		<description><![CDATA[Same-sex marriage is a weird issue. I&#8217;ve never personally felt attracted to another man, with the possible exceptions of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. In their cases I understand that no matter what my orientation, they are out of my league, so it&#8217;s not a real issue for me. On the other hand, why would [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s called &#8220;Revenge of the Pond Scum,&#8221; for reasons that may not be obvious at first. A dozen scientists and doctors have read sections relating to their specialties or theories and suggested a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After watching several Sunday morning political discussions on TV, I had a weird little insight. Both right wing and left wing commentators accused their opponents of being elitists. At first that felt odd, because being elite seems admirable in most arenas. It means ranking near the top of a field. No one mocks someone for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, I sprouted some peach pits in a coffee can, mostly by accident. I couldn&#8217;t stand to kill the little sprouts, so I planted them. Years later, several peach trees bloomed in my backyard. Later that season, miraculously, I collected buckets of peaches from their sagging branches. Some years, I get no peaches.

We both agreed Rush&#8217;s language was inappropriate but smart business because it gave him free publicity. I maintained that Rush is simply wrong: I think contraception is a health issue worthy of coverage by insurance. My conversation [...]]]></description>

As our plane roared into the sky, everyone on that flight fell into a comfortable charade. A few conversed with whoever the clever gods of Frontier threw them next to.
