		<title>The Institute on the Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure yesterday of being a guest on Common Sense Investing.  Kevin Clark, host of the show and President of Quintessential Retirement Services, Inc. invited me on the show to talk about our purpose and how imbalanced government affects all our lives.

		<title>&#8220;It&#8217;s Complicated&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, this post isn&#8217;t about the movie by the same name.  This post is about the surprisingly astute commentary by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.  For my more sensitive readers, please forgive the name of the video and periodic colorful language (Jon&#8217;s writers, not my idea).  At about the three-minute mark, Stewart begins addressing [...]]]></description>
