		<title>Options are Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A sword-wielding man was shot by police here in Saint Paul yesterday.  I suspect - okay, I hope - few will argue that officers were justified in their use of force in this instance.  However, I have a sneaking suspicion that this incident is going to end with lawsuits - lawsuits which could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple MAC Addresses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief interlude, in the hopes that some of you angry young men and women are Apple geeks:  Are there any devices - network cards, routers, whatever - on the market that aren&#8217;t Apple products, but would have hardware MAC addresses &#8220;belonging&#8221; to Apple?
I know MAC addresses can be spoofed, of course - I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Much Ado About Nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last week or so, there has been all kinds of hysteria over the City&#8217;s plans to acquire tasers for every officer in the SPPD.  There&#8217;s a small but vocal crowd who are opposed to tasers on philosophical grounds, calling them instruments of &#8220;torture&#8221;, and who apparently think that the British model of [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Preposterous Repression of Protesters&#8217; Rights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this morning it was reported that a couple of the elitist kidddies from the RNC &#8216;Welcoming Committee&#8217; have - OMG, OMG - been barred from entering Canada.  There&#8217;s no official word on their website yet (it&#8217;ll probably be a couple days before the &#8220;Committee&#8221; agrees on the wording of their statement), but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Infrastructure - The *Real* Security Concern?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While millions of dollars are being spent to protect delegates, the media, and other potential victims from terrorism during the 2008 RNC convention - be it the ever-present fear of al Qaeda, or more local, domestic terror organizations - you have to wonder if some of that money might be better spent elsewhere.
Scratch that, there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Fun in 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure when it was announced, but the Family Motor Coach Association - i.e. the RV owners who aren&#8217;t social misfits - is having their 80th annual international convention in St. Paul, from 14-17 July, 2008.  Understandably, these fine folks and their expensive gas-guzzling behemoths will be at the fairgrounds, not the Xcel [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s $39 Million Between Friends?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even if they never have to pony up a penny, someone&#8217;s going to have to guarantee operating expenses for the RNC convention in St. Paul in 2008 - up to 39 million dollars.  It could be the state; it could be the Metropolitan Council; it could be some other body.  Nobody&#8217;s quite sure [...]]]></description>
