		<title>David Foster Wallace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this on Andrew Sullivan&#8217;s blog. It&#8217;s worth your time, even if you haven&#8217;t worked up enough gumption to read &#8220;Infinite Jest.&#8221;

		<title>Weighty Matters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When somebody writes something that makes you laugh out loud, it should not go unrecognized. John Kenney, in today&#8217;s New York Times, does just that.

		<title>&#8220;Kill &#8216;em! Kill &#8216;em all! Take &#8216;em Out!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was driving on Loma Larga in Corrales when I heard the caller to KKOB say what so many others had only hinted at in the past year or so. I don&#8217;t remember what the &#8220;topic&#8221; of the moment was during the Jim Villanucci show that day. I&#8217;m not sure it makes a difference when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now Where Was I &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been awhile. September, I think. Liz reminded me often that it had been a long time since I posted anything on the blog. Then Frank, a cousin in Connecticut, e-mailed and said something about &#8230; September, I think.
Then I started to hear from former readers of the column I wrote for 28 years in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diagnosis: Cancer &#8212; Insurance Canceled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another story from the &#8220;free market,&#8221; where all is glorious if those meddlesome &#8220;socialist, fascist, commie&#8221; reformers would just let insurance companies dump people when the mood strikes. It&#8217;s all about money, friends, but we know that, don&#8217;t we?

		<title>Morning in America &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, when I wrote a column for the Albuquerque Journal, it was my privilege to write about a young couple who, after many struggles, built independent lives for themselves. They, in fact, were very much in love. Now comes a story from the LA Times that makes me wonder what the hell [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Just Have To Love the GOP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the Republicans &#8230; well, you just have to see it to believe it. Now they&#8217;re sending out fund-raising letters that tell Republican voters that if the Democrats pass healthcare reform, the Democrats will take away healthcare from Republicans.
Really. Jon Stewart didn&#8217;t make it up.

		<title>Baseball &#8212; A Love Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Fleck, the Albuquerque Journal&#8217;s science writer, has a fine love story up on his blog &#8211; jfleck at inkstain. Page down just a bit and you&#8217;ll see it. It&#8217;s just below &#8220;Texas Drought.&#8221; It&#8217;s timing was perfect, Liz and I having just returned from a game Friday night in which we found ourselves in [...]]]></description>

		<title>ABQ Journal Watch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago, boys and girls, a fine rabble rouser named Mark Acuff gave the Albuquerque Journal much heartburn in his &#8220;New Mexico Independent.&#8221; (It&#8217;s no relation to the current online New Mexico Independent. Acuff&#8217;s was written on and printed on actual paper. (Google &#8220;paper.&#8221; It will explain everything.)
Now we have a veteran former [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Twofer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past I have suggested that you read Jon Carroll in the San Francisco Chronicle. The reasons are many &#8212; his writing, his thinking, his humor, his ability to cut through the baloney and get to the good stuff. Today, I&#8217;m going to suggest again that you read him &#8212; and there&#8217;s an added [...]]]></description>
