		<title>Scott Brown wins Mass. Senate Seat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is huge.  I don&#8217;t quite know what the fallout from this will be, but it&#8217;s a rare event for Mass. voters to elect a Rublican and the race wasn&#8217;t really even that close.  Consider too that the seat in question was Ted Kennedy&#8217;s.  Perhaps the bloom is off the rose.

		<description><![CDATA[So, now I can update this from my smartphone.  The jury is still out on whether this will have a positive affect on either post quality or quantity, but one can dream.

		<title>Supreme Court to hear Doe No. 1, et al., v. Reed, et al.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in the case of Doe No. 1, et al., v. Reed, et al. In what is something of a rare position for me, I come into this hoping that the Court will affirm the Ninth Circuit&#8217;s decision.  While I am often not a particular fan of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breaking News:  Nobel Committee is now a Political Action Committee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, the Nobel Committee proved to the world that it has no legitimate interest in awarding the Peace Prize based on concrete accomplishments and has instead chosen to use the prize as a tool for political manipulation.  Let me be clear:  Alfred Nobel&#8217;s vision was that the Peace Prize would be awarded for concrete [...]]]></description>

		<title>NPR Article Reveals that NPR Doesn&#8217;t Understand Statistics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The article in question.
One could just as easily take the exact same poll and just a truthfully say: &#8220;90% of doctors oppose government control of healthcare.&#8221;
The article is playing fast and loose with wording. 63% of doctors favor the inclusion of a public option while keeping private insurance available. 10% favor the exclusive use of [...]]]></description>

		<title>More things I just plain do not understand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Told you I&#8217;d continue it someday.
This is not so much a &#8220;thing&#8221; in the sense of a named event or entity, but it&#8217;s still a situation that baffles me:
For the past several years, I have been receiving E-mails intended for someone else due to a similarity in our addresses.  Mildly annoying because the majority of [...]]]></description>

		<title>You are not John Galt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You aren&#8217;t Hank Rearden either.
If you&#8217;re female, it&#8217;s pretty much a dead cert that you aren&#8217;t Dagny Taggert.
Really.  I mean it.  At best you might be Eddie Willers or Cherryl Brooks, but you&#8217;re not motive power.  If you were, you wouldn&#8217;t be striking up  superficial conversation with someone in an airport strictly on the basis [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australian Town Enacts Pointless Feel-Good Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The rural Australian town of Bundanoon, an otherwise unremarkable bedroom community for Sydney, made a desperate grab for news headlines today by supposedly banning the sale of bottled water within the town&#8217;s boundaries.
While ostensibly enacted to combat what the town feels to be a waste of resources (in bottling and shipping water that is more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Fourth of July!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing like a little John Phillips Sousa on Independence Day&#8230;
Editor&#8217;s Note:  I was away from the blog and did not see this in my publishing queue until today; the delay is entirely my own fault and not that of Mr. Nebulosa.
