		<description><![CDATA[I recently read the well-known post-modernist novel Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow (1973) by Thomas Pynchon, and I noticed a number of surprising similarities between it and the well-known Japanese anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995). In fact, there are so many similarities between the two, both thematically, stylistically, and plot-wise, that I am forced to conclude that [...]]]></description>

Last week, an anti-abortion terrorist assassinated a doctor. Why is the media so afraid to use the word &#8220;terrorist&#8221; to accurately describe right-wingers engaged in the act of terrorism? Is it that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, some Republicans thought it would be a brilliant idea to distribute a CD to members of the Republican National Convention containing a song titled &#8220;Barack the Magic Negro&#8221;. The general response was about as predictable as the sunset, and rightly consisted of outright condemnation over such disgusting and overt racism. But get this: the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to be able to feel safe while browsing the web, both in terms of what your software protects you against and what your own &#8220;web street smarts&#8221; protect you against. Users who don&#8217;t feel safe will restrict themselves to big sites by recognizable companies and other sites that they already visit regularly &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This makes twice in one year that my commute home from work has been slowed by rubbernecking delays thanks to tanks being in the pull-over lane just south of the American Legion Bridge crossing the Potomac River along the Capital Beltway in Virginia. The tanks are always on semi-trailers traveling in convoys. It&#8217;s been too [...]]]></description>

I bring it up because it serves as a useful analogy to discuss the film The Dark Knight, which I finally saw [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, my cousin from New York City was in town, so we took the opportunity to see Slumdog Millionaire at the artsy movie theater in Bethesda, Maryland. I knew precisely nothing about [...]]]></description>

So while I do go to grocery stores and other places where I purchase essentials, I very rarely go to shopping just for the fun of it. Yet I absolutely [...]]]></description>

The &#8220;Bradley Effect&#8221;, named after black California 1982 gubernatorial candidate Tom Bradley, posits that a significant number of whites are secret racists, who will tell pollsters they&#8217;re willing to vote for a non-white [...]]]></description>
