		<description><![CDATA[&#8211; by Mike Murray Many Bereans are, no doubt, confused by conflicting content published in the News Sun.  For weeks, they read about Cyril Kleem&#8217;s health problems, his absences from office, his hospital stay(s), his thoughts of suicide, his brushes with the law. The News Sun&#8217;s reporting of bizarre circumstances surrounding Kleem culminated with an <a href="http://bereapundit.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/end-anonymous-editorials/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bereapundit.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10662923&amp;post=1429&amp;subd=bereapundit&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

A campaign flyer, recently delivered door-to-door, signaled the 2011 descent of the road-kill-eating critters upon B-Town.  In the flyer, some of Kleem&#8217;s staunchest supporters <a href="http://bereapundit.wordpress.com/2011/04/28/buzzards-return-to-berea/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bereapundit.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10662923&amp;post=1405&amp;subd=bereapundit&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8211; by Mike Murray It&#8217;s all the rage right now: GOP governors and state legislators ferreting out suspected fiscal irresponsibility &#8212; and taking steps to eradicate it. Most often, those steps involve a push to eliminate (or to severely reduce) the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Where those efforts are sincere, they are laudable. <a href="http://bereapundit.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/states-waste-fraud-and-abuse/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bereapundit.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10662923&amp;post=1367&amp;subd=bereapundit&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Huck in 2007-2008 was the Republican reincarnation of Ross Perot.
