		<description><![CDATA[Just a few random notes.  I don&#8217;t read much of John Cole&#8217;s web-site any more.  Lately, there hasn&#8217;t been much there that hasn&#8217;t already been said on Daily Kos.  But I was glad to see him counter the idea that we should go after McCain for his crony&#8217;s big payments to terrorists. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hopefully, this week, I&#8217;ll have time to post another in the Universal Common Descent series, and I just wanted to say a word or two about the importance of it. 
First - it isn&#8217;t very important.  In the grand scheme of things, it is certainly no-where near as important as the big things in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please, please, do not let election 2008 become Bible Wars 2008.  For the record, it&#8217;s very doubtful that Dobson or Obama have a proper understanding of the book behind their religion. Obama&#8217;s may have the advantage of being more vague and more self-consciously informed by modern ethical notions.  Dobson&#8217;s may have the advantage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have stated before on this blog and in other contexts that universal common ancestry is &#8220;proven&#8221; by multiple lines of very strong evidence. I sometimes take it for granted that most people are at least dimly aware of this, even if they haven&#8217;t looked into the question personally in any depth. That is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering as how Obama already has the black vote wrapped up, and motivated to appear in force, this sounds, to this cynic&#8217;s ear, like an appeal to white America.
A Sister Souljah moment, if you will pardon the cliche&#8217;. 
Bill Cosby raised the ire of many in the black community when he started his one-man crusade [...]]]></description>

Something, he concluded, must have happened around generation 20,000 that laid the groundwork for Cit+ to later evolve.
Lenski and his colleagues are now working to identify just what that earlier change was, and how it made the Cit+ mutation possible more than 10,000 generations later.

		<description><![CDATA[The real story here is a self-described atheist couple behaving very unethically.  But what I found remarkable was the quote at the end:
He added that a special ceremony would be held to purify the confession box.
What kind of ceremony gets up that kind of stuff, anyway?  If it&#8217;s my confession booth, I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

But all of this hand-wringing over it is ridiculous.  She has her reasons and she has her supporters. She has a right to do this thing [...]]]></description>

First, I realize for the first time that Republicans - the hard core, conservative Republicans who have trouble imagining anything worse than a Democratic Presidency - must be feeling now much the same way I was [...]]]></description>
