		<title>Made in xxx</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I guess it&#8217;s time that I talk a little bit about the whole Made in China, Made in USA, made on Earth topic. My buddy Jack Justis writes on one of his sales pitch threads &#8211; &#8220;Remember to support America and buy US made products.&#8221; Now this is particularly hypocritical coming from a man who [...]]]></description>

I have had many leather cases over the years &#8211; I can&#8217;t even remember them all &#8211; and was never really happy with any of them except for a little 1&#215;2 case made by Marc Turcasso.

		<title>Jack Justis &#8211; No Concern for His Customer&#8217;s Cues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This question was asked by a person on the AZB forum: &#8220;Why wouldn&#8217;t every manufacturer include a tighter fitting padded inside?&#8230;it only makes sense IMHO&#8230;&#8221; Mr. Justis responds, &#8220;Mainly because it offers nothing more than a catalist (sp) when mixed with chalk dust to damage the cues finish.
