		<title>‘How I learned to stop worrying about global capitalism via perpetual intoxication.’</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea that there is something innately pure or dignified about holding down a job in our postmodern, ‘post-history’ society is about as defunct as North American manufacturing. It’s a bygone notion from a bygone past.  
“What’s changed?” You may be asking yourself, because you like most people are under the impression that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taidot reflections of fantastic depth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a dainty café, studying Mandarin, repeating the word as I write out the characters time and time again. It being Chinese, I tend to get a bit loud as I try to enunciate the tones clearly enough for my shoddy brain to remember. I get lost in the process, moving from word to word, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Film Review: Lars Von Trier&#8217;s ANTICHRIST!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This movie throws the rule book out the window, though not before subjecting it to all kinds of debasement. It’s like Antichrist shatters all of your preconceptions- normally a good thing- but this time in a way that leaves you cold, disoriented, and wanting nothing more than to return to your original state of conceptual [...]]]></description>

		<title>The War on Terror: a retrospective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an article I wrote about our perpetual elephant in the room &#8211; the War on TERRORRRRR! Dun dun ba-dunnnnn.
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>

		<title>The second coming of 101 Jesii</title>
		<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>

		<title>Harper, pundits, &amp; democracy &#8211; oh my!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once and a while something happens in Canadian politics that's just so goddamn crazy that one can't but replace their comfortable numbness with burning shame. This shame, of course, stems from Prime Minister Harper’s recent prorogation of Parliament- a move so brazenly cynical that even Harper’s former chief of staff calls it ‘childish.’ When I first heard about it on the news, I mistakenly thought the newscaster said, ‘the Prime Minister has scuttled parliament so that the government can focus on watching the Olympics,’ which, though absurd, is far better than the final rationale of needing to ‘get important work done.’ ]]></description>

		<title>Iraq: a state divided &#8211; GPM Article &amp; Commentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Iraq is being interpreted as somewhat of a success story vis-a-vis the more apparent failure unfolding in Afghanistan. There is a kernel of truth to this- the Iraqi insurgency has ebbed and the new political infrastructure has taken a more comprehensive hold outside the capital of Baghdad. However, the overall sectarian situation within Iraq is [...]]]></description>

		<title>High noon at Copenhagen: GPM Article</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s this week&#8217;s situation report from GPM: 

Negotiations at the Copenhagen climate change summit have been long on drama and short on prospects for a feasible end result.
The task of putting together a successor to the Kyoto Protocol is nothing short of herculean. On one side, there are the developing countries who don’t want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ferguson: An empire at risk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Harvard&#8217;s Niall Ferguson wrote an interesting piece for Newsweek titled an empire at risk. His article touches down on several  scenarios that may come out of America&#8217;s massive deficit spending ($176 billion in October alone). According to Ferguson, as the federal budget is more and more encumbered by debt repayments, the first thing to [...]]]></description>
