		<description><![CDATA[So, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. And it goes to Barack Obama, which has now set off an avalanche of grousing and complaining and sarcasm from the right and left. At least we won&#8217;t have to talk about the Olympics not being in Chicago any longer. It is always noteworthy when the right and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But I'd ask you to consider this: what if Annie Leibovitz was black? Well, we don't have to imagine. There are plenty of cases of rich black people in the public eye, who get famous and rich and then go broke. We laugh at them. We sneer at them and talk about how stupid they were to blow millions and not plan well. They end up on VH-1. First, in Behind the Music. Second, on some degrading reality show.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so a long election cycle is over. I wondered if the chattering class &#8211; a class to which I aspire &#8211; would have much left to say. I mean, seriously, so much has been said already. I&#8217;m of course wrong. I should have known that the big and apparently only question would be raised: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading the goodbye tributes to Isaac Hayes. I lived in Memphis for a handful-plus years and have, since I was a teenager, loved Memphis music. Hi-Records has always been by far my favorite, but the Stax sound is really the only thing in Memphis that can compare. So, I read the tributes to [...]]]></description>

Or even just saw bowling on television at a time other than 3pm on a Sunday? Turns out, this might be an important signifier in electoral rhetoric. [...]]]></description>

I doubt many people are, save for the occasional Karl Rove, for whom it is a fabulous tactic &#8211; if you&#8217;re creative. I must admit to being surprised, though, to see the issue of reparations come up. It&#8217;s a nuanced and [...]]]></description>

Or at least have something to say about about contemporary things, so I&#8217;m just so pleased to see Robert Meagher write this piece about fear and hope. The range &#8211; and so the possibilities &#8211; of human emotion is [...]]]></description>

Why did Obama have to give this sort of speech? Who provoked it and why? But it [...]]]></description>
