		<title>Meek vs. Greene.  Really, who cares?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Today&#8217;s primary day in Florida.  I assume that because I signed up for little Dick Durbin&#8217;s newsletter that the DNC thinks that I&#8217;m a registered Democrat.  Whatever.  Somehow, Kendrick Meek&#8217;s US Senate campaign got my e-mail address and they&#8217;ve been sending me e-mails since, at least, May.  I have replied to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Chaplain&#8217;s View from Iraq</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Someone I like to think of as a distant relation, John Joseph O&#8217;Connor, once wrote a fine book titled A Chaplain Looks at Vietnam.  It defended the U.S. presence in the region at a time when few others would, let alone a Catholic priest serving as a U.S. Navy chaplain.  (O&#8217;Connor went on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still a Republican</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Tonight, Butch Porter of the American Conservative Party added a followup comment on an old post, and when I was done replying my comment was post-length itself. So, I&#8217;m going to feature it rather than continue that old discussion there.
	Thanks for stopping by and giving us an update, Butch. I took a look and you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill Bennett speaks for me, too</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I like Glenn Beck, I really do. He&#8217;s funny, self-deprecating, and his political analysis is&#8230; close. But it also sounds like the apocalyptic sermon of a tent-revival huckster, and as a Catholic that can sometimes sound like peasants with pitchforks are coming &#8211; and the pitchfork is pointed the wrong way.
	Fellow Catholic Bill Bennett apparently [...]]]></description>

		<title>The next big thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	For those people who don&#8217;t understand what the links in our Ford&#8217;s Theater section are all about, I thought I&#8217;d give you a look at a new game that&#8217;s sure to be added there soon.

		<title>Black Republican of the Year 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	As is our tradition, we honor the birthday of The Black Republican with our annual recognition of that person who in the past year best represents the ideals left to the Republic by our founder.  This year, we wanted to honor the Tea Partiers, but we have a distaste for the silly tendency of some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	In a favorable review of Avatar Gabe Malor says that the super-liberal hype has been overblown and the movie isn&#8217;t too bad.
	So, the final verdict: Avatar is entertaining, but not a masterpiece of plot or characterization. In fact, the plot and characters are pretty dull. It has perhaps three leftist lines which may make individuals [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;Me Too&#8221; Party dies a little</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	For years now, I&#8217;ve been warning Republicans that conditions are ripe for a principled and activist third party to form on the right &#8211; where the Republicans have held a claim for the last 40 years and realistically been the sole occupant since Johnson vs. Goldwater. I&#8217;ve never suggested this with the notion that there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Purity vs. the &#8220;Big Tent&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	A conversation is going on over at AoSHQ between the head ewok and the moron from Des Moines.  I rise in support, in as much as that&#8217;s practical.
	I honestly have no desire to push people away who would may agree with me on some issues and help me win elections. But I also have [...]]]></description>
