		<description><![CDATA[Both videos brighten my Sunday morning. Both also raise a serious point about intellectual property related to SOPA. I think the first video is okay and deserves legal deference. The second video seems markedly less legit. I&#8217;d pay $1.50 for both. (Note added&#8211;the original &#8220;dualing&#8221; passes the google test but not the more careful dictionary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[...a prima facie case of chronic educational malpractice at Berkeley.  Apparently we have close to 3000 alumni who learned (from us?) that the most important thing they can do for Cal now is to buy a fifty-year football ticket for the price of a small house. 
....One might ask, so what if it does make money?  We could probably make a fortune with a modeling agency renting out good-looking undergraduates who got a custom-greased ride through their academics and beauty scholarships instead of pay; would that make it a good idea? It's about as mission-relevant as our football program.]]></description>

In fact, I&#8217;m pretty ambivalent about this; as Mark has pointed out here, museums are a better first date than almost anywhere and should be open many more evenings. Movies and shows [...]]]></description>
