		<title>Shakespearean Riddle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A very easy one, I&#8217;m afraid. Which play did I see at the Blackfriars Playhouse tonight? One that reminded me of something I hadn&#8217;t thought of in many years. Back in 1985 or so, I was working for a &#8216;beltway bandit&#8217; at Tysons Corner, and one of the other companies in the same mid-rise office [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Original Is This?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Staunton, Virginia has a one-unit hotel, The Storefront, &#8220;a very small hotel&#8221;. Is this sort of thing found in other cities as well? It&#8217;s certainly a clever idea. Guests receive a certificate good for breakfast at either of two eateries less than a block away. Presumably the owner or a representative comes by once a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worldwide Fame?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just been profiled - the good kind of profiling - over at Normblog. Go over there to see what he asked and what I answered, then come back here if you have any comments on either. Comments are moderated, and I have a day job, so they may not appear for up to eight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Further Discrimination Needed For This Hypothesis?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent study purports to show that resumes with &#8216;black&#8217; names on them are less likely to lead to an interview than those with &#8216;white&#8217; names. I won&#8217;t quibble with the selection of names, other than to note that both of the Leroys I know (one first name, one middle) are white.
What bothers me about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Victimology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Phyllis Chesler&#8217;s latest column is titled &#8220;Islamist Agressors are Really the Victims&#8221; (in their own minds, of course). That reminded me of a newspaper story I hadn&#8217;t thought of in years, about something that happened in San Francisco around 1980. As I recall, it went something like this:
A man and a woman, strangers to each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dubious Oracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first time I heard the Waco Brothers&#8217; song &#8220;The Wickedest City in the World&#8221;, I was surprised to hear that the city was Chicago. Not that I had a specific alternative candidate in mind - I just thought that Chicago, while definitely in the Top Ten of wicked cities, was surely not Number One, [...]]]></description>

		<title>False Dichotomy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Megan McArdle writes:
The economy is at best heading into a soft patch; at worst it is going into the second dip of a double-dip recession.

This is not the worst possibility, rather the middle one of three. McArdle&#8217;s dichotomy should be a trichthotomy, split three ways (not a &#8216;trichotomy&#8217;: that would be the act of splitting [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 9 Types of College Teachers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are more than nine, but this School is Hell cartoon covers the most important ones (&#254; Colby Cosh). I link it here partly for you, dear readers, partly so I can find it again myself, since Cosh&#8217;s twittery link is evanescent. The fifth and seventh types seem to overlap a bit.

		<title>Psycho-Logical Warfare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long War Journal reports that Al Qaeda&#8217;s Brigade 13 has established a website. I assume the NSA, CIA, DIA, and other organizations unknown to the general public are already competing to see who will be the first to hack into it and find ways to acquire (or insert) damaging information, but there&#8217;s another approach worth [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Riddle of the Sphinx, Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What blogs on four buttocks in the morning, as many as ten buttocks in the afternoon, and two buttocks in the evening? Alas, no buttocks are left, and 2Blowhards is shutting down. It (they?) will be missed.
