		<description><![CDATA[I&#8216;m tan, rested and, surprisingly blond. In theory, I&#8217;m enjoying my retirement&#8230;I&#8217;ve done a little quiet consulting for a couple of campaigns here and there, but nothing wildly intense, working to keep an arm&#8217;s distance from politics. And with the way things have been going for the HDCC, avoid getting indicted &#8212; which seems increasingly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I admit with some shame that I was a Boy Scout. And frankly, I&#8217;m kind of angry that I have to be ashamed &#8212; and that I feel even more ashamed today to have worn the uniform.
Certainly, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have given many of us alums something to be shamed about.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the good things about being out of politics is the ability to let it loose again when I write and not soften what&#8217;s on my mind.
So here goes: Hillary Clinton is pushing the Democratic party to its death. What George W. Bush is to America, Clinton is to the Democratic Party.
I don&#8217;t write [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, for a complicated combination of reasons, my political career came to an end.
It was entirely my choice and not prompted by a scandal or any kind of illegal act. And it wasn&#8217;t in protest of anyone else&#8217;s conduct or behavior.
I came to the painful realization that it was too difficult not to be a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Pittsburgh, about 200 miles west of where I sit right now, there&#8217;s a famous radio guy named, wait for it, Mike McGann, who amazingly, is not me. (Truthfully, a fact he should be rather relieved by, too.)
While he probably doesn&#8217;t know who I am, I became aware of him when I applied for an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I suppose the good news is this: 14 weeks after serious surgery, I&#8217;m almost back to myself, which is to say, 80 pounds lighter than I was last summer. My back is still a mess and the primary reason I&#8217;m still not up to full speed.
My break during December, January and February from this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, here I am again dissecting a personal campaign loss.
I&#8217;ll figure out the whys and wherefores later and just thank those who decided to support me. The school referendum made it a strange and complicated contest. I, as the Democrat, opposed the $62.5 million bond issue, while Steve Conary, my opponent, supported it.

		<description><![CDATA[It was kind of hard to miss, former Penn-Delco school board president Keith Crego doing the perp walk on the 11 o&#8217;clock news, his attorney crying foul because he wasn&#8217;t allowed to surrender himself away from the prying eyes of the TV camera.
Obviously, I know that Crego is innocent before proven guilty &#8212; this is [...]]]></description>

As a Web development guy, I think my site is pretty sharp&#8230;and I hope that [...]]]></description>

Mildly sunburned, of course, as I remain the world&#8217;s whitest man (even with SPF 50, I burn like a marshmallow kissin&#8217; a blowtorch) , but I&#8217;m back and ready [...]]]></description>
