		<description><![CDATA[Science reporting isn&#8217;t an exact, um, science. In this article,&#8221;Japan Scientists Develop Fearless Mouse,&#8221; my jaw dropped when I read this: Scientists at Tokyo University say they were able to successfully switch off a mouse&#8217;s instinct to cower at the smell or presence of cats showing that fear is genetically hardwired and not learned through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently noticed that our TVs are now picking up HBO, apparently for free, though no action of our own doing. Maybe someone in the neighborhood was fiddling with one of the cable boxes up on the telephone pole and decided that we just weren&#8217;t watching enough boob tube. I realize that as an ethical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s what I just emailed to Delta Airlines over the recent insanity: I&#8217;ve had my share of less than pleasant experiences with Delta flight attendants, but I&#8217;m not prone to blame them for their occasional surliness: they&#8217;re working in a difficult industry, for difficult management, and often with difficult customers. The story in the news [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really bumming me out that the process of overcoming a massive tragedy like Hurricane Katrina and all the associated challenges has so quickly deteriorated into the kind of heated partisan rhetoric that characterizes&#8230; well, just about everything these days. Democrats and Republicans alike, nearly everyone holding office right now just looks like a blustering [...]]]></description>

The bans on gay marriage in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah also prohibit any type of legal civil union arrangements for same-sex couples. The people of those eight states have now successfully wiped their collective ass with their states&#8217; constitutions. All over those [...]]]></description>

Mike Rundle illutrates that quite nicely with his post; thanks, Mike. Maybe Miller felt the need to contradict himself so thoroughly because of some personal feud with Kerry that&#8217;s come up in the last few [...]]]></description>
