		<title>Reconsidering Lesbianism or Sex Change Operative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

 I have been straight for 56 years and I will always be straight because there isn’t anything I can do about it, but I have recently considered expanding my libido choices.

		<title>Who&#8217;s Afraid of Laurel Casey? by Sue LaMond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It is strangely warm for a Christmas Eve but a crisp, wet winter wind periodically gusts through the outdoor courtyard of the Salvation Café. As the audience begins to trickle in, I find myself privy to their expectations. “I thought it was going to be later, Laurel never performs this early.” whines a local insider [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Sing for Champagne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here it comes. Stalemate. Good thing I love a challenge, like finding a jazz gig as the recession deepens, consumers stay home and eat canned beans, club owners panic. I have decided that if need be, I will perform for free, or at least for champagne. As Oscar Wilde said, &#8220;Give me the luxuries and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks to some wise nightclubs owners, live entertainers continue to eat well during this economic downturn. It was during the Great Depression that Cabaret and Vaudeville got their start as people swarmed into the pubs to forget their troubles for a few hours. The cost/value ratio of live entertainment suits the recession pocket book and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are women who kill animals for sport, and bring their children along with them. They run for political  appointments. They get knocked up at middle age, when there is a good chance of giving birth to a special needs child. God does not allow birth control. They are pro-life, except where animals are concerned, then they are pro-shoot, stuff and mount. No [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Jazz GigToilet Bowl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Consider working in an industry where the unemployment rate is minus 3,900 percent. That&#8217;s the music business. Jazz is ten times worse, in fact I have heard that it is easier to become a Vice Presidential candidate than to get a jazz gig during a recession. I only have a gig because my dear friend, [...]]]></description>
