		<description><![CDATA[

AI ain't ever gonna use an outhouse, but Dolly Parton used one. That was
back in the days when living "off the grid" wasn't a moral decision, but
just meant that the grid didn't give a damn about where you were, and
you couldn't afford it if it ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[The Song of the Whip]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Way back there in the 1700s and the 1800s, the British conquered a big
chunk of the world thanks to their navy, which was crewed by
whip-scarred, toothless, unwilling sailors with untreated syphilis.

That's who you want to fight your wars. No ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Aging With Snoop]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I'm 69 years old and I have a Snoop Dogg T-shirt, a black one.

On the front of the shirt is Snoop's picture in black and white. He has
a mustache and goatee and braids in his hair. His eyes are half-closed.
Maybe he was sleepy when they took ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

They took them from us, the employee handbook, it and a bunch of stupid
laws about harassment and hostile workplaces.

They took the words, all the good words, all the words that let you know
who the hell was in charge, which was white people, ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

"How many people said the word 'cigarettes' today?" I asked my wife,
Deborah.

"Or 'book of matches,'" she said.

We were trying to figure out how America ended up with a net loss in
words spoken.

		<description><![CDATA[

My cat, Jack the Cat, is looking a little worn.

He's 11 years old, and he's diabetic, and he was getting two shots of
insulin a day, but he went into remission and there was great joy in the
house.

Still, we keep an eye on him. In the last few...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Writers are weird people, and we start out as weird kids.

I was a weird kid. Worse yet, my family moved quite a bit, so I was
often the weird new kid.

Our last long jump of a move was from Baltimore to a suburb of Kansas
City, Missouri. Before...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

So, Belgium is cool now? Scotland's cool? What next? Everyone starts
trying to act Algerian?

Cool is supposed to be American territory. Vietnamese workers might be
making sneakers at lightning speed for $1 a day, but who designs the
sneakers? ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[The Fall of Vicksburg]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[

When I was 19, I knew a much older man who'd grown up in 1930s Alabama.

"We didn't celebrate the Fourth of July," he told me. "For us, it was
the day Vicksburg fell."

Vicksburg, Mississippi, fell to Union troops on July 4, 1863. The

		<description><![CDATA[

I mowed the lawn the other day.

Well, I kind of mowed the lawn. I missed a lot of spots, and I didn't
weedwack the borders or trim the shrubbery.

Mostly, I sat on the front steps and drank beer. I drank eight beers, if
you wanna count. I say ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

OK, so I'm a small-timer.

This column runs in some papers around the country, but I'm not the most
popular columnist this syndicate employs. I've written a few books, but
none of them have been bestsellers. I've been nominated for the Pulitzer

I don't fix things.

I'm a man. I don't fix things.

I pay people to fix things, is what I do.

In general, the people I pay to fix things do not fix the thing on the
first try.

Being unable to fix things on the first try doesn't hurt your

"If you're trying to decide what to do, and you only have two choices,
do the thing that's hardest," my pop used to tell me. "The right thing
is always the hardest thing."

Which is how Scott Pelley got canned off "60 Minutes," a television news...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>
