		<description><![CDATA[In the spring of 1990, an envelope appeared in the mailbox of my parents&#8217; suburban home.  It was from the government.  Apparently, there was something called a Senn-Suss that came around every now and again, and then my Mom handed the envelope to me and explained that the President and his friends in Congress wanted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the title implies some sort of graduate level thesis or in-depth study, 5 days of hazy observation of the Vegas landscape leaves me more than qualified to drop about a thousands words worth of science about capitalistic theory, gambling and sex, its effects on its surroundings and other things that sound terribly, terribly smart.  [...]]]></description>
