		<description><![CDATA[Just watched an ad for a medication and it hit me that there is a trend these days that rivals the values and bad tastes of the old days and advertising of cigarettes, booze, guns, and the &#8220;little woman.&#8221; In the ad there is a grandfather playing miniature golf with two boys, likely his grandsons.

The only good news is that after the primaries, at least there will be fewer of them.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no big surprise that older workers who have been laid off are having a much harder time finding a job than younger workers. It&#8217;s always been that way, and with the current unemployment near 10%, it&#8217;s only gotten worse. And yes, there are things to do with your resume that can creatively overlook some [...]]]></description>
