		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago, I posted this reflection on Columbus Day. I was prompted to the reflection in part by an ongoing tiff with the very idea of Columbus Day, the idea that we mark such a terrifying event in world history with a day of leisure. I was prompted just as much (or more) by a New York Times article on laying claim to the Columbus name...what it means to be a long descended relative, etc. On this Columbus Day, I wanted to revisit the holiday and a particular video that's making the viral rounds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Updated thoughts on Columbus Day&#8230;HERE. I&#8217;ve debated whether or not to blog on Columbus Day. Not &#8220;on&#8221; this particular day &#8211; though a case can be made for a day of silence today &#8211; but &#8220;about&#8221; this day, this figure, this holiday. I&#8217;d decided not. I didn&#8217;t want to be too trite or repetitive, just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It had to happen. The problem of outsourcing is very real for the United States, and puts us all in such a precarious political and social space. Politically, outsourcing is bad for us because it chooses cheaper labor at the expense of our national interest in reasonable (full?) employment for our fellow citizens. Socially, outsourcing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was driving home and listening to one of my least favorite shows on National Public Radio &#8211; Marketplace &#8211; when they did a short feature on history-buff tourism in the United States. A nice break from endless musings on the meaning of housing markets, loan rates, control of inflation, etc. The sort of stuff [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What curious things we do with history, no? On the one hand, the United States (by no means an exception, here) is so much a culture of forgetting. We&#8217;d rather imagine the pain of the past to be from another world entirely (it&#8217;s not) than engage in a difficult conversation. On the other hand, there [...]]]></description>

In remembering so much sadness in one site, everything is at stake. This is only more urgent when we consider that this is our memorial, a national site of memory. And so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all places, The Weekly Standard has a really interesting article on memorializing the plane crash in Pennsylvania on 11 September 2001. The &#8220;Flight 93&#8243; site. I find the article compelling because it brings out just how impossible such memorials are in terms of mass consumption. To be honest, I&#8217;m always puzzled about what might [...]]]></description>
