		<title>Democrats 2012: where&#8217;s the agenda?</title>
		<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>

		<title>Tree-hugging socialist lunacy</title>
		<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>

		<title>State of the Union 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I don&#8217;t have much at present. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re coping. I didn&#8217;t watch the State of the Union address, as per usual (or the rebuttals or, gods help us, the probably a permanent fixture from now on &#8220;prebuttals&#8221;), and having looked at various summaries and commentaries I struggle to find anything to even fix [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small victories: Keystone and SOPA</title>
		<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>

		<title>Timid (and/or lazy) but perceptive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My BFF MS shares a familiar theory, today, over at The Economist: KEVIN DRUM worries that the high cost of college tuition is driven by the very large value of lifetime earnings gains derived from a college degree. [...] As long as we keep giving people whatever student loans they need to attend college, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Envy, oil, silicone: catalogue of errors 1/15/12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ENVY Let me start things off by taking my own whack at the now well-thrashed piñata of Mitt Romney&#8217;s latest pronouncement, that complaints of widening inequality are simply &#8220;envy.&#8221; I think that to some extent, in the current political climate, this attempt by Romney to claim the crown for &#8220;most out-of-touch presidential candidate since George [...]]]></description>

		<title>Modest Proposal 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend has been reading about the astronomer William Herschel, recently, and was prompted to muse briefly on the increased scarcity, and subsequent prohibitive cost, of domestic servants in most of the industrialized world: I surmise from the details of his life related in the book that after some point he was able to spend [...]]]></description>

		<title>SB Deleted Scenes: Voter ID</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another in a series of posts which I basically wrote and finished except for putting them in WordPress or actually, y’know, posting them, and then forgot about as weeks became months. 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>

		<title>Market-failure pile-up</title>
		<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>

		<title>Parallel-reality check</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One addendum to the previous post; if this subject has any interest for you I suggest you go read These Republican primaries are a sideshow – and so is the presidential election by Tom Mendelsohn. Technically this is a blog post, although whether anyone on the inside has noticed or not I think any effective [...]]]></description>
