		<description><![CDATA[Saw some people lamenting the closing of Borders stores seemingly everywhere. Yeah, it&#8217;s sad. But why can&#8217;t someone(s) start a non-profit which takes donations, sells coffee, and offers services like mentorship to run awesome urban bookstores?

		<description><![CDATA[When did government become a business? I keep hearing government called a business, and business terms like &#8220;efficiency&#8221; creeps into the lexicon here among progressive Washington folk.
