		<description><![CDATA[Grammy Nominations are in again for this year.  At first glance, it is the usual Grammy affair: a mix of the profound and the trivial pulled either from obvious sources or apparently arbitrarily.  Like everyone else, I&#8217;m looking for the bands I care about, wanting them to win, but yet still paradoxically denouncing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A wonderful song on the 1975 Queen album Night at the Opera is &#8216;39.  This lovely jig has a context deeply rooted in physics.  It was written by Dr. Brian May, guitarist for Queen (&#8221;Another One Bites the Dust&#8221;, &#8220;We Are The Champions&#8221;, etc. etc. etc.), who finished his Ph.D. in astrophysics at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve described myself as &#8220;liberal leaning with a Libertarian streak.&#8221;   In short, I believe social responsibility and fiscal responsibility are not mutually exclusive.  We can have it all, but it takes a careful implementation of both traditional (socially) liberal and (fiscally) conservative philosophies to make it work in practice. In this sense, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few things which could cause a complete reversal of Obama&#8217;s lead over McCain.  In particular, during the last debate:
5) Obama appears on stage in a clown suit and delivers non sequitur responses in a squeaky voice through a dirty sock puppet while admitting he helped organize the 9-11 attacks;
4) Bush endorses [...]]]></description>

Instead, I&#8217;d like to pay a brief tribute to Jaco Pastorious, arguably the greatest and most influential bass player of his generation.  [...]]]></description>

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva Switzerland successfully performed a diagnostic today and rotated a proton beam around the ring in each direction (clockwise and counterclockwise).  This is a diagnostic step before performing actual collisions at full energy in the coming weeks and months.  With a circumference of 17 miles, [...]]]></description>

From Marketblog, &#8220;We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents,&#8221; said Palin.  Obviously, despite their otherwise pro-life rhetoric in other contexts, the right to choose is still an important part [...]]]></description>

I try to keep my exact positions non-partisan and evaluate each policy situation case-by-case.  I admire the social left for its heart, but don&#8217;t think they usually go about achieving their goals in the most efficient way.  [...]]]></description>
