					<description><![CDATA[(“down with caviar, long live kebab”) There is something incredibly populist about the kebab. It’s a symbol of the immigrant, of the working class, and because it is literally just a hunk of minced and spiced meat, it can become the canvas upon which any culture can draw. Consider the “We will deep-fry your kebab” [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Exactly two years ago on the morning of Election Day, I wrote this on Facebook: Its gonna be alright, folks. If Trump wins, it’s gonna be alright. Think about everything Obama wanted to do but couldn’t. The Presidency is not a monarchy. And no one hates Trump more than the Republicans whose ideology I disagree [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[All campaigns need to appeal to the voter. There are a lot of dichotomies at play. For example you can ask voters to vote for something or ask them to vote against someone or something. You can articulate a message of what is possible, or a message of what is broken.
