		<title>Public Office and Private Morality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
photo credit: aurélien.
Just to be clear from the beginning, this topic is inspired by the Kevin Garn story and while I will refer to that story specifically everything I say is meant to apply to any matters of the private morality of a public official.
First, I would like to say that Rep. Garn seems to [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/public-office-and-private-morality/#comments">(2 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Senator Cook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case anyone has forgotten (or perhaps you simply missed this blip of news) Merrill Cook is running to replace Bob Bennett in the U.S. Senate. If you happen to be among the forgetful or uninformed you are hereby unequivocally forgiven based on the fact that Mr. Cook made his announcement (at the same time [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/senator-cook/#comments">Leave a Comment</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Stuck in Limbo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The funny thing about expectations is that they can serve to motivate our actions. I had held an expectation for myself that I would write daily (or almost daily) on all weekdays. It was hard at times to find things to write about and even harder to write anything of substance (as evidenced by some [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/stuck-in-limbo/#comments">(2 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Meet the Candidates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ben Horsley, a friend and candidate for House District 19 this year, put together a meet the candidates event as part of his campaign on Saturday at Bountiful City Hall. This was not a chance to meet the candidates for District 19 (where I don&#8217;t live anyway but if I did I&#8217;d be voting for [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/meet-the-candidates/#comments">(3 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Resetting Expectations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been profoundly disappointed in my lack of opportunity to write here lately (combined with a drastic scaling back in my ability to comment elsewhere or participate in other related activities). I am forced to admit that this situation is likely to continue for an extended period of time and must reset my own [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/resetting-expectations/#comments">(5 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Evolving News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s interesting to watch as nothing turns into a news story. Here&#8217;s the roundup of one such process from this week.
Holly Richardson writes about Tim Bridgewater&#8217;s momentum. When she talks about his fund raising she doesn&#8217;t mention that over 80% of it was a loan to himself. Tim likes the coverage (naturally) and the next [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/evolving-news/#comments">(2 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Multi-Dimensional Political Perspectives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Jane Hamsher wrote about the 11 Dimensional Chess approach to health care legislation that the Obama administration tried. That sent me back to some earlier thoughts I had shared about how we visualize the political spectrum. The simplest way to view things is one dimensional. Like the opening image here it breaks down [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/multi-dimensional-political-perspectives/#comments">(3 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Endorsing Mike Lee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last night I finally got to meet Mike Lee in person. I had been looking forward to the opportunity for a number of reasons. As long as I have been interested in this Senate race I have been carefully looking at the many candidates (past and present). Even before Mike entered the race I had [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/endorsing-mike-lee/#comments">(2 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Rely on the Altruism of Baby Boomers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[David Brooks must have thought yesterday was April Fools Day &#8211; that or he thinks he&#8217;s getting old so he decided to pen a column painting a rosy picture for seniors by coming to a senile conclusion. In The Geezers’ Crusade he comes to this wildly impossible conclusion:
It now seems clear that the only way [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/dont-rely-on-the-altruism-of-baby-boomers/#comments">(2 comments)</a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Abolish Earmarks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
photo credit: Skrewtape
For some time I have been internally conflicted on the issue of congressional earmarking. Many people, including such diverse characters as President Obama and Congressman Chaffetz, have been vocal about calling for an end to earmarks. Others such as my own Congressman, Rob Bishop, reply that earmarks are not an addition to the [...]<div class="tantan-getcomments"><a href="http://www.Pursuit-of-Liberty.com/2010/abolish-earmarks/#comments">(27 comments)</a></div>]]></description>
