		<title>Re: Mosque at Ground Zero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This beautifully written piece has assuaged any fears I might have had about the intentions of the people behind the &#8220;Ground Zero Mosque&#8221;: Well, for a start, it won’t be at Ground Zero. It’ll be on Park Place, two blocks north of the World Trade Center site (from which it will not be visible), in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mosque at Ground Zero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I struggled with this one a bit. At first, it seemed like a no-brainer: religious tolerance all the way. But as I read more about it, I realized that the odious right wing might have one point in this case. There is a distinct possibility that this mosque is meant as a symbol of &#8220;victory,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things Invented After I Was Born</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or, things I will yell at my children to make them see how easy they have it. The Internet (Ok, fine. The World Wide Web) &#8220;In my day, Google was called the library, and ran on the blood, sweat, and tears of librarians! Craigslist was published in the newspaper! YouTube was hosted by Bob Saget!&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Random Thought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I have been terrible at blogging lately, and I won&#8217;t stop now, but here is a pittance for the month of June. The only thing worse than people who don&#8217;t reply all when they should, is people who do reply all when they shouldn&#8217;t. Not replying all on a mail when what you&#8217;re saying [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Which I Learn Something From My Experiences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The key to strong, solid ice cubes that pop out of the tray whole and don&#8217;t crack into pieces is to not stack the trays. The bottom one is always crap. Totally worth the extra freezer space.]]></description>

		<title>Tea Party Rap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article about a white (naturally) Tea Party &#8220;rapper&#8221; from NJ is priceless. Some highlights: The Brick resident, a born-again Christian who is currently unemployed, mixes conservative manifestos with hip-hop beats. &#8220;I&#8217;m just doing this because I don&#8217;t know what else to do with myself.&#8221; He took the stage to perform the anthem, &#8220;Patriotic People,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mike Huckabee Can&#8217;t Imagine Being Tolerant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the course of doing his job being an ignorant religious bigot, Mike Huckabee said the following: “You don’t go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal,” he said of same-sex marriage. “That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so let’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neil deGrasse Tyson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have such a huge crush on Neil deGrasse Tyson. He&#8217;s so passionate when speaking about science it practically makes me cry. Between 2:00 and 3:00 is my favorite.]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Nice Out</title>
