		<description>What a fun variation! Russian tea cakes, as we call the “standard” version are my husband’s favorites and I just made a batch last night. We tried a lemon-coconut variety last week, and I’m sure he would be willing to give these a test-run, too!</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Systems of nepotism disadvantage poor white people as much as they disadvantage poor minorities.  Affirmative Action doesn&#039;t right this imbalance of opportunity, it simply shifts the weight of the imbalance further onto poor white people.  The only equitable solution is a system based on socio-economic status.&lt;/p&gt;

* * * * * * 
&lt;I&gt;Yes. Good point. I totally agree.

		<description>I started to lose interest in the show at the close of Season 4 when the girl that worked so hard was not also hired. I felt she got a bum deal.

Then during Season 5 I was busy with a &quot;Real Estate&quot; project of my own - building a storage shed - and just did not have time to watch it after about half-way into the season.

Now with this shocker I do not plan to watch it ever again. I just don&#039;t care for &quot;The Donald Trump Show&quot;.

Besides that, I am tired of watching the immaturity of the contestants with their infighting. It has become quite stale.</description>

		<description>Wow - big news. I have to admit, I haven&#039;t watched The Apprentice since Kendra wiped the floor with Tana&#039;s bedazzled ass. Now, with Carolyn out, I have even less of a reason to tune in. Sounds like he&#039;s turning it into a cross between The Apprentice and The Osbournes.</description>
