		<title>Caucus night in Colorado:  who&#8217;s who, and WTF?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s caucus night!  I&#8217;m not caucusing because that&#8217;s only for Republicans, but apparently dozens of my fellow citizens are wandering dazedly through middle school hallways looking for their precinct caucus room right now as I&#8217;m typing.  God love &#8216;em.  This roundup has a Republican primary theme to it.  Cue the Lee Greenwood sound track, and let&#8217;s rock: Who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who let the dogs out?  The importance of a diverse faculty.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tenured Radical offers some thoughts from pseudonymous guest blogger Herlin Hathaway, a Jamaican American graduate of a small, liberal arts college who&#8217;s midway through his first year in a Ph.D. program.  The main point of the post is to get some insight into academic transitions like Hathaway&#8217;s, but to me the strongest point that came [...]]]></description>

		<title>SNOWPOCALYPSE not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up at 4:30 this morning to an NPR news update claiming that a major snowstorm is hitting Eastern Colorado, with up to 2 feet of snow by the end of the day!!! Here&#8217;s what I observed: 2-3 inches of snow on the ground, most of which fell before bedtime last night, and some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yes we CANada!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[But wait: there&#8217;s more! It&#8217;s hose or be hosed, friends, so I&#8217;ll proudly vote Canada this year. It will only be a few more decades when global warming will make them our masters, anyway. All of that sweet, fresh, water and melting arctic ice. . . I say surrender now while it still seems kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>And their music?  It&#8217;s just noise!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At Inside Higher Ed today, William Bradley offers a humorous and self-deprecating essay on his memories of college versus the conduct he observes in his students.  With every essay he finds cut-and-pasted from Wikipedia, with every mobile ringtone he hears during his classes, and with every complacent D student he meets, he wonders about the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s hard to be truly evil when you&#8217;re just stupid.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was concerned last week when I heard about Google&#8217;s plan to share information across all Google accounts.  But then prompted by this story on NPR last night, I dialed up my &#8220;Ads Preferences Mananger Page,&#8221; and this was the extent of the personal information I found: Your demographics: We infer your age and gender [...]]]></description>

		<title>Insert better headline here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I clicked on this link over at Politico yesterday, as it was billed as &#8220;Tyler&#8217;s Grankid:  Newt&#8217;s a &#8217;jerk&#8216;.&#8221;  Who the hell is Tyler, I wondered?  Surely not President John Tyler (1790-1862).  Could anyone alive today really have a grandparent who was born in the eighteenth century? Most Americans think Newt Gingrich is a jerk&#8211;that&#8217;s hardly news.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>The beatings will indeed continue until morale improves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, go read Tenured Radical&#8217;s post from yesterday.  I&#8217;ll wait. Doesn&#8217;t President Barack Obama&#8217;s speech at the University of Michigan remind you of the time that George W. Bush went to Notre Dame and Bob Jones and told them to stop being such one-issue whiners about abortion?  Or like that time he went to Haliburton and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bipartisanship rules!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wasn&#8217;t it a heartwarming and remarkable display of bipartisan comity to see the House of Representatives united in their support for the idea that U.S. Congressmen and Congresswomen should not be shot in the face when meeting with constituents?  Awesome!  (H/t to Fratguy for this observation.) Although I have nothing against her politics, I&#8217;m glad that Gabrielle (Gabby) [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Daily Stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know what is worse&#8211;the fact that The Daily Beast has published a press release for this fertility doctor as a news story, or the fact that this story recycles the completely unbelieveable trope that women in their 30s and 40s are truly surprised when they learn they might not be able to have children:  Some bosses [...]]]></description>
