		<title>Surprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was up early and pulled up the Times online to catch the headlines. I was surprised to find Richmond, Virginia on the front page. Granted it was teaser for a small Travel section story, but nonetheless; we were on the front page. Now, if you live and Richmond and have followed any of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Entertainment Value</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been fairly entertaining listening to Republicans carry on about how closing Gitmo will result in terrorists roaming amongst us, living in halfway houses. What is even better is the parody this is inspiring. What is sad is the Harry Reid took the Republican’s bait.

		<title>Doubts Dispelled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to be after posting on the release of the torture memos feeling clear about things. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I have always been clear that abandoning legal protections for prisoners and breaking from established international norms like the Geneva Convention was a mistake of biblical proportions, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read the Political Animal daily and through that I have become acquainted with Hilzoy, who posts at Political Animal frequently. But I had not read her own blog, Obsidian Wings. I highly recommend it if you follow current events at all.

		<title>Torture Memos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Obama administration released the torture memos yesterday to considerable criticism. The administration also announced that it did not intend to pursue prosecutions against operatives who engaged the practices detailed in the memos. In my opinion they made exactly the right choices.
Releasing the memos continues to put distance between the Obama administration and the criminal [...]]]></description>

I have a small number of new paintings that are finished and I am in the process of photographing. It&#8217;s hard to say when exactly I will get them all up, but here is one I am particularly pleased with.

Hunter S. Thompson
Two days ago, I stumbled across a blog post on the New York Times online that posed a very interesting question, one that I had never considered in this particular vein before. What situation or experience would be worth relapsing for?

		<title>Winston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
About ten days ago I found Winston acting like he was trying to cough up a hairball. After a final loud hack, he settled back onto his bed.  Then he went through the process again. Afterwards his breathing was very shallow and strained, but eventually he dozed off again. Monday morning he started coughing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Form or Function?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On something of an impulse I ordered &#8220;Living Out Loud&#8221; by Keri Smith. I have also been making a point of reading through her blog archives to get a better sense of where she is coming from. The more I read, the more I like her approach to art and creativity.
In her book I quickly [...]]]></description>
