		<title>Why WordPress is So Popular In Spite of Itself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got an email from Sitepoint this morning the subject line of which was &#8220;Why is WordPress So Popular?&#8221; I was intrigued so I opened it (I open most of their email, actually&#8230;great group!). Turned out the topic wasn&#8217;t WordPress per se but a book they published on building WordPress themes. But the question was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cable Industry Under Attack. Thank God!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MG Siegler at TechCrunch has a focused and well-thought-out piece today on how several high-tech behemoths are beginning an all-out assault on the horror that is our cable industry. &#34;Innovation always tops greed and complacency. Always,&#34; he writes.  I want to believe that in the broadest sense. But he made me believe it in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Am I the Only One or is Skype Going to Crap?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, for the fifth or sixth time in a week, I had to give up using Skype on a conference call involving 3-7 people because the sound quality dropped to a point of unusability. I used to count on Skype a lot. I pay for an inbound number for the convenience of that. For [...]]]></description>

		<title>My District&#8217;s State Senate Outcome Bodes Ill for Democrats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I live in a State Senate district in California where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans 41% to 34%. The area is a large part of the district represented in Washington by Democrat Sam Farr of Carmel, one of the more reliable liberal votes in the House. This week, former State Assemblyman John Laird, a Democrat, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why News Corp&#8217;s Stupid Idea Won&#8217;t Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon presented me with a perfect example of why Rupert Murdoch&#39;s dumb idea of charging for access to his media empire&#39;s &#34;knowledge&#34; is such a loser. There was a fake hijacking or bomb threat called in to San Francisco International Airport today. &#160;I saw the item on my Google News page. I clicked the [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Business Doesn&#8217;t Learn to Count Social Costs, They Will Destroy America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We must find a way to incorporate into our valuation of businesses the social costs of their policies, particularly environmental and labor. Absent such accountability, companies will continue to destroy the humans over whose lives they have such significant control. And the socio-economic fabric that is America will continue to decay with increasing rapidity until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gibbs&#8217; Anger Was Justified from White House Perspective. The Left IS Angry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs may lose his job over his comments yesterday for all I know. But I can say from this &#34;Professional Leftist&#34; perspective that he got us right. We as a group are ticked off at President Obama for being such a centrist afraid to take chances with bold policy-making on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everyone&#8217;s a Special Interest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An email from Organizing for America today has an appeal from a Pennsylvania teacher urging support for the state and local government relief package Congress is being called back to D.C. to adopt. The appeal is well-stated and it&#39;s a position I favor. But in the middle of her letter, this teacher makes a classic [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Recovery Leaves Us Unchanged, We Lose Badly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth about the relative slowness of the recovery from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930&#39;s. It is being called a &#34;jobless recovery.&#34; Republicans are unabashedly blaming it on the Democrats even though both parties are clearly to blame, the GOP moreso than the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safari Leads OS X Browsers in HTML5 Capability, Firefox Disappointing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being a big fan of HTML5 and one who believes that smartphone Web apps will get more and more competitive with single-platform dedicated apps, I try to monitor what&#39;s going on in the HTML5 universe. This morning, I took time to update the HTML5-readiness ratings on all the browsers I kept track of on OS [...]]]></description>
