		<title>If I Ran Television</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of mission creep on various television networks.  Largely the networks that have some grounding in documentary television.  Discovery, Science, History, all of these are being taken over by programming that belongs&#8230;frankly elsewhere.  So here&#8217;s my proposal: First we need two more networks.  First would be called PPA, standing for Picking, Pawning, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Babbling About a Setting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m aware that grocery stores must go out of business, but I&#8217;ve never seen one do so.  Now the Bloom near my house is closing down.  This is the Bloom that we anxiously waited for the first few months, that saved our sanity during a massive snow storm when we discovered it was in walking [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Writer Reviews: Dr. Horrible&#8217;s Sing-Along Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I start talking about this in terms of writing and character development, I&#8217;m going to say if you&#8217;ve only seen Dr. Horrible online, through Netflix, on iTunes, anything like that&#8230;track down the DVD.  Commentary, The Musical is a full length&#8230;well, musical commentary track that is value added and then some.
