		<description><![CDATA[l&#8221;&#62;Light cool day; everything in the hall feels a bit anticlimactic after last night. I’m sitting in Rice Park with MSNBC blaring in the background. No protests at the moment; there was one sad 9/11 truther walking around with a pole. No sign, just a pole. The Mossad took it! A couple has set up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the delay here, but we&#8217;ve been caught up in the endless swirl of schmoozing hard-nosed impromptu political analysis in the halls. You can&#8217;t swing a cat without hitting someone who believes that you&#8217;re wrong, you should have swung a dachschund, but if the internal tracking polls are correct it doesn&#8217;t matter because people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Episode 2 of the convention diary is up; it’s about all the merry events surrounding Monday’s protests. The video doesn’t address any subsequent unpleasantness that happened en route; if you want additional views, the Uptake was there. It also doesn’t cover any peripheral misbehavior, such as the cement-bag dropping matter mentioned yesterday. (More on that [...]]]></description>

They are moving at the usual pace of a protest march - is that the natural gait and speed of crowds of people not fleeing anything bad or running [...]]]></description>

The widescreen TV and Wii are gone; there&#8217;s no Diet Pepsi in the media spa (plenty of free beer, though, if Coors qualifies; yesterday a can bobbing in the melted ice water leaked, and the water actually got lighter). Grim men are [...]]]></description>

Everything is coasting to the conclusion - the buzz around the Pepsidrome has completely evaporated, along [...]]]></description>

It may be that [...]]]></description>
