		<title>&#8216;Late Night&#8217; writer needs nine more ways &#8216;recession&#8217; is like &#8216;recess&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels
It&#8217;s a busy time at work, what with the Cannes Film Festival and broadcast upfronts, together at last.
The upfronts are the week when the five broadcast networks announce their fall schedules and show off their new series to advertisers in the hope that wheelbarrows of money will soon follow.
Speaking of, remember the &#8217;90s? [...]]]></description>

This week I partook of the sweet nectar that is &#8220;what everybody else is doing&#8221; (versus my usual activity of &#8220;mostly working and not much else&#8221;). Yes, I picked up a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV: Lord of Illusions and I went and saw Iron Man on opening weekend.
Iron Man made eleventy-billion-ten [...]]]></description>

		<title>grandpas, holocaust, sex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels
I have a conservative grandfather and I have a liberal grandfather. Neither is what you would call fanatical in his beliefs, but both definitely have an opinion and aren&#8217;t afraid to forward it along as an e-mail attachment. Oh yes, my grandfathers took the senior cruise across the digital divide, lingered in the [...]]]></description>

Craigslist: Edit Spaish Website. Must be detail oriented - $40/hr
Spanish. I read a lot of Craigslist postings from companies looking for writers or editors. There&#8217;s always something special when the headline proves their need to fill the position.
Oh, and the site needing translation is www.lamejorliposuccion.com, which translates to &#8220;The Best Liposuction&#8221; (dot com).

		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels
I played in the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational Saturday and wrote about it for Hollywood Reporter&#8217;s Past Deadline blog here.
That little post doesn&#8217;t go into much detail about my personal experience at the tournament. I was planning to do more of writeup for this site at some point in the not-too-distant future. [...]]]></description>

		<title>someone, anyone for president</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels
I spend a good deal of time assuming that our next president will be an order of magnitude better than our current president. Which is fine, since I also spend a good deal of time realizing that that probably isn&#8217;t true and our president will likely always leave something to be desired, and [...]]]></description>

Yes, yes, I know. I&#8217;m not even going to start by acknowledging that it&#8217;s been a while before I&#8217;ve posted anything. Ah hell, I just did. Moving on &#8230;
At some point in the last several months I predicted that 2008 was going to be the greatest year of my life, and so far [...]]]></description>

I should have posted about this sooner, but the last couple weeks have been crazy. Stephanie Haranczyk, who disappeared more than a year ago, has made contact with her family and is doing well. 
Thanks again for everyone who showed up seemingly out of the clear blue sky to help a bunch of [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m mostly sorry for not posting, but it&#8217;s been a hectic few weeks. I have a new full-time job, which wasn&#8217;t part of the plan, but hey &#8212; plans change. I&#8217;m now a news editor for this little website, which is cool, but my schedule is way different now and I&#8217;m trying to [...]]]></description>

Hey NBC! Why not have the new American Gladiators serve as hosts and presenters at the ailing Golden Globes? Picket-line problems solved! Also, I&#8217;d totally watch that.

&#8220;And the winner for best actress in a musical or comedy television series is &#8230;&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels
Someone was talking about Christmas truces the other day. I apologize for not remembering who it was. At the time, I thought, &#8220;Wow, that&#8217;s a really great story.&#8221; And I meant that, although I must admit I was a bit skeptical about how true it was.
I mean, soldiers from opposing sides in a [...]]]></description>

CNN: Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy raises legal questions
Yes, she&#8217;s pregnant, she&#8217;s 16, her boyfriend is 18, and there&#8217;s a bunch of hubbub. Depending on where they got down, it could be illegal. Blah blah blah, who cares. What&#8217;s really at issue is the unfortunate choice of phrasing used by the law professor whom [...]]]></description>

		<title>castillo to make pirates sorry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels

I read this question and I said to myself, &#8220;Who is Jose Castillo and why did pirates have him?&#8221; It took me probably a full 20 seconds to realize it&#8217;s a baseball question (I didn&#8217;t read the answer options while I was considering this, obviously). Then I thought about what an awesome world [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;halo 3&#8242; gets its ass reviewed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Charley Daniels
I know this is old. Ben &#8220;Yahtzee&#8221; Croshaw tears Halo 3 a new one, and he&#8217;s absolutely right, for the most part. I enjoyed the game, but everything he says in this review is true. The multiplayer aspects do make it worthwhile, but the single-player campaign is terrible. Most importantly, he&#8217;s pretty funny.

Time for another exclamation-filled edition of Hey You! (Advice you didn&#8217;t even know you needed!).
Hey expecting mothers! If you think Dale is the perfect name, you’re right! There is a catch, however: There’s no little girl version! For Christopher, there’s Christina; for Charles, there’s Charlotte; for Nicholas, there’s Nicole &#8212; but what about [...]]]></description>

Whew! Wheeehew! I did it, man. NaBloPoMo didn&#8217;t defeat me, even though it tried. And my November journey came full circle, as yesterday I was finally able to lay down a long, loud honk of solidarity for the writers whose trust I abused earlier this month. I&#8217;d tell the story, but it&#8217;s essentially [...]]]></description>

Been paying attention to job postings a little more closely lately for whatever reason, and some of them are pretty interesting. Take this one:
We need a creative, corky, romantic and fun writer to help with our online site for Friday 11/30/2007 and Monday 12/3/2007.
That is the entire text of the listing. But no [...]]]></description>
