		<description><![CDATA[Last year, during black history month, Eric Holder, our first black AG, called us &#8220;a nation of cowards&#8221; when it comes to discussing race. That was the single phrase seized on by many in the media, on both the right and the left, and it was the phrase used to praise or denigrate Holder&#8217;s speech [...]]]></description>

I took care of a little personal business, listened to some old and new music, and pretty much moaned the day away. I figured I&#8217;d take another shot at sharing a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post was initially headed in the direction of parsing a little history around the word intellectual. It just didn&#8217;t come together as a single post, and I am not great at separating a long post into constituent parts – so the beginning of my posts on men of letters as they were once called, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I answer, that it is assuming very much more. There is the greatest difference between presuming an opinion to be true, because, with every opportunity for contesting it, it has not been refuted, and assuming its truth for the purpose of not permitting its refutation. Complete liberty of contradicting and disproving our opinion, is the [...]]]></description>

Though I&#8217;ve got the album (CD to those younger than I), I didn&#8217;t know about this beautiful tribute with slides to a wonderful song. So for today&#8217;s post, please take the time to watch a quiet song honoring our fallen citizen soldiers, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I opened this new version of Skalduggery with a post concerning cowardice and virtues that had as its triggering subject an article by Christopher Hitchens. It happened that I disagreed with Hitchens in that case – I found his claim that &#8220;religion poisons everything&#8220; unconvincing. More, it&#8217;s often easier to find ideological zealotry outside of religion; [...]]]></description>

There has been A Slobbering Love Affair for Obama in the media generally, and an obvious lack of holding our newest president to account for his actions or lack of action. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time religions were categorized or classified as either Apollonian or Dionysian. The Apollonian faiths were more cerebral, focused on knowledge, poetry, and the arts. Dionysian faiths were more earthy and visceral, focusing praise, celebration, fellowship. Think in terms of Episcopalians and any of the many Charismatic churches. In a variety of ways, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend John and I had an exchange in the comments section of a video I embedded, and he used a phrase that resembled something I&#8217;ve heard on line a few times: &#8220;&#8216;I got mine, screw everyone else&#8217; types.&#8221; The discussion is about health care, and the comments are already on record, but I remembered [...]]]></description>
