		<title>Swimming In Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear friend Tim   sometimes chides me for what he perceives as the lack of quality and the abundance of bias in the data I present. Perhaps a visit to Gapminder 
 might help me. And, who knows, perhaps all of us.
h/t  to   Jaguarnoelle 
who posted a video of Hans Rosling&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Hope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ JOHNSTOWN, Pa. â€” Senator Barack Obama had a few words of advice Saturday for his rival, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: Do not drop out on my account.
â€œMy attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants,â€ Mr. Obama, of Illinois, said at a news conference in a high school gymnasium here. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slavery Was Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Distinguished  historian   Michael  Medved  shows us  that  slavery wasn&#8217;t all that bad.&#8221;
But it&#8217;s amazing how some people missed the best thing about that article: the blatantly offensive T-shirt  ad in the left column: &#8220;Imagine&#8230; No Liberals.&#8221;
I imagined that a long time ago. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m a radical.
Sorry, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charter &#8220;Services&#8221;  Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here I go surfing along happily, reading a blog that  recommends an article on RHReality.org. I try to go there &#8212; hey. I&#8217;m easy to get along with.
Now, instead of giving me a simple 404 or &#8220;nslookup failed&#8221; and letting me get on  with my life,  Charter gives me this:
Sorry, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Against All Odds?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started my book on the nineteenth-century scientist Maria Mitchell, I expected to find that she had triumphed against impossible odds.  â€œBias and Barriersâ€ against womenâ€™s achievement in the science are pretty intense in the twenty-first century, and I presumed that the obstacles must have been much harsher nearly two hundred years ago.

		<title>Smokin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does the dog&#8217;s tail smell like when it&#8217;s on fire?
OK, no danger of that. But  he showed a definite interest in dinner when it  was cooking on the patio.  Robert got a little apartment-balcony-sized grill  and  cooked a couple of steaks (mesquite smoked &#8212; yum),  baked beans and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Feast of Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally  the blogosphere contains more than the incoherent rants you&#8217;ll find on Ex Cathedra. Sometimes you&#8217;ll find people who can actually write.
You&#8217;ll find quite a lot of them, actually.  I&#8217;ve mentioned some of  them here, but there&#8217;s three writers who recently knocked my socks off with their writing. 
First is my dear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pax Vobiscum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The peace that &#8220;passeth all  understanding&#8221; probably does.  Start smaller and you might actually get somewhere.  Start   with good old nonviolence. You&#8217;d be surprised how many people  just don&#8217;t   get nonviolence.  But most of us can figure it out after a while.  &#8211; Rev. Bob [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intersectionality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ intersectionality holds that knowing a woman lives in a sexist society is insufficient information to describe her experience; instead, it is also necessary to know her race, her sexual orientation, her class, etc. The theory of intersectionality also suggests that discrete forms, and expressions, of oppression actually shape, and are shaped by, one another.
