		<description>P.S.  If you would read my blog -- which you of course should -- you would already know that unemployment in the City of Los Angeles is at 14.0%.  Thank you, Mayor Villaraigosa, for managing, through your policies, to make the economy even worse here than it is everywhere else!  We are so lucky to have a &quot;progressive&quot; in office, rather than some cretin who would try to make this a good place for employers.</description>

		<description>Actions have consequences.

Molesting a child, raping a woman, robbing a bank, stealing a car -- all of those actions have consequences.

Working hard, studying, saving money -- those actions have consequences, too.

Yes, of course felons have a hard time convincing people to entrust them with their lives, their property, and their business.  Is that supposed to be surprising?

You want to work on that problem?  Focus on getting people to obey the law in the first place.</description>

		<description>Guess who the serial posting whacko is?
His initial are D.Q. 
Google &quot;Don Quixote Lou Dobbs&quot;

******************************
&lt;i&gt;
Just like Coulter, Hannity, Savage, Limbaugh, etc., etc., Dobbs is a construct invented by enterprising people who know that the more absurd and extreme they act, the better they can appeal to the more base instincts of a skittish undereducated public who is looking for the blood of convenient scapegoats. These performers know what theyâ€™re doing, and are getting filthy rich of their acts. But câ€™mon, no one can really be like the character â€œLou Dobbsâ€ performs on TV, can they? That disingenuous grin on that fat face, the way he grits his teeth and fumes â€œTHE OUTRAGEâ€¦ THOSE IDIOTSâ€¦â€, name-calling as a debating tactic, etc.
