		<title>Progressives Are Not Stupid, Glenn Beck.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night&#8217;s episode of The Daily Show played a clip of Glenn Beck from the 2010 CPAC.
CPAC, 2010

Watch the whole thing (if you can stomach it) here.
The &#8220;good&#8221; part starts around 7:40 in.

		<title>Making Protests Convenient For White People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how much coverage this is receiving outside of the Toronto, Ontario/Canada news media, so I&#8217;d like to call it to everyone&#8217;s attention.

		<title>Religion and Remembering</title>

I watched Bill Maher on The Daily Show last night. 
You know, I was with him with the whole &#8220;religion is crazy&#8221; bit, especially when he compared the ridiculousness of Scientology with Christianity, but here&#8217;s where things started to derail for me.

Dos and Don&#8217;ts of Summer Office Wardrobe
If your boss gazes at your cleavage, it&#8217;s a problem with your boss, NOT your cleavage. Once again, it&#8217;s OUR fault for having breasts which tempt men into sin.

		<title>Women Are Soldiers in the Misogyny Army</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I moved into a new place about a week ago so things around here have been a bit of a mess. 
That is the excuse I am giving as to why I didn&#8217;t find out about this amazing event until today.
