		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Palin had plenty of opportunity to jump into the ring, and make hay in Iowa at the expense of her lookalike Michelle Bachmann. But with the Iowa Straw Poll this Sunday in Ames, IA, it looks like she&#8217;s gonna continue to be a no-show in this race, despite the fact that poor Barack just [...]]]></description>

At a billion minus users, Facebook is the internet equivalent of Shanghai (with its puny real life population of thirty million), a shiny, boosterist, creation which is mostly facade (pardon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s official. Thereisnoplan has declared Little Taco-Dog Poops a menace to decent society. The basic problem is simple. Tiny little dark stringy dog poops that nestle in the sidewalk grass. But the real issue goes deeper &#8211; indeed right to the heart of civic responsibility. Were the owners of those obnoxious little Yorkies and Chihuahuas just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s your face. Don&#8217;t let Facebook tell you otherwise. Perhaps it was always about creating a big book of people&#8217;s faces.  But it certainly seems like Facebook&#8217;s latest attempt to control the &#8216;social graph&#8217; of the entire planet is the ultimate emblem of its profoundly amoral, conscience-free, pursuit-of-profit megalomania. The idea that you can post a [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s nothing they love better than discarding the inconvenient bits of a story to fit their purpose, whether that purpose is to sell mattresses or glorify the nation&#8217;s founding. A classic example of this is The Boston Tea Party of 1773. Indeed, so central a story is it in American Folklore that [...]]]></description>

But in the detached, bloodless world of the Social Network much of that meaning is lost. It&#8217;s almost as if the same word is used to describe two states that differ profoundly.
