		<description><![CDATA[BIOGRAPHY
Ken&#8217;s favorite quote was from Pablo Picasso: &#8220;some boys wanted to be lawyers, some boys wanted to be doctors. I just wanted to be Picasso.&#8221; Ken was larger than life. It will take us years to figure him out.
I won&#8217;t dwell on Ken&#8217;s achievements in life, but they were substantial. In pursuing his most astonishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By: Kenneth D. Gartrell
One way to evaluate the validity of the book Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi is to consider it and all the significant comments and reviews on Amazon, side by side with the recent &#8220;40-page&#8221; Obama campaign response.  Such an analysis reveals that the controversy over the book is fueled by (and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By: Kenneth D. Gartrell
This book by Jerome R. Corsi is a must read.  It alleges that Barack Obama is a systematic liar, a moral relativist, a dissembler, a betrayer and an extreme leftist (code for Communist).
Summary
Over the first third of the book, Corsi carefully and systematically indentifies many perceived lies and half-truths in Obama&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Concerns that the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times have about the profits of ExxonMobil are pathetic. When will these organizations wake up to their own failings?
Both news organizations are on the brink of financial failure, and yet they do not see any connection between their consistent Socialist, anti-capitalist ideology [...]]]></description>

Viewed from an economic perspective, proposed reparations to be paid to living and future African Americans, as descendants and therefore victims of slavery, are a form of economic damages.  It is an interesting lesson to consider how, in general terms, a dispassionate economist would approach the question of economic damages in [...]]]></description>
