		<description><![CDATA[As hopefully most of you know, today is Election Day. For a primer on what the national media is watching, I strongly recommend Washington Post&#8217;s The Fix blog. Though the attention will be on Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio and others, I&#8217;m watching a few other races: 1. The big one in Texas, Proposition 8, which will do much to preserve Texas&#8217; dwindling water supply. Proposed by State Senator (and GNI client) Kirk Watson, I think Prop 8 goes up big. Here&#8217;s the Senator&#8217;s description. My prediction: Passes big. 2. The much-publicized Mississippi Proposition 26, which would define personhood at conception. Besides [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, let me say that I am not an economics expert. I did not excel at economics in college (though I did better than Rick Perry) but have tried to learn as much as I can since. With that caveat, I&#8217;ve noticed a number of recent proposals that don&#8217;t make a lot of sense to me: tax incentives to hire the unemployed. Let me be very clear, I strongly support tax incentives to encourage hiring. Government action is the only way we can turn around the economy. But I don&#8217;t understand the value of hiring an unemployed worker, as opposed [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s running against presiding Judge Sharon Keller. &#8211; promoted by Katherine Haenschen) For over a year, I have worked tirelessly to persuade Republican Judge Larry Meyers to become the first statewide Republican to switch parties. I was so convinced he would run against Presiding Judge Sharon Keller as a Democrat, I decided to run in an open seat to ensure we had a Democratic candidate in each race. But after weeks of meetings at Texas [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear lawmaker, next time please use Twitter Posted: Austin American-Statesman by Ken Herman, Commentary It&#8217;s important that our elected leaders stay in touch with us as they go about their appointed duties. So it&#8217;s a good thing when state legislators inform us about what they&#8217;re up to, right? Yes, generally. But sometimes there&#8217;s other stuff. I quote, in its entirety, a recent release from state Rep. Roberto Alonzo, D-Dallas, labeled &#8220;For Immediate Release&#8221; and including three phone numbers to call &#8220;for more information.&#8221; Don&#8217;t worry. This won&#8217;t take long. Here we go: &#8220;Texas state Representative Roberto R. Alonzo and his wife [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just discovered this new product from Google, What do you love? Found at www.wdyl.com, it is an aggregator of all of Google&#8217;s tools. As Mashable put it, &#8220;It’s a simple search box, similar to the one on Google’s homepage, but it returns results from more than 20 different Google services, including Google Translate, Trends, YouTube, Maps and Groups.&#8221; I don&#8217;t see any actual practical value of the service, but &#8211; like so many of Google&#8217;s products &#8211; it&#8217;s just so cool! Here&#8217;s the first page of what I got when I searched for the Red Sox (something that I love): [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gowalla announced earlier this week that the company’s geo-social app is being revamped to function as a social travel guide for over 60 cities worldwide. The location-based social network’s newest version will do away with “check-ins” and aims to include travel-oriented recommendations unique to each user as well as more user-generated content curated by a mixture of friends, locals and experts. The app will allow users to create “stories” around their travel experiences with other users interacting at the same location. Although Gowalla CEO Josh Williams insists that the Austin-based company has always been about sharing high-level experiences and much [...]]]></description>
