		<description><![CDATA[In spite of my best intentions, I can&#8217;t help thinking about the 2012 presidential election and the incumbent Barack Obama fairly often. In combination, the two seem to make up about 75% of news coverage, after all. And mostly, what I think about these two subjects all points to the single question &#8220;should I vote [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The alleged entertainment value of this endless Republican primary campaign is, to a very great extent, lost on me. I consider the whole spectacle an unhelpful, absolutely ludicrous farce, which of course consumes real attention and other resources which could be better spent on just about anything you care to name. I stand by my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve already posted about one of these, earlier, and neither is really yet at the point of being anything like what you could call a real &#8220;mission accomplished,&#8221; and etc., etc., so-on so-forth. But I think the combination of these two positive policy developments, on the same day, is enough to really demand a brief [...]]]></description>

In this instance, I look at efforts to protect the universal franchise from GOP-backed voter ID requirements, and conclude that this is probably a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had this loose sense for some years, now, that America (perhaps more than nearly any other society) is becoming a victim of its own success. In more ways than one in fact, probably, but in this case I refer to the long decades of enjoying the fruits of market capitalism. I&#8217;ve arrived at this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, let&#8217;s establish one basic, rock-solid point as the 2012 presidential campaign can now begin in (calendar-based) earnest. Further empowering Republicans will not help. Period. Any commentary on contemporary American politics which ignores, fudges or contradicts this reliably-proven fact is simply engaged in imaginary make-believe, and should be disregarded completely. This is not hyperbolic bias [...]]]></description>

I actually missed it, last week, thanks to various distractions and a relatively cryptic headline, and was still planning to go look for a petition to sign this week until I checked out the party web site and saw this. I suppose I&#8217;ll start with the good news, because there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. I feel so grateful to Iowa State University for maintaining a pretty clean, respectable athletic program. The biggest &#8220;scandal&#8221; I can recall was when the men&#8217;s basketball coach was found to be a drunk (and a rather sad drunk at that), and promptly fired. I don&#8217;t recall any kind of violent backlash afterward, either. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, normally I think that spending election night in eager anticipation of &#8220;the results&#8221; is just stupid. I mean, the results are what they are; can&#8217;t it wait a day? Or even a week? I think this impatience for instant results is not especially compatible with fair, secure and accurate elections and vote counting, either. [...]]]></description>

It does continue to provide a source of interest, certainly. For one thing, my congressional representative, the irascable Dennis Kucinich, is behaving more and more erratically. And this is the Dennis who has always marched to the [...]]]></description>
