		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a &#8220;homeless&#8221; man who stands on a corner near where I work with a sign asking for free money.  Even if I hadn&#8217;t seen him get out of a car to put in a hard 3-hour day of begging recently, I would have my suspicions: he&#8217;s been doing this since at least summer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lev Grossman&#8217;s The Magicians is a tough nut to crack precisely because it&#8217;s so transparent.  It&#8217;s one of those books that I feel like I should hate, and so am surprised to find I really loved!  What gives?
Its probably the best exemplar of what I&#8217;d like to call the &#8220;new high-brow.&#8221;  I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s interesting to look at the history of ideas as an evolutionary process, by which parent ideas adapt defenses to survive their circumstances which they then pass on to their descendendants.  Presumably, we&#8217;re all aiming at The Truth, whatever that is, and we try out solutions until one seems to fit.  And once [...]]]></description>

NFL and baseball put me to sleep, and I think that pretty much exhausts the list of sports I even really know about.  For the most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting (though in retrospect probably obvious) thought gelled out of a discussion with Alexis about animal rights:  there are both raising and lowering solutions to inequality problems, and a lot of times people get pigeonholed into saying things they don&#8217;t really mean by failing to consider the raising solution if they&#8217;ve already thought of [...]]]></description>

Thinks that Evan Bayh needs to stand up more and not sit it out, if he is dissatisfied with Capital Hill. We need strong leaders. I think he&#8217;s worried that the conflict of interest will shine through.

Referring, of course, to the fact that Evan Bayh is taking his toys and [...]]]></description>

A least, not according to NC State Economics students&#8217; homework research.  As their professor neatly sums it up, the winners are &#8220;Disney and [...]]]></description>

The argument goes that the Great Depression was ending by 1937 until FDR pulled the rug out of the recovery by trying to reign in [...]]]></description>
