		<title>The Biggest Con in History EVAH!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Matt Taibbi breaks it down (once again).  Make the time to read this and you&#8217;ll get a much better grasp on the insane shit that&#8217;s gone down over the past year of &#8220;recovery&#8221;. This &#8220;bailout&#8221; has been like having the guy who mugged you sending you his dry cleaning bills for getting your blood [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nothing Sucks Like a Hoover!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[J. Edgar Hoover, that is!  Via BoingBoing, I came across The Kisseloff Collection, which is author Jeff Kisseloff&#8217;s collection of photos and stories stretching back through the 1920&#8217;s.  Some of the photos are gorgeous, some are disturbing, and some are just weird:

Jeff writes about working with Alger Hiss in the early 1970&#8217;s, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>iTunes Crops Description, Chuckle Ensues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That&#8217;s how iTunes showed the description for this week&#8217;s episode of This American Life.  Stupidly funny.
For the record, the full description reads, &#8220;The story of how the American Psychiatric Association decided in 1973 that homosexuality was no longer a mental illness.&#8221;

		<title>Free the Willies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In light of the most recent Killer Whale attack at Sea World I think that cetaceans should not be held in captivity and forced to perform.  The animals are clearly intelligent.  They should be given the option to perform&#8230; maybe an &#8220;open&#8221; aquarium where they can voluntarily open a door, swim into and [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Incredible Voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
How did I miss David McAlmont for so long?  He&#8217;s got an incredible three-octave range, and he&#8217;s been singing as an OUT gay man since the early 90&#8217;s.  WTF!?
He&#8217;s shown above in a still frame singing a James Bond cover song, &#8220;Diamonds Are Forever.&#8221;  The video is below.

PG&#38;E Building in San Francisco



Today, I noticed an ad for California Prop 16, with the catchline &#8220;Preserve Your Right To Vote.&#8221;  Thinking that this sounded like a lot of spin, I decided to look it up.
According to Ballotpedia, this is basically an initiative funded by PG&#38;E to make it more difficult for municipalities to [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Case You Were Wondering&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8230;the masters of the American economy (and, thus, the people whose largely unaccountable decisions determine the material fortunes of most people in our country) don&#8217;t give a flying fuck about you, me, or anyone else we know:
&#8220;American business is about maximizing shareholder value,&#8221; said Allen Sinai, chief global economist at the research firm Decision Economics. [...]]]></description>
