		<description><![CDATA[Check out Abstract Politics , a new site dedicated to reviewing the latest in political science research. Dozens of new articles are published in every issue of the top journals. It&#8217;s hard to keep up with them. The creators of Abstract Politics intend to write brief summaries (and critical reviews) of each new article.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking lately about what thinking people know. After all, I regularly read comments on various websites to the effect that &#8220;thinking people know&#8221; this or that.
There&#8217;s a problem. I rarely agree with what the commenter claims &#8220;thinking people know.&#8221; I am forced to the only logical conclusion: I am not a thinking person.

		<description><![CDATA[Okay boys and girls, the word of the day is conclusory. Say it together: conclusory.
Now, conclusory is a funny word. These days, most people use it when what they really mean is &#8220;conclusive.&#8221; That&#8217;s not the meaning I&#8217;m attaching to the word. I&#8217;m using the meaning given in Merriam-Webster&#8217;s Dictionary of Law:

		<description><![CDATA[Hmm, something isn&#8217;t quite right. I taped an interview with Hillary on CNN, and while watching a segment frame-by-frame, I noticed that Hillary&#8217;s face completely changed for 1/100 second, then it changed again, and again, for a total of four flash changes.
