		<title>The Clueless Leading The Clueless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Obama et al. keep living down to what we all here have been saying consistently since 2007. We all might want to cop to being impolite, but we should also all relish declaring a resounding &#8220;We told you so!&#8221; Immature, but it feels good. Still, what to make of so-called Progressives and Liberals &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts On Boston&#8217;s Crisis, The New Tribalism And Participatory Meaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Events in Boston last week illustrate how technology shapes our personal identity. And how little we understand the process. Boston shows us a foretaste of the new tribalism that relies on ephemeral situations and adrenalin to create a sense of belonging. It will change what it means to be an American. What Is The New [...]]]></description>

		<title>State of Play Spring 2013</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enough time has passed since the election for us to ask &#8220;What precisely has been learned?&#8221; Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, &#8220;Not much&#8221;. Our politics remain inert and non-enrolling because there aren&#8217;t any, aside from the febrile paroxysms within the Movement. We remain isolated and suspended, our very expression of self denied by the suffocating paralysis of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping Up With &#8216;The Americans&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pop culture fascination with the covert continues to crest. Under Bush besides the torture porn of &#8217;24&#8242;, NCIS began its long run exalting &#8216;warfighters&#8217; and hierarchical obediance. We endured the Bournes&#8217; editing and celebrated a more brutal Bond. And it continues. &#8220;Homeland&#8221; has become a &#8216;Starbuckian&#8217; touchstone. &#8220;Argo&#8221; and &#8220;Zero Dark Thirty&#8221; pull crowds. Even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Liberals And Non-Rightists Lose The Deficit Hawk War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Striking how today&#8217;s Washington deficit and debt debates echo Continental arguments and policies in the 1920s and 1930s. As before, Malthusian linear extrapolation of today&#8217;s circumstances leads to a cataclysmic future. Ideology and epistemology fuel and derive sustenance from that apocalypse. While E.J. Dionne is not often cited here in the bunker, he did sum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama&#8217;s Inauguration 2013:  Sometimes A Little Is Enough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Watching Obama move through ritual and choreographed set pieces yesterday, one couldn&#8217;t help but imagine it had things gone otherwise in November. That mercy alone validates another 4 years of tactical placeholding. That&#8217;s not to say Obama&#8217;s post-November actions reek of the same political ineptitude and disengagement that marked his tepid first term. He&#8217;s beginning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year, Dear Readers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It could&#8217;ve been worse. Right? 2012 deserves a muted toast in fond farewell. Collectively we held our breath waiting as 2012 began. Tout le monde was atwitter about the big issues of the day: would Ridley Scott&#8217;s &#8216;Prometheus&#8217; blow? &#8216;John Carter&#8217; destroy Disney? Who would win in a fight, Marvel&#8217;s &#8216;The Hulk&#8217; or &#8216;Batman&#8217;? Was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Knock Knock Knockin On Boomers&#8217; Doors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night&#8217;s feeble, geriatric, reverse mortgage &#8216;Concert for 12-12-12&#8242; should galvanize all to overthrow the Boomers&#8217; tyrannical claim to pop culture relevance. $25,000 Per Ticket For A Concert Says It All Consider the bloated, self-satisfied pricing of tickets themselves: an actual event in Madison Square Garden selling tickets for $25,000 at the box office, no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Riding The General Staff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tawdry inconsequentiality sums up the Petraeus matter. Petraeus and Allen, two Imperial Viceroys from CENCTOM, strode across the globe with more direct and indirect power regionally than any U.S. diplomat or civilian, outstripping in many ways their Roman forebears. Yet the Pro Consuls are socially seduced by shameless con artists. How does this happen? Jill [...]]]></description>

		<title>Status Quo &#8211; The Line Holds, For Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Such relief to see the map turn blue. We&#8217;ve four more years with Obama as placeholder. Certainly more acceptable than the alternative. How delightful to see our old good acquaintance Liz Warren triumph. She now sits in the body that refused to give her an up or down vote. Last night the Movement&#8217;s despair and [...]]]></description>
