 <description> <![CDATA[<p>Big News! Mad Kane's Notables has moved, and is now <a  target="_blank" href="http://www.madkane.com/madness/">Mad Kane's Political Madness.</a> 
I explain <a  target="_blank" href="http://www.madkane.com/madness/2006/09/26/my-notables-blog-is-now-mad-kanes-political-madness/">why I made the change here.</a> But first, a limerick to celebrate my political blog's relocation:

<p><b>Blog Relocation Limerick</b>   
<br>By Madeleine Begun Kane

<Br>It takes time from my being a bard.
<Br>So I now blog with WordPress,
<Br>New name, look, and <a  target="_blank" href="http://www.madkane.com/madness/">address.</a>
<Br>Please link, so my traffic ain’t marred.
