		<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[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[Basketball versus bowling. Who knew it had such implications? I mean, seriously, when is the last time we talked about the Dream Team in the Professional Bowlers Association? 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>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m really not enjoying the strange journey of race in the presidential election thing. 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>

No matter, I guess, as only a couple of hundred will read this, though I feel compelled to say this because I care about things like reason. To start: I remember the [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Two things struck me in recent campaign commentary and &#8220;controversy.&#8221; They say a lot about how, even at a moment when we are witnessing an unthinkable, the pain of the past seems to fog our vision. Yes, I&#8217;m talking about how it is entirely possible that we will have a black president. I wonder if [...]]]></description>
