	<itunes:summary>Mike Dell&#039;s audio Blog. Since April 2005 I have used the Benzoid Report as my test podcast and to keep my friends updated on whats going on in Northern Michigan.  I play some tunes, rant a bit, and just talk about things such as Motorcycling, Snowshoeing, skiing, Kayaking, Camping, Ham Radio, Banjo, Radio, and a bunch of other stuff. In August 2008 I re-named the podcast and blog to Mike Dell&#039;s World to more accurately describe what I do.  

I also produce the Ham Radio Podclass, Geek of the North and I co-host What&#039;s Up With That? With Jim Farley </itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.<br />
</strong>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. </p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. </p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. </p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. </p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>In fact, Governmentium&#8217;s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. </p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. </p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chicago War Zone Information<br />
Body count:<br />
 In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago vs. 221 killed in Iraq.<br />
Senaators. Barack Obama &#038; Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader<br />
Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley&#8230;The leadership in Illinois&#8230;all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago!<br />
Of course they&#8217;re all blaming each other. Can&#8217;t blame Republicans, there aren&#8217;t any!<br />
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.<br />
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look &#8216;em up if you want).<br />
Chicago school system one of the worst in country.<br />
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. He&#8217;s gonna &#8216;fix&#8217; Washington politics?</p>
<ol>
</ol>
<p>I think he needs to stay right in Chicago and fix that first.. Then he can worry about the US and the world.</p>
