		<description><![CDATA[Between the transfer of Guantanamo Prisoners to the prison in Thompson, Illinois, and conversation today about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed possibly being tried there, I&#8217;ve had to endure a lot of handwringing and general, for lack of a better word, terror about what it would mean to have this guy &#8220;right in our back yard&#8221; as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up on mid-80s Chicago Cubs baseball broadcasts.  Portions of my childhood are punctuated by exclamations of &#8220;Holy Cow!&#8221; and other such Harry Caray-isms.  I have made the jump since then to White Sox fandom, but that doesn&#8217;t preclude the fact that I have many memories of spending summer afternoons camped out in front [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about this whole &#8220;apply to be an alderman&#8221; thing that the Mayor threw out there a while back.  I mean, yes, I&#8217;ve been continually (yet very quietly) organizing my campaign for about the last 4 or 5 years.  I think maybe a dozen people know about it at this point.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s release of an Esquire article featuring Ravenswood&#8217;s favorite citizen, Rod Blagojevich, has everyone talking because race makes people freak out in this country like nothing else.  And we&#8217;ll probably be talking about it all week &#8211; or until Blago says something else with foot firmly ensconced in mouth. But it&#8217;s what we&#8217;re not talking [...]]]></description>

At one point, I will grant [...]]]></description>
