		<description><![CDATA[Advance Warning: I have no formal background in economics. I have a master&#8217;s degree in sociology and a lot of experience working on the topic of knowledge economies, but that&#8217;s about the short of it. Time for my $0.02. Comments/criticism encouraged &#8211; I&#8217;m always interested in improving my understanding of the world. I&#8217;ve been following [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I posted about Ann Coulter&#8217;s &#8220;Purpose-Driven Left&#8221;, where she went on for a while about how Ashley Smith, by reading aloud from The Purpose-Driven Life, &#8220;about serving God by serving others,&#8221; was able to save the Atlanta judge-killer&#8217;s life, and her own, after she was taken hostage. I still get the odd [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to say that I&#8217;m not exactly sure what a &#8220;liberal&#8221; is. Maybe I&#8217;m one, but somehow I&#8217;d rather characterize myself as an apathetic SOB who is too independent to fit neatly into a box&#8230;or is that what a liberal is? In any case, Ann Coulter apparently thinks that these &#8220;liberals&#8221; are what&#8217;s wrong [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an interview floating around on Yahoo! News where Bill Gates is raving about China&#8217;s &#8220;new capitalism&#8221; and how great it is. According to Gates, the best part is: It is a brand-new form of capitalism, and as a consumer its the best thing that ever happened&#8230;[the Chinese model is characterized by a] willingness to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was torturing myself earlier today by spending a few minutes listening to the appallingly mindless shit pouring from the mouths of Bush and Kerry in their recent first debate. At the same time, there were a few other thoughts turning in the back of my head, and the debate, as it were, brought things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was scanning the news yesterday and came across a story describing the Israeli demolition of 35 Palestinian homes in a refugee camp. The IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] of course claimed that the homes were uninhabited and being used as staging grounds for mortar attacks on nearby Israeli settlements. Nobody&#8217;s denying that the said mortar [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read with some surprise today that Cat Stevens was taken from a flight and will be deported from the United States. This shocked me at first, and I began to rack my memory looking for some sort of logical explanation for the inescapable implication that Cat Stevens might be a dangerous terrorist. I mean, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I never bothered looking into Ralph Nader, I decided that, what with the upcoming elections and all of the furor over Nader getting on and off of election ballots, I might as well waste a few minutes to find out who he is. Earlier in the elections, I personally was a bigger fan of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, I ran into this NYT article discussing Ralph Nader&#8217;s inclusion on the Michigan ballot. It appears that Mr. Nader had only 18% or so of the signatures he needed to make the ballot, but miraculously ended up with an extra 45,000 signatures on the petition, courtesy of the Republican Party.
