		<description><![CDATA[ After four and a half years of inconstant operation, I&#8217;m wondering what to do with this blog.  At its height, the blog had a friendly and intelligent community of regular readers, a fair bit of google juice, a perfect number of daily hits, and a wonderful network of impassioned fellow bloggers.
Now?  Not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m saddened to learn that Jim Capozzola, of the Rittenhouse Review, died last evening.
Susie Madrak of Suburban Guerrilla, who calls Jim her &#8220;fairy blogfather,&#8221; knew Jim better than I did, and has posted a wonderful remembrance of him which includes links to many posts commemorating Jim&#8217;s life.  And my pal Richard Cranium, of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Steve Gilliard of The News Blog has passed away.
I never met Steve, but I did have some run-ins with him over the years, most notably over the Downing Street Memo.  I was pushing for blogstorms; Steve thought the whole thing was a waste of time.
In response to the people who disagreed with him [...]]]></description>

The ride to the PACCA was traumatic:  I noticed the mother shaking and panting heavily in her cage; her tongue lolled out of her mouth.  I kept telling her that I was sorry.  The kittens were trying to climb out of their [...]]]></description>

I felt that I couldn&#8217;t let them stay there, but I feared that they would be euthanized if [...]]]></description>

In the meantime, I&#8217;m requesting your help with a moral drama that has been playing out in my backyard.
Some time ago, I noticed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
 In today&#8217;s mayoral race, I will be voting for Michael Nutter, and I encourage you to do the same.
Like many others, I&#8217;m troubled by Nutter&#8217;s &#8220;Stop and Frisk&#8221; proposal.  But I&#8217;m voting for him for a few important reasons:
1.  As my councilman in the 4th District, he was responsive to constituent concerns.

		<description><![CDATA[ That&#8217;s the best word I can think of to describe the Austin-based band Explosions in the Sky, whom you may remember from the Friday Night Lights soundtrack.
Dictionary.com defines &#8220;inchoate&#8221; as &#8220;not yet completed or fully developed&#8221; and &#8220;just begun; incipient,&#8221; words that aptly characterize the way in which most songs from this band seem [...]]]></description>

The editors asked me to write about &#8220;something that you&#8217;re into these days.&#8221;  Here&#8217;s what I chose:
