		<description><![CDATA[I’m going to let myself slide today with some more-or-less random thoughts in lieu of truly concluding yesterday’s post. The first of which is, I’m now wondering whether broadcast TV isn’t itself in a somewhat analogous position to our imperiled &#8220;print media&#8221; friends. That is, does the &#8220;broadcast&#8221; of Mad Men on Sunday evenings on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent the 4th of July post singing the praises of Rolling Stone magazine, and suggesting that their investigative reporting, arguably the only remaining vital component of the magazine, has served mightily over the pas decade in the service of American liberty. I still believe that, but today I wanted to wonder with you about [...]]]></description>

I think I’ve &#8220;come out,&#8221; previously, as a Christian in these pages, so my own prejudices in that area are already on the table. But I’m going to complain today about the depiction of [...]]]></description>

It’s hard for a guy with a day job to keep up with the speed of sound, even when the sound’s this slow. Maybe Hipster-hated Chris Martin can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to my friend Michael Coyle for today’s provocation. The term &#8220;hipster&#8221;—which just a couple of years ago would have seemed as lame and dated as &#8220;cat&#8221; or &#8220;daddy-o&#8221;—has inexplicably become &#8220;hip&#8221; again. Pomona student Tim McKee wrote a great paper about this last year; I owe most of what I know about it to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I’ve noticed something in the conversations of my students and my hipper colleagues, over about the past year I’d say. As a part of speech, &#8220;so&#8221; most commonly acts as an adverb, and often as an intensifier—&#8221;He’s so good looking!&#8221; It’s much less frequently found at the start of a sentence, especially in formal [...]]]></description>
