		<title>BARRY SEAL AND THE ANATOMY OF THE MENA MYTH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After more than six months of posting four a week missives about a variety of people, places and issues, I will occasionally repeat a few of the Derelict Gunslinger&#8217;s greatest hits—at least in terms of google. The number of blog visitors has increased significantly. However, most viewers don&#8217;t have the time, nor inclination, to search through my archives.

		<title>PREMATURE ARTICULATION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s many people in the world just like our Henny-Penny, 
They panic when they listen to the news, 
They think the sky is falling and we&#8217;re all about to die, 
I&#8217;d say they have the Henny-Penny-Blues. 

The Lightnin&#8217; Hopkins song should be adopted as the anthem of the Tea Party. &#8220;The sky is falling&#8221; iseems [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;VE GOT A SECRET</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The release of more than 90,000 classified documents by Wikileak this week has opponents of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan peeing in their drawers. Journalists are also staining their britches. Nothing causes a reporter to get more excited than acquiring a document marked &#8220;Secret.&#8221;  Having spent three decades of my life in pursuit of secrets, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>SHIRLEY SHARROD COVERAGE: CNN CRUSADE OR EXPLOITATION?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t mean to abuse the 12-Step analogy, but CNN needs some sort of treatment for its obsessive coverage of &#8220;Breaking News.&#8221; The network&#8217;s reporting of the Shirley Sharrod scandal is a classic example of overkill. By the time the weekend rolled around, CNN viewers began losing interest in Sherrod. This is unfortunate because there are facets [...]]]></description>

		<title>DUMPING ON SHIRLEY SHERROD A GREAT EVENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a half-full glass kind of guy. And when bad things happen to good people (or even bad people, for that matter), I look for the positives. In the case of fired Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod much has been gained this week.
Foremost is exposing low-life Andrew Breitbart&#8217;s as right-wing scum. Prior to releasing [...]]]></description>

		<title>JESUS WAS A LIBERAL AND SO AM I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you hear the one about the guy who feeds 5000 people with two fish and five loaves of bread? Read all about it in Mark 6: 30-44. I know this opening line makes me sound like a religious zealot. So I will analogize by referring to a more secular character—the guy planning to provide health coverage to 32-million uninsured Americans [...]]]></description>

		<title>BILL O&#8217;REILLY IS RIGHT AND WRONG</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is no getting around the fact that Bill O&#8217;Reilly must be one smart guy. Just ask him. He is a Harvard graduate with a couple of Masters Degrees, plus extensive training in the art of assholism (I know there&#8217;s no such word, but in explaining the use of the word, &#8220;refudiate,&#8221; Sarah Palin assured fans that it [...]]]></description>

		<title>TEA PARTIERS NEED A 12-STEP PROGRAM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous 75 years ago and the beginning of Alanon for spouses and families of alcoholics shortly thereafter, the &#8220;anonymous&#8221; label has been attached to a multitude of 12-step recovery programs. Spin-offs are designed to deal with an array chemical, physical and emotional problems—gambling, sex, eating disorders, addictions to illegal and/or prescription drugs, and an [...]]]></description>
