		<description><![CDATA[With the U.S. presidential elections finally here, I thought I might as well throw my opinion into the mix. After all, there's a microscopic chance that some Americans out there want me to tell them who to vote for. And for the rest of you...well, maybe you can leave me a comment or something. I've [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven't had much time for blog postings lately, hopefully that'll change soon. Given the current economic crisis, I find this movie very interesting. And timely. And a bit of a downer, actually, since it seems to offer a brutally honest explanation for why the global economy is currently self-destructing. Funny thing is, it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, since political season is in full swing these days, I thought I'd share a particularly insightful article by Matt Taibi (from The Rolling Stone). It's about Sarah Palin, who'll become America's first female vice president in January, assuming John McCain wins the upcoming election. And if that happens, she might end up becoming America's [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Check out this video. Bill Maher (my favourite political commentator and comedian) once again cuts through the political rhetoric and explains how things really are: He also unintentionally demonstrates why "They think they're better than you!" is such an effective slogan when it comes to convincing people to vote against the "liberal elites." He's still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently stumbled upon a video that I found interesting (in a depressing way.) It's a snippet of a speech by Scott Ritter. Ritter is a well-known critic of the US war in Iraq, as well as the former Chief UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq. In this video, he describes what he thinks will happen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's been a while since I've had a chance to post anything on my blog; my brother got married recently, and we've been really busy at the office working on the latest release of our software, so I haven't had a lot of free time in the last few weeks. That hasn't changed yet, unfortunately. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The US presidential election is finally starting to get interesting. Which is why I'm writing two blog postings in a row about it. The current party in power (the Republicans) have been hurt badly by President Bush's extreme unpopularity. So the President has to distance himself from this election, knowing that if he offers his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very few people who read my blog can actually vote in the US presidential elections. But perhaps you've started to ask yourself, who would I vote for if I had the chance? Well, you can answer that question very easily by filling out this handy questionnaire. In case you're curious, I matched up 100% with [...]]]></description>

It was clearly written by someone with a weak understanding of history and an unbelievably poor grasp of how world politics works. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading a great analysis of the situation in the Middle East. It's by Gwynne Dyer, whom I've previously complimented as the most accurate, realistic, and well-informed international journalist in the world. Dyer's previous books offered plenty of very prescient predictions about what was going to happen in Iraq (and why), and his [...]]]></description>
