		<description><![CDATA[So, Whither the Occupy (Wall Street, etc.) protests? I can&#8217;t do a whole lot here other than echo what others have said. On the one hand, I have to agree with Uncle Paul in that this seems like a favor, or at least an opportunity, for the Occupy protests in some ways. They had kind [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m mostly back following the news again, but serious trepidation remains. Last night I visited Uncle Paul&#8217;s blog for probably the first time in more than two weeks, and it was just like, &#8220;how did I ever look at this on a daily basis?&#8221; I like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have we pretty much reached that point, here, finally? I have to say it feels like that to me. I&#8217;m ready to get out, if I could/can figure out the inconvenient little details like how to support myself. Of course, I have just a bit of a nomadic instinct&#8230; But honestly, I&#8217;m not sure that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the national holiday has crept up, once again, I&#8217;ve found myself wondering about America and its place in the world and considering all of this from a slightly new angle. In brief: is it time for us to be Belgium? By which I mean—no offense to Belgians—is it time for America to get over [...]]]></description>
