I am a wine lover, an amateur taster, and I prefer ruby-rose dry wine. A bottle of 1976 Penfolds Grange was the best wine I ever tasted, it was dark, inky, well-balanced, full-bodied, and it had great fruit. I presented my &lt;a style="visibility:hidden;"&gt;interior design resume&lt;/a&gt; along with a bottle from that wine.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2012 House Bill 5372 (Appropriations: “Omnibus” education budget )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/289989.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:39:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:289989</guid><dc:creator>opaler</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/289989.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=10&amp;PostID=289989</wfw:commentRss><description>I wouldn&amp;#39;t say Luxembourg is a secrecy jurisdiction of bad faith, it&amp;#39;s more like a &lt;a style="visibility:hidden;"&gt;las vegas vacation&lt;/a&gt;, or a country that&amp;#39;s too rich to be inhabited by regular people.

More money every year and no accountability in sight.
Save taxpayers money and give the kids the education they so desperately need.
