The War on Terror: a retrospective
If wars age in dog years in a democratic society, then the War on Terror has just turned 70. Not a bad place to be, considering that at 70 you’re senior [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I dunno what it is, but every time I look back at something that I wrote days, months, years ago I think it totally blows. I just started to get my shit together and renovate Zacwrites (or at least update it) and mistook 101 Jesii as an article I never posted. Man was it verbose [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the past few years, no other cultural staple has been more pummeled into retardation than vampires. Back in the day, they had the romantic depth to please the ladies while still maintaining enough killer integrity to get a nod from the men. Bram Stoker&#8217;s vampire turned the boon of immortality on its head &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During my money-seeking travels I came across Constant Content, a site that allows writers to submit articles to be auctioned off to purchasers in need of content. I half-assedly clicked around and discovered that they have a humor section, of which the most recent submission is &#8216;top ten reasons you know you&#8217;re a dog lover.&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This book gets two stars instead of zero because it looped around the fail bend with such velocity that it actually became laughably good.  The characters only exist to have things happen to them, and by things I mean rapes.

Seriously, the whole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Toronto Star ran a game-changing piece of journalism on the state of Canadian flag displays in Zellers yesterday.

Apparently, a Zellers customer was offended by the presence of Halloween decorations in front of a Canadian flag on the wall. Apparently, that&#8217;s considered to be news these days. Best part is, not being one to deviate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an article from Xinhua that I translated. I am by no means a Chinese translation pro-star, so don&#8217;t go citing this in your dissertations or anything. And BTW,  I tend to gravitate towards the feel-good, love-your-country articles because there&#8217;s a certain camp quality to them- nay, a &#8216;Growing Pains&#8217; feel to them.

		<description><![CDATA[This is an article about highly personal, divinity-free interpretations of Jesus. It&#8217;s written pretty tongue-in-cheek. Jesii is the plural for Jesus&#8230;in a perfect world. 

Painted only using what my mother used to tell me, my portrait of Jesus at age seven cast him as something of a magical religious hippy. His compassion was matched only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first of what is sure to be many stillborn article pitches. It definitely was fun to write though. This version is missing a section on apathy, as I had to cut to keep the word count down. 

Karl Marx spoke of historical determinism, a process by which human history moves through stages [...]]]></description>
