		<description><![CDATA[Graphics handling programs aren&#8217;t typically much fun to use, as in slick, cool, stylish&#8230; Picasa has pioneered in that arena since version 1. 
They&#8217;ve really outdone themselves with the latest version (3). Go grab this right now! Make sure you let Picasa handle the JPG files on your computer, giving it permission to be the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ideas Have Consequences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Naomi Klein speaks at the University of Chicago, the birthplace of the ideas that are now crashing down all around Wall Street, Main Street, and Washington, D.C. (transcript from DemocracyNow.org):
When Milton Friedman turned ninety, the Bush White House held a birthday party for him to honor him, to honor his legacy, in 2002, and everyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bailout Bill = Manufactured Crisis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, Amy Goodman interviewed one of the Congressional Representatives voting on the $700 Billion corporate welfare bailout, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). Amid the wails and cries of crisis, hear a voice of reason. Here are selections from the rush transcript:

		<title>Prepare For The Shock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ever-prescient Naomi Klein prognosticates again:
I wrote The Shock Doctrine in the hopes that it would make us all better prepared for the next big shock. Well, that shock has certainly arrived, along with gloves-off attempts to use it to push through radical pro-corporate policies (which of course will further enrich the very players who [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Taxation Unless For Bailouts?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE (9-21-2008):
NEW YORK TIMES financial columnists Floyd Norris and Gretchen Morgenson discussed what bailouts entail.  Morgenson said:

“The ugly thing about this is privatizing gains and socializing losses. So when things are going well, the managements make out, the shareholders make out, the counterparties are fine. All the private sector people do well. But when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greenspan Gloom and Doom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This can&#8217;t be good. If Alan Greenspan can&#8217;t find anything good to say about the economy, it must be pretty bad. Not a pleasant thought, but deep recession and/or depression may be just around the corner.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan offered a woeful outlook of America&#8217;s economic situation on Sunday, saying the crisis with [...]]]></description>

		<title>No More Fourth Estate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate to be pessimistic, but I am inclined to agree with the outcome predicted in this fine essay by Adam McKay:
&#8220;Stop saying that!&#8221; my wife says to me. But this is not a high school football game and I&#8217;m not a cheerleader with a bad attitude. This is an election and as things stand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Created Equal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Philip E. Johnson makes a good point about the connection between creationism and equality.  In his article &#8220;The Creationist and the Sociobiologist,&#8221; Johnson observes that the contemporary secular university is immersed in the flux state of post-Modernism. In such environments, the &#8220;nature and even the very existence of objective knowledge is in question.&#8221;
He then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to tomdispatch.com for this:
On November 14, 2002, the New York Times published a column by William Safire entitled &#8220;You Are a Suspect&#8221; in which he revealed that DARPA had been given a $200 million budget to compile dossiers on 300 million Americans.

		<title>Disappointing Summer Movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a disappointing summer for blockbusters, for me.
I had so many sure-fire hits lined up on my Gotta-See list: Wanted, Hancock, Hellboy II. How can you go wrong when you&#8217;ve got A-list stars like Angelina, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Ron Perlman? Directors like Guillermo Del Toro, who did a masterful job on Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth [...]]]></description>

As I walked back to my dorm, passing the library, a coyote was twenty yards in front of me on the sidewalk.

If things don&#8217;t work out, you can always go to law school

He says the problem with teachers is, &#8220;What&#8217;s a kid going to learn
from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?&#8221;
