		<description><![CDATA[By now you&#8217;ve likely heard of Sonia Sotomayor.  This week, President Barrack Obama nominated her to fill the empty position in the U.S. Supreme Court (CNN announcement here). As with any nomination, there&#8217;s always a lot of surrounding debate, sometimes from both sides, about whether or not that candidate is the right one for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to CNN (article here), the California high court just upheld the ban on same-sex marriage.  It did sustain the validity of prior same-sex marriages, but the ban on new marriages was upheld by a 6-1 vote. California&#8217;s Proposition 8, preventing same sex marriage, has been the subject of extreme controversy, as you&#8217;d expect, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  A little while ago, I was talking to a non-Mormon coworker.  He, of course, knew I was Mormon, and as we were talking, he said (in all seriousness): “I heard that Mormons are the ones that invented the Wing Dings font as a secret language”. In case you’re not familiar, Wing Dings are a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today Nebraska lawmakers voted (43-5) to change the state safe-haven law.  All 50 states have these safe-haven laws, allowing parents to leave infants at a hospital anonymously without fear of prosecution.  They were passed in an effort to prevent unwanted babies from being abandoned in less safe locations. But when Nebraska set up their law, [...]]]></description>
