			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Single-parent blogger Jennifer Wolf addresses <a href="http://singleparents.about.com/b/2009/02/21/economic-stimulus-package-2009-how-much-will-single-parents-receive.htm" target="_blank">an interesting issue </a>in her About.com column: Are single parents included under &#8220;families&#8221; getting a helping hand in the new economic stimulus package? Well, according to her, the wording of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 suggests not.</p>

	<p>There&#8217;s at least some legs to the issue: Examiner.com p<a href="http://www.examiner.com/new_york/" target="_blank">icked it on their site</a>. To me, it&#8217;s less about the stimulus package and more about the redefinition of &#8220;family,&#8221; as Wolf points out. I suppose there&#8217;s two viewpoints on this: A family should legally be a traditional family, or it should be much more loosely defined. The latter is up for interpretation, either a household of children and at least one adult in a parenting role, or whatever.  And you could argue that the traditional family definition ignores some demographic realities.</p>

	<p>No doubt the issue is heightened when you&#8217;re talking about who gets stimulus money and how much is out there to give. But I suspect it&#8217;s a gray area we&#8217;re going to have to define at some point or other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>If your kids are anything like ours, there&#8217;s no toy more magical&#8212;or time-tested&#8212;than <a href="http://www.lego.com/en-US/default.aspx" target="_blank">Legos</a>. Well, my colleagues at LoHud&#8217;s <a href="http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/" target="_blank">Politics on Hudson</a> blog came up with a good and timely link. The folks at <a href="http://www.halftondesign.com/legoland/legolandca/" target="_blank">Legoland in California</a> put together an impressive Legos display of Barack Obama&#8217;s inauguration today. <a href="http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2009/01/20/obama-inauguration-recreated-in-legos/" target="_blank">Politics on Hudson just posted</a> this link with tons of photos of the display published online by the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/howaboutthat/4270990/Barack-Obamas-inauguration-in-Legoland-California.html" target="_blank">Telegraph of London</a>.</p>

	<p>Personally, I can&#8217;t wait to get home to show my son the link tonight. Seems we&#8217;re always sharing this link or that one that we stumble upon these days. When I was a kid my parents and my brother would always be sharing an article, a book or a song they came across. This is obviously the computer-age version of that. Seems the more things change the more they stay the same. Kinda cool, huh?</p>
