		<description><![CDATA[Seth Godin, the homeliest man since Henry Waxman, presents never-ending and hyper intelligent insights into what works and what doesn’t. Waxman has yet been spotted saying anything intelligent, which demonstrates that the traits of diminished physical beauty and smarts are not linked.
One recent Godin missive accurately dissected the difference between failure and mistakes, where failures [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are the 100%.
Politics, like any other marketing snowjob, is about segmentation – dividing the market into small, manageable groups that have common traits. Politicians, who are highly corrupt marketers, love segmenting their constituents and selling to different groups differently. When politicians cannot adeptly cajole diverse groups with contradictory messages, they commit monogamy with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Taliban had a blast blowing up non-Islamic icons.
Iconic footage (pun intended) of pre 9/11 Taliban tanks blasting ancient and historically significant Buddha statues demonstrate the demonic desires of those who deign to design societies (a.k.a. politicians and terrorists, if I may be redundant). Their goal was to obliterate knowledge of competing religious beliefs, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perspective poisons prejudice, which is why so many people avoid it.
Prejudices are comfortable blankets of selective ignorance. Though not necessarily evil (my prejudice against broccoli harms nobody) prejudice limits one to narrow insights and inflexibility. Gaining broad perspective is an elegant cure that has fallen into disuse.
Compare Naples and Naples, the Italian and Floridian varieties. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here in San Francisco, Barack Obama was elevated to deity status during the last presidential election. Since then he was demoted to a suspect saint, and if many more Modern Sodom residents are assigned to unemployment lines, Obama will become Satan’s stunt double.
Liberal’s faith is slowly being shattered.

Will was nearly on target about a major failing of our modern political melee, one where world views were once provided by three network news offices and whatever substituted for your local paper.  [...]]]></description>

That Moore occupies a rather large portion of my latest book, as well as floor space wherever he goes, derives from his indefatigable ability to be simultaneously bombastic, boorish and a blackguard.  Any honest assessment of Bowling for [...]]]></description>
