		<title>Show 10: Fine Pickens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[E.J. promises &#8220;an action-packed show,&#8221; but you can only know for sure if you listen&#8230;
Willie seems to perhaps question the efficacy of the &#8220;Pickens Plan&#8221; for solving the nation&#8217;s energy problems. During the ensuing discussion of the potential of wind power, E.J. takes the opportunity to make a dirty joke. Willie keeps it going. Chris [...]]]></description>

		<title>Show 7: All Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you notice the new intro music?  Mr. Gore is gone (for now, temporarily, permanently, who knows), but in his place is the smooth sounds of Mr. EJ Hayes.

Why you trying to kill my phone?
The level of hypocrisy here is deafening.
So I&#8217;ll take my &#8220;thanks&#8221; back.

Three statements that define this show.  And once we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a new theme installed and appropriate changes made, we&#8217;re well on our way to a full Random Inspirations birth.
For some reason, I ended up going with a space theme much more than I anticipated.  I&#8217;m second guessing myself constantly with it, but the more I look at it, the more I am liking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Design Coming Full Circle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how or when it happened or who started it.  I would blame M$ or Apple, but their websites aren&#8217;t the greatest.  I&#8217;m thinking about blaming the French, just b/c it&#8217;s always easy to blame them.
I ran across this article about grid-based design and one line in particular caught my attention:
