		<title>DNC Drama, Caught on Tape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is watching, talking and reading about the DNC. It is, obviously, quite historical.

Here is a brief recap, for those who aren&#8217;t in the know&#8230;
On Tuesday, a demonstration [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holden Caulfield in 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books of all time. I would even go so far to say that it was the most influential book in my adolescence. Therefore, I was literally infuriated by this article (which I found via Gawker). While reading &#8220;Why We Shouldn&#8217;t Still Be Learning Catcher in [...]]]></description>

		<title>But What if&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, many internet-perusers are reading about Obama&#8217;s declaration of a Vice Presidential running-mate. In fact, Wikipedia has already updated their Joe Biden page to include the mention that, he is, indeed, &#8220;the presumptive Democratic Party vice presidential nominee in the 2008 presidential election as running mate of presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama.&#8221;* Meanwhile, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Freedom from Depression*</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago, I lived the most routine, dull version of my life that I can imagine: calorie-counting, coffee-drinking, binge-eating. Alone. Alone. Alone. Searching for a sense of control (If only Ian Curtis had waited&#8230;perhaps it would have passed. Perhaps they would have found the right medication? Perhaps he wouldn&#8217;t have decided to take his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished &#8220;Everyone Will Remember Me as Some Sort of Monster,&#8221; the Rolling Stone article on the December 2007 Nebraska mall shooting. Thinking back, I can hardly remember hearing about it in the news. And this is, in part, the point of the article.
It was a big story. For about a week. Immediately after [...]]]></description>
