		<description><![CDATA[I was actually just checking Bloglines for feeds with an early analysis of what the Indianapolis win might mean to the San Diego Chargers, but I saw that there was a new post at Reasons Unbeknownst, which is always an interesting read, and I saw Kirk mentioning Barry Goldwater. So I&#8217;m using the coincidence to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m watching the HBO documentary Hacking Democracy. Anyone who votes in the US should watch this program. It should be required viewing for election officials. I&#8217;ve been seeing concerns expressed about the security of electronic voting machines for a long time in various security forums. But this documentary blew me away.
