		<description><![CDATA[Expressions are so confusing. Currently, when stories break in places like Haiti, Chile, Afghanistan and others, reporters that go to cover the stories tell us what is happening. When they get to the locations and begin filing their reports, I always hear, “Our reporter is on the ground …” Do they have options? Could they, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw some tweets to a post, The Trouble With Twitter (Melissa Hart, The Chronicle review), and something occurred to me. The essay is another of the many Twitter critiques that, personally, I&#8217;m finding a bit tiresome. After reading it, I thought that what it amounted to was, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to change.&#8221; That&#8217;s fine. [...]]]></description>

While I had something completely different in mind, that same headline is even more relevant to today with the Telegraph-Journal, the primary newspaper in Saint John, New Brunswick.

I think it says in a much better way (as in clearer) what I&#8217;ve been getting at in a few of my posts. His headline, of course, [...]]]></description>
