		<description><![CDATA[For a relatively relaxed person like myself, everything in New York is just slightly too fast-paced. Easing yourself into a day is a practical impossibility. Everywhere you look there are people acting as if they&#8217;re starring in a bus-less version of the movie Speed, and that if they slow down below 50 mph, they&#8217;ll spontaneously [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today has been a proud day for United States. A triumph for the American dream, and for the ideal that all men, women and children are equal regardless of colour, gender or religion. A vindication of the dream that Dr Martin Luther King had more than forty years ago, and a redemption from eight years [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that has always impressed me about the American political system is the idea that the presidential campaign is a no-holds-barred battle for the hearts and minds of the US people, but once the votes have been counted (or recounted, or argued over in court), politicians and people unite behind the selected President. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Sure, most of it&#8217;s spam offering to help me &#8216;make her sigh&#8217; or trying to give me approximately $8 million dollars from a mysterious account in Ghana, but such fripperies don&#8217;t put [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven’t passed comment on the election since the historic events of November 4. After all, I don’t even have the vote, let alone an inside track on the political machinations that led to the Democrats winning Virginia, so sometimes it’s just best to keep quiet. All I can say is that I stayed up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to the media, I think objectivity is a little over-rated. I like the fact that certain newspapers – British and American &#8211; nail their colours to the political mast, and go out of their way to attract those of a certain ideological persuasion. It&#8217;s why The Guardian with its relatively socially progressive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look, this is no political blog, and I&#8217;d like to think that people of all ideological persuasions are welcome here. But after tonight&#8217;s vice presidential debate, I find myself duty-bound to make five points: 1. Why aren&#8217;t there ever any debates between party leaders or their deputies in the UK? I&#8217;d have paid good money [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s wryly amusing seeing that the Evening Standard has been forced to apologise to Prince Philip for wrongly claiming that he was fighting prostate cancer. Not because of the nature of the illness that the Queen&#8217;s husband absolutely and categorically does not have, but just because it&#8217;s rare to hear a story that&#8217;s not about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was accidentally included on an email exchange today between a few intelligent Americans talking about Barack Obama&#8217;s recent Berlin speech. The back-and-forth quickly turned into a discussion regarding America&#8217;s role in the post-World War II rehabilitation of Europe. The Marshall Plan was, after all, one of a series of important measures that helped rebuild [...]]]></description>
