		<description><![CDATA[Last week New Yorker columnist George Packer noted that while Sarah Palin&#8217;s syntax is mangled, more significantly it lacks verbs. It&#8217;s mostly nouns. Maverick, hockey mom, Joe sixpack, elitist, terrorist, small-town people&#8211;lots of heavily loaded nouns.

		<description><![CDATA[As you know, when I&#8217;m not juicing the details of everyday interaction to extract the basic dance moves people make in dealing with tough judgment calls, I&#8217;m working with academic colleagues on putting together what I&#8217;ll call a SCIBIT-a Scientifically Coherent Integrated Bottom-up Information Theory. Information theory is a theory about what information is and [...]]]></description>
