		<description><![CDATA[I saw an ad for Saturn cars tonight that said &#8220;Rethink MPG&#8221;. It bragged that one of their cars got 32 MPG highway, and another got 30. Back in 1994, when my SL-1 was built, they got made cars that got 40 MPG highway.
Guys, any possibility you could un-rethink MPG?

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 1:30 am, and I just came in from checking out Jupiter and four of its moons in my little telescope. It was even cooler than when I first looked at Saturn just after getting the telescope a few months ago.
The moment it appeared in the eyepiece, before even focusing, I immediately recognized what I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

Last week, I picked up my first telescope at a local auction for $14. It&#8217;s one that used to sell at Walmart for $99, so it&#8217;s obviously not [...]]]></description>

And I&#8217;m not at all opposed to outsourcing. Nor would I be opposed to hiring in India for email support reps.
