		<description><![CDATA[The Gap&#8217;s &#8220;Holiday&#8221; ad this year is beginning to attract some attention, because the lyrics sung over the ad&#8217;s frenetic dancers state, at one point, &#8220;Go Christmas!  Go Hanukkah!  Go Kwanzaa!  Go Solstice!&#8221; 

The mention of the winter solstice is unusual for a mainstream retailer, but the ad&#8217;s desire to evoke a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I try to keep track of the various terror trials that get local news coverage but little attention nationally. In September, the Christian Science Monitor counted up 21 terror plots uncovered in the U.S. since 9/11. Usually the dinosaur media doesn&#8217;t want to worry the pubic with such disquieting facts&#8211;that attempted terrorism goes on rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve pointed out before that New York&#8217;s liberal media elite don&#8217;t want the public to discuss IQ, but they almost all get their four-year-olds&#8217; IQs tested so they can win admission to fashionable private preschools. Now the New York toddler IQ testing madness has spread to New York public schools. From the New York Times:

Because Malcolm takes the politically correct conventional wisdom (you can&#8217;t make useful predictions about people, heredity doesn&#8217;t matter, just environment and effort, etcetera etcetera) seriously enough to apply it in all sorts of situations where a more prudent hack would shy away, making him the a One-Man Reductio [...]]]></description>
