		<title>They&#8217;re off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John McCain&#8217;s pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his VP certainly meets the basic criteria outlined by yours-truly as far back as February; i.e., she&#8217;s a solid conservative. For that reason alone, I think, he chose well.  The rest is gravy. It&#8217;s mind-boggling that the Obama people are criticizing her for lack of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama accepts the nomination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The election of an African-American to be the nominee of one of the two major parties is a definite milestone, and one which is deeply resonant with many people. I&#8217;m glad to see this milestone achieved. America is truly a great country.
&#8230;
Now, it would sure be nice if the individual achieving the milestone were not [...]]]></description>

		<title>More conventional wisdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a note: Democratic strategist and Clintonista James Carville is out there criticizing the first night of the Democrat Convention:
&#8220;You haven&#8217;t heard about Iraq or John McCain or George W. Bush &#8212; I haven&#8217;t heard any of this. We are a country that is in a borderline recession, we are an 80 percent wrong-track country. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some conventional wisdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yours-truly returned from travels just in time to turn on the TV and catch some of yesterday&#8217;s goings-on at the Democrat convention. I may disagree with him on just about everything, but God bless ol&#8217; Teddy Kennedy &#8212; one must assume it was an heroic and Herculean effort for him to get out there and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Odds &#038; Ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Same ol&#8217; same ol&#8217;: In Britain, a real estate investment firm named Brixton issued a report which quotes a verse from Bob Dylan&#8217;s All Along the Watchtower to illustrate how tough the commercial property market is at the moment. 
&#8220;The apocalyptic opening lines of Bob Dylan&#8217;s &#8216;All Along the Watchtower&#8217; seem to capture the beleaguered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good news!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the close of the show last Tuesday night in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, here&#8217;s a clip of Bob Dylan and his band doing Blowin&#8217; in the Wind.
I really love the arrangement of this song which Dylan has adopted of late. For a song that is often performed by others with a mournful air, or heard [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCain and Obama at Saddleback with Rick Warren</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Home run for John McCain. Simple as that. A grand slam, in fact. Still, there&#8217;s a lot of baseball to be played. 
Barack Obama, going first in taking questions from Warren, chose to be expansive in his responses and to avoid the nub of certain issues. John McCain gave shorter and more direct answers, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The real acid test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I saw this headline, I wondered what it could possibly mean: &#8220;Drugs like LSD and Ecstasy &#8216;could help terminally ill&#8217;.&#8221; Turns out (drat!) that it doesn&#8217;t mean that those hits of acid you may have swallowed when you were young and irresponsible will help you live longer.
The first clinical trial involving LSD since the [...]]]></description>
