		<description><![CDATA[“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
So reads what is known universally as “The Serenity Prayer” as it is used in 12-step groups all over the world.  So wrote Reinhold Niebuhr, or so the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I make no claim to understand economics.  None whatsoever.  Never took a course in it, have no &#8220;investments&#8221; other than the Pension Fund and the Credit Union accounts, and have no idea what &#8220;retirement&#8221; would even look like.

I grew up in Texas where we always chose our delegates in caucuses &#8212; precinct caucuses.  I didn&#8217;t know exactly what they were, but my dad was precinct chair and I remember going to the caucus with him.  They were in the evening.  I somehow don&#8217;t remember Mother going &#8212; maybe my [...]]]></description>
