		<title>Blog reading requires too much attention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, we have now manged to reach the point where blogs &#8211; yes blogs &#8211; are considered too time consuming and unhip for young adults.
A study has found that young people are losing interest in long-form blogging, as their communication habits have become increasingly brief and mobile. Tech analysts say it doesn&#8217;t mean that blogging [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to commit political career suicide: Charlie Crist edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daniel Foster reports on the Corner about the latest poll showing Republican US Senate Candidate Marco Rubio leading Governor Crist by more than a 2:1 margin, 60-28.  What&#8217;s worse for Crist is that dropping out of the Senate race to run for governor is not much of a viable option:
GOP voters say they&#8217;d prefer likely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roundup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things are crazy busy, so as you can see I haven&#8217;t had much time to blog.  Here is a roundup of some of the more interesting developments of the past week.
- Well at least Notre Dame seems to have finally learned a lesson about turning its back on Church teaching.  Oh.  Wait.  What&#8217;s the opposite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ron Paul claims the Fed involved in Watergate, funding Saddam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, this guy is not nuts at all.
H/t: Hot Air, which also links to another takedown of Mr. Paul here.  I also love this quote from one of Ron Paul&#8217;s GOP primary challengers.
“Ron Paul is literally the most ineffective member of Congress,” said Graney, who owns a consulting business in Katy. “He talks about ending [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woman is live-tweeting her abortion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well this manages to pretty neatly encapsulate everything that is wrong with our culture.
“I’m doing this to de-mystify abortion,” she says. “I’m doing this so other women know, ‘Hey, it’s not nearly as terrifying as I had myself worked up thinking it was.’ It’s just not that bad.”
These are the words of Angie Jackson, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Economics Book Bleg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking up to bone up on my understanding of economics, and am looking for good primers.  I have had some experience with macroeconomics, but I&#8217;d consider myself to be relatively green on the subject.  I&#8217;m looking for stuff on political economy (I&#8217;ve read Adam Smith) and economics in general, and I&#8217;m interested in material [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all wrestling fans are this stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, really, we&#8217;re not.  But this kind of stuff does make the majority of us groan.
- The Midwest Ambulance service has been receiving so many phone calls regarding the status of Bret Hart
(they were the ambulance company used on Raw last week), that they posted the following message on their website…

		<title>Beck, Paul, CPAC and the future of conservatism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is rare that I disagree with Jonah Goldberg, but when it comes to Glenn Beck&#8217;s CPAC keynote address, I side with Bill Bennett and Mark Levin (and if I am hearing him correctly today, Rush Limbaugh).  It is popular, and not altogether wrong, to bash the Republican Party.  There are reasons to do so, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The death of conservatism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the kid of crap that makes me weep for the future of conservatism, and thus the the future of our country.  Ron Paul is a nutjob.  Conservatives follow him at their peril.
