		<title>9/11 + 8: Remembering The Day The Earth Stood Still</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In early 2001, I began Semi Truths as a pseudonymous venue for my political satire. Tuesday nights were my night for writing, so I would spend much of the day in my pointless job thinking about what I would craft that evening. On Tuesday morning, September 11 2001, I met some co-workers for breakfast, then [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;I wonder what they&#8217;ll say, when they see their boy looking this way?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I last slept in my own bed the night of Saturday, August 1. The next day, I drove to Henderson NC to pick up my two youngest from summer camp, then on that Monday, drove us all to Duck NC for an Outer Banks vacation. On Friday, August 7, I bade goodbye to my family [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunrise, Sunset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have spent all of my life on the coasts; California through the 1980s, and the Atlantic coast since then. Moving from one coast to another, I immediately made two observations. One, we seem to have an innate sense of where the ocean is. When I moved from L.A. to New York, I kept getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where the Wind Goes Blowing Down the Plain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving across America, one gets a feel for how large and varied is our country. In Oklahoma, I soared through miles and miles of wind farms. I know that some communities have fought against these turbines, referring to them as &#8220;eye pollution&#8221; but I thought they were beautiful. I could have spent hours just watching [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Curse of the Stupid People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must be a bloody genius.
As immodest as that may sound, all the evidence points in that direction. The only rational conclusion I can reach is that, on a mean curve, I must be among the brilliant people on the planet because other people are so d*am stupid!
Case in point: I am staying at a [...]]]></description>

		<title>ELVIS = LIVES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1987, while driving from L.A. to my new life in New York, my dasboard power light started flashing shortly outside of Texas. I stopped at a garage in Alabama and they diagnosed that my alernator was failing. They also informed me that it would take them days to get that part for my VW [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smoky Mountain Dawn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In October of 1987, at the age of 26, I loaded a small U-Haul trailor with my boxes of books and comics, hitched it to the back of my ten-year-old VW Rabbit, and left Los Angeles for my new home in Brooklyn, New York.
For a week or two before my departure, Southern California had experienced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feeling like Bartleby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tested it all at home, before I left: using the iPhone Geotweet app, I could simultaneously post my location to Twitter, Facebook, and here on CitizenMcCord.com. You can see the successful tests below, but now that I have embarked on my actual road trip, the Geotweets are not posting. So I am forced to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Road Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a few weeks, I plan to drive my little Prius across the country (starting in North Carolina&#8217;s Outer Banks) to visit friends and family in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. In some ways, this will be a recreation of the drive I made in 1987 when I moved from L.A. to New York. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Enduring Legacy of Rock and Roll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Celebration has got me to thinking. In the history of popular rock in the 20th century &#8212; let us say from 1950 to 2000 &#8212; what will our great-grandchildren still be listening to an 100 years? And of those musicians, how many emerged after 1975?
Am [...]]]></description>
