		<description><![CDATA[Forbes.com has labeled Las Vegas &#8220;AMERICA&#8217;S EMPTIEST CITY,&#8221; placing it above Detroit in a lineup of urban areas hit hard by recession. The headline has been replicated everywhere now, finally making it to the print version of the Las Vegas Review Journal this morning. There&#8217;s something magnetic about Forbes&#8217; &#8220;list&#8221; stories. Who can resist clicking [...]]]></description>

As my mind floated back toward consciousness early this morning, these words from an old summer camp song drifted through my mind. As I awoke, my intellectual faculties began switching on and providing analysis.  My mental jukebox had searched its archive, I decided, and found a tune to match the feeling inspired by yesterday’s inauguration.  Yeah, that was it!  Our new president has taken the reins. “A new day is dawning.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“All your base are belong to us.” The old dawn-of-the Web refrain has been echoing in my head ever since I first heard John McCain talking about how Sarah Palin had excited “the base.” If John McCain had a base and Sarah Palin had excited it, could Democrats hope to claim it on election day?

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve never thought of myself as a “Joe” before, but it’s clear from tonight’s presidential debate that our two contenders think every last vote-casting one of us should respond to the nickname. McCain came out with a hard-packed Joe in both barrels, and Obama couldn’t resist hurling a hastily-scooped-up Joe or two back. So where [...]]]></description>

Yes, it&#8217;s dark, tiny, and far away, but demoting Pluto from its full-fledged &#8220;classical&#8221; planet status is cruel and elitist. Change the rules if [...]]]></description>
