		<description><![CDATA[CNN, about the new &#8220;The Dark Knight&#8221; Batman movie:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/02/film.ledger.oscarbuzz.ap/index.html
Many of you know I have been a fan of Batman for some time.  I have attempted to understand the character, as well as the villains that have been featured, especially during the Jason Todd/Tim Drake-as-Robin years.  The first Batman movie came out (Tim Burton) and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>embrace your fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have Twittered about this, and I feel the need to explain: I think Obama is the candidate for November.
Why Obama:
He&#8217;s smart.  Exhausted utterance about fifty-eight states notwithstanding.  At least it isn&#8217;t the word &#8220;nucular.&#8221; Over and over.
He&#8217;s black.  This is not a reason, it&#8217;s an admission of (a) about freaking time, (b) a new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Props to this man for losing eighty pounds.  However&#8230;..
CNN - 80 lbs. lost on McMiracle diet
Nearly anything that actually gets that much extra bodyfat off you is good.  The man had a fifty-inch waist.  However, the quality of food he used to get where he is now is atrocious.  Never, ever, ever, should you skip [...]]]></description>

		<title>the fertile crescent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am ever-so-slowly making my way through the book &#8220;Are We Rome?&#8221; by Cullen Murphy.  It&#8217;s a good book so far; he makes a fair amount of  salient points - some I vehemently disagree with, but that&#8217;s what makes it a good book.  However, when he starts to briefly profile Edwin Gibbon, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am lucky to be able to have two cars to depend on; when I got the Jeep, we decided to keep the Saturn.  Even though it was ten years old, it was still running, was in perfect condition (only two minor fenders-bender; neither my fault!), had never needed any real underhood work (the power [...]]]></description>

		<title>push comes to shove</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright; I&#8217;ve added the Wordbook app to both the blog (http://www.dansanders.net) and to Facebook.  If all goes well, I post on the blog, it updates Facebook, and my laziness is preserved.

		<title>if there were only words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a transcript of a conversation I had tonight.  I will be translating half of it from the original &#8220;cat.&#8221;
&#8220;Hey.&#8221;
&#8220;Hey, kitty.&#8221;
&#8220;I want some of that.&#8221;
&#8220;No, you don&#8217;t.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, I do.&#8221;
&#8220;No, you don&#8217;t, trust me.&#8221;
&#8220;I do NOT trust you, I want some.&#8221;
&#8220;No you don&#8217;t! Here, here&#8217;s the knife, smell that.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, no, I don&#8217;t want that. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This&#8230; this.. just, this&#8230;.
Indian School names monkey god chairman
If you felt good about outsourcing to the subcontinent before, now you can feel totally confident.  It used to be a Bengal Tiger, but the board meetings got WAY out of hand.  Besides, the tiger&#8217;s Ph.D. was from a diploma-mill.
My next question; how soon before [...]]]></description>

		<title>one-upmanship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a link to an article that speaks to the possible effect of losing even one night&#8217;s sleep: link
In reading it, I looked back in my mind to moments where I had conversations about sleep, and I recall that there is an almost &#8220;hero-worship&#8221; for people who fail to get enough sleep.
&#8220;Oh, I couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>handbaskets and heresies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know why I do it.  And anymore, I don&#8217;t know why it makes me so angry.
For a peculiar reason, I was Googling the terms &#8220;Dungeons and Dragons&#8221; and &#8220;Cultural Phenomenon.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t really expect it, but I found a link to one of the original purveyors of anti-D&#038;D vitriol, Bill Schnoebelen.  [...]]]></description>
