		<description><![CDATA[I think you&#039;re more important than you ever were before.  Not that you weren&#039;t important.  But you&#039;re a symbol of what&#039;s wrong with our government.  That can&#039;t be near as much pressure as you&#039;ve already face.  Keep going kid.  Kick it in the &quot;N&quot; cosy....  Speek about how you were disenfranchised while millions like you need the knowledge you have to offer.  I know you&#039;ll be bigger than ever.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Dp-I used to maintain a blog called Herding Cats.  I ran out of time/steam, so it is in hiatus for the moment.  I still follow your blog and wanted to let you know that my next post will be...*drumroll, please*...Santo Domingo (I&#039;ll be in CONS). Would it be possible to get in touch with you via email to ask some questions?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SDO is nice, sometimes.  I&#039;m not sure I&#039;d come back.  The pollution is awful, traffic is crazy, and customer service in general is minimal.  But the country outside of Santo Domingo is absolutely breathtaking.  If you get out of the city frequently enough, this post rocks.

Please take my opinions with huge grains of salt, as I&#039;m nearing the end of my time here and am ready for re-patriation.  Check out blogs The B-Files and For Lack of Tacos and all the numerous post reports on talesmag.com for a more well-rounded group of opinions.]]></description>
