		<title>Cyclical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m stealing this idea from my friend Eric. I turn 31 next Sunday. Saying this is not where I expected to be at this age is possibly the understatement of the century, but this is going to be an exercise in vanity that enables me to look back at where I&#8217;ve been and what I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Dating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been dating since the BF and I broke up. Really, this is the first time I’ve ever “dated” per sey, since nearly all my other dates ended with “boyfriend” becoming appended to the guy’s name. So this is new, and there’s an etiquette that I’m not quite abreast of. For instance: when one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I still don&#8217;t know what I want to do with this blog, or what purpose I want it to serve, but I just paid $9 to renew the domain name, so I figured I&#8217;d just write until a plan revealed itself. I started working at a temp agency in January. Like most jobs, there are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tweet, tweet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I resisted joining the so-called Twitterverse for a long time. It&#8217;s stupid, I said, who wants to follow anyone so closely? I don&#8217;t care that you&#8217;re staring existentially into your morning doughnut. I also felt this way about Wikipedia. As a journalism major in college, at the beginning of each semester we were given the [...]]]></description>

		<title>15 months later&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, it&#8217;s not the new hit zombie film in the 28 ____ Later franchise. I am ashamed to say that I have not updated this blog since I started grad school, even though it was ostensibly created in order to apply what I learned to the real world. One of the main reasons I haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Irresponsible CNN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a gigantic TV on in the office pretty much all the time, and while that can be handy sometimes, more often than not it&#8217;s distracting and annoying. Sometimes you see something that makes you wish you were paying closer attention to the tv, however, and that happened to me just a few minutes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seriously, folks, look it over before you hit send</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m an intern. This might make me thoroughly unqualified for giving any kind of resume advice, but I&#8217;ve never been one to ignore an opportunity to expound on subjects about which I know nothing. The organization for which I&#8217;m interning this summer, The Center for Independent Media, is a progressive media group. We have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun with framing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a story in the Washington Post today declaring that John McCain has promised more of the same with respect to judicial nominations. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. &#8220;would serve as the model for my own nominees, if that responsibility falls [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey, Pew, check out the library sometime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m really glad that wide attention is finally being paid to the conditions of animals in factory farms. The Washington Post has a story today revealing the findings of two new studies. Factory farming takes a big, hidden toll on human health and the environment, is undermining rural America&#8217;s economic stability [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s always a choice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t understand this moral outrage people feel about the rising cost of gas. The Declaration of Independence does not say we have the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and cheap gas. That&#8217;s not the way it works. That&#8217;s not the way capitalism works. I&#8217;ll admit that I might be biased. I [...]]]></description>
