I&#8217;m considering adding a widget to the side bar with my music (current host is ReverbNation, since Virb stopped being free), so it&#8217;ll already be over there if I add something.
If anyone ever wonders what my purpose is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Operation Zero Sum continues&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These should come as no shock at all:
-The banks that got the most bailout money spent the most on lobbying to influence that &#8220;reform&#8221; bill.
-CEOs that cut the most jobs during the ongoing collapse, regardless of the profitability of the company, got paid the best.
-&#8221;Y&#8217;know what would&#8217;ve cushioned the economic crash?  Bailing out Lehman Brothers.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you SURE that&#8217;s how it works?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dave Weigel thinks this is the proper response to the &#8220;revelations&#8221; about the Kochtopus*:
Toss a hunk of Rearden metal at a D.C. libertarian organization or  scholar and you&#8217;ll hit something connected to the Kochs. The brothers  fund successful internships and fellowships via the Koch Associate  Program, and every summer, dozens of budding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a good thing some people don&#8217;t listen, otherwise we never would&#8217;ve been blessed with the following example of Conceptual Fail:

&#8230;isn&#8217;t having a dictatorship without a military a bit like having a burger without meat?  Or is this guy trying to also say that Obama is so bonkers that he doesn&#8217;t realize any dictator worth [...]]]></description>

Tiger Woods finally looked like the No. 1 player in the world.In  his first tournament since his divorce, Woods played his best round of  the year Thursday at The Barclays by missing only one fairway, putting  for birdie on all but two holes and shooting a 6-under 65 for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things Happen, People Talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No particular unifying thread:
-There&#8217;s one societal norm that needs to shift (or, more accurately, be completely thrown out) that encompasses everything else on this issue: the deliberate ignorance of any line between your time spent as an employee &#38; your actual life.  Matt refers to Germany here, but there have been reports of U.S. companies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fixed that for you</title>

		<title>Small vs Mean</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Quiggin: &#8220;I will ignore evidence to the contrary &#38; say libertarianism = Objectivism.  Going Galt is a ripoff, so settle for living among Republicans in the suburbs&#8221;
Jim Henley: &#8220;I dunno about that.  But&#8230;too bad the popularity of limiting gov&#8217;t, let alone doing away with it, tracks with irrational fear of waves of Undeserving Darky.&#8221;
