS&#8221; on her own building. The story, according to WBTV, is that McCants rented the property (what appears to be a single family home) to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on Arizona&#8217;s Immigration Law and Arguments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some strange yet supposedly valid reason, a coalition of groups &#8212; including Action NC, Bonilla Community Services, Immigrant Solidarity Committee and St Peter’s Catholic Church &#8211; rallied in Charlotte on Thursday to protest Arizona&#8217;s immigration law. According to some of the organizers, the Arizona laws on the books are &#8220;racist&#8221;, and they &#8220;unfairly criminalize [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is NC truly the laziest state? Probably.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to WXII 12, a Bureau of Labor report recently revealed a rather startling, though perhaps not entirely surprising, statistic: North Carolina is the 4th laziest state in the US. With higher leisure times and lower exercise and work times, NC also happens to be tied with Michigan as the 10th most obese state in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harry Reid thinks Nostalgia justifies Legislation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something hit me today about a statement that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) made recently regarding the automaker bailouts. The quote and video, from Real Clear Politics: &#8220;Isn&#8217;t it a good thing today in America that we have an automobile manufacturing sector? If it had been up to them [Republicans], General Motors would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Republican National Committee failed to report $3m</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Republican National Committee has not been doing well. Not long after RNC money was spent on a lesbian bondage themed nightclub, it has recently come to the attention of the press (and the FEC) that the Republican National Committee failed to report a whopping $3 million in debt. In addition to this snafu, though [...]]]></description>

		<title>More, Cheaper, and Better Liquor? Count me in.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell has an idea: free market alcohol. And it&#8217;s a damned good one, one that North Carolina needs to consider as soon as possible. Currently in Virginia, much like in North Carolina, alcohol is monitored by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control &#8212; and, like in North Carolina, you can only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama&#8217;s &#8220;Senior Political Adviser&#8221; slash cook?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the history of US Presidents there have been a number of ridiculous appointments, but this one may very well take the cake: the Obama administration has recently promoted their “Food Initiative Coordinator”-slash-Assistant Chef Sam Kass &#8212; that is, the Obama family cook &#8212; to the position of &#8220;Senior Policy Adviser&#8221;. While this in some [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Choose Life&#8221; plates too political to be fair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ask yourself the following question: is it ever right for a state government to, directly or indirectly, endorse a single political party or organization over another? Is it appropriate for the state government to set up methods in which these organizations can get money? If you said &#8220;no&#8221;, you should also agree that &#8220;Choose Life&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Illegals In-State Tuition is expensive, illogical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate to say this, because I support giving anyone the opportunity for higher education, but let me go ahead and say it: giving illegal immigrant kids access to government-sponsored loans and in-state tuition is, for all intents and purposes, illogical, and essentially punishing legal residents of states for the past crimes of others. Recently, [...]]]></description>
