		<description><![CDATA[If crime fiction is the most deconstructed genre, then because it was also the most constructed.  And in its way, it was always the most self-aware.  We read any book in any genre to &#8220;find out what happens&#8221; after all.  Crime fiction just went ahead and codified that.  Any story in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Deathbed conversions have always seemed to me like a Hail Mary Pass, proving nothing about religion and much about desperation.

That&#8217;s a great line from a pretty great Roger Ebert blogpost about Christopher Hitchens.  Hitchens is dying, you see - of cancer, so it&#8217;s painful and takes a long time.  He may survive, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I think we should nominate the False Dilemma for a special Facebook award - you know, for being the argumentative fallacy most frequently featured on Facebook.  Not a week goes by that I don&#8217;t see it on proud display in some friend&#8217;s status update.

But there it is - a lot of the best crime fiction writers are currently from Sweden.  It&#8217;s so noticeable recently that the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (&#8221;Men Who Hate Women&#8221; in the original) is basically the perfect movie at this point in time.  It&#8217;s socially conscious without being PC, it&#8217;s atmospheric but not artsy, it&#8217;s an intelligent thriller that&#8217;s neither ironic, nor overly reliant on plot twists.  It&#8217;s a genre film that&#8217;s about [...]]]></description>

&#8220;We regret that this law has a racist and xenophobic spirit that goes against immigration in general and illegal immigrants in particular,&#8221; said a statement by parliament leaders of Mexico, Ecuador, Uruguay, Panama, Bolivia, Guatemala, Cuba and Chile.

Awesome.  Parliament Leaders [...]]]></description>

Can&#8217;t have misuse of the English language, after all!  But here&#8217;s the howler: in the same article, MSNBC leaves out the possessive apostrophe three times in the same paragraph.

Which sport you follow is a matter of taste - and while I do think there are generally articulable reasons for why we like the things we do (&#8221;it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Discussing EconTalk with Noah today inevitably turned toward some of Russ Roberts&#8217; tics.  On the menu: whether Economics is a science.  It&#8217;s a question Roberts likes to return to again and again, and it&#8217;s a frustrating one for me because I think it&#8217;s ultimately a red herring.  Meaning: whether or not Economics [...]]]></description>
