		<description><![CDATA[Upon my discovery of ESPN&#8217;s Chicago themed sub-site, I was excited to have a page devoted to all my favorite teams. It only really bothered me a little that I have to get Fighting Irish news alongside my Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, White Sox, and Cubs news.  Then football season started and Melissa Isaacson and Jeff [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was growing up, Milton Bradley was a game company.   Then again, when I was growing up there wasn&#8217;t such a sense of entitlement and self-aggrandizing behavior.  Some people you love to hate.   I can&#8217;t even love hating him.  I think Milton Bradley should curl up somewhere dark and be forgotten.   &#8220;If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So my wife goes into Brent&#8217;s Deli yesterday (knowing full-well how I feel about that place) for lunch with her mom.  She was told she couldn&#8217;t be seated until her entire party was present.  She asked when that had changed because she&#8217;d never heard that before.  The hostess rudely told her that she&#8217;d just have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coming Soon, an over-grown iPhone3G with a major flaw. Apple introduced its latest crowing achievement last week to an underwhelming response.  The new iPad has nearly all the functionality of an iPhone3G without the convenient size. What CAN it do? Everything you can do with an Iphone, except make calls and fit in your pocket. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the first "hands-free"corded earsets arrived for cellphones, I used to laugh at people who would hold the microphone that was halfway down the cord, right in front of their mouth... thus defeating the purpose of using a "hands-free" device.  Then I scowled at people who hold their phone 4 inches from their face using the speakerphone feature while pretending that they are obeying the California hands-free cellphone laws.
