		<title>Folksinger Joe Crookston&#8217;s &#8220;Freddy the Falcon&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Crookston is certainly one of the finest singer/songwriters ever.  His songs are very good and he sings with a deftness that you really can&#8217;t gauge unless you&#8217;ve tried to be a singer yourself. You can  listen to &#8220;Freddy the Falcon&#8221;  here.  You won&#8217;t be disappointed.  If you want to, you can also download that song [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Like Hot Weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People love to gripe, especially about the weather. Talking about it is one thing, since it&#8217;s something we all share in common. But griping is quite another, and counterproductive. It doesn&#8217;t change the weather, but it does affect attitudes, and not for the better. Of course it&#8217;s hot. It&#8217;s summertime in Memphis, duh! Did you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Flying Autoharp Pick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In church this past Sunday I performed my first autoharp instrumental solo as an intro to a quartet number. The quartet was to break into a rousing a capella singing of &#8220;To Canaan&#8217;s land I&#8217;m on my way&#8221; just as soon as I&#8217;d finished playing one verse and chorus of &#8220;I&#8217;ll Fly Away.&#8221; I started [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Will the Tea Parties Accomplish?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s April 15th, the holiest day on the federal calendar, and angry citizens are attending protest rallies across the country. They&#8217;re calling them &#8220;tea parties,&#8221; for obvious reasons, and they think that their legislators will become scared and begin to roll back the tide of socialism that has been overtaking Washington recently. This optimism is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Disappearing Christmas Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember Christmas morning when I was a boy. We were all outside, playing with our new toys and those of our neighbors&#8217;. Yesterday was Christmas. It was sunny in Memphis and not cold at all. I couldn&#8217;t find a kid anywhere in sight. Where were they? Well, obviously they were inside; but, why? Since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama won; are they happy now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every news source I turn to this morning is intoning the same worshipful liturgy: Obama&#8217;s election shows that we have overcome our nation&#8217;s past. This is all emotive rhetoric, however, because such language cannot be used to manipulate blacks and shake down whites. The tune has to change, and I give it 24-48 hours to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Voting in Memphis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I lived in the southern part of town for ten years, it was common to see poll workers on election day wearing and distributing material advertising one candidate or another named &#8220;Ford.&#8221; The Ford family was somewhat disreputable and heavily involved in gaining and wielding political power. These poll workers would routinely, I&#8217;d say [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Mommy, he called me a socialist!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The presidential election has taken on the quality of an insane asylum run by the inmates. Obama, who is to the left of socialist senator Bernie Sanders, mocks McCain for calling him a socialist. McCain says in speeches, &#8220;My friends, my opponent wants to take your money and give it to people who haven&#8217;t earned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skinheads: &#8220;I&#8217;m an idiot and I can prove it!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today it is our privilege here in Memphis to host two skinheads who have checked into our federal prison after bungling a plan to rob a gun store, kill eighty eight people, behead fourteen blacks (whom, I suppose, they include among the aforementioned people), and then drive their car into Obama while firing guns at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reasons to Vote for Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Obama voters are proving that the presidential election is a farce. Example #1, The Howard Stern Interviews Last week the nation was treated to repeated excerpts from the Howard Stern show in which Obama voters in Harlem claimed that they chose Obama because of his positions on the issues. Then the interviewer asked &#8220;Do you [...]]]></description>
