		<description><![CDATA[On the surface, District 9 is just a really good movie about aliens. But look a tiny bit deeper, and it’s a hugely political film about discrimination, poverty, bureaucracy, and xenophobia. I think almost everything thought up by humans, whether it’s books, movies, television shows, or this very blog post, inevitably absorbs and releases some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a new show called &#8220;Huge&#8221; on ABC Family. It&#8217;s about overweight teens going to a fat camp. There is one girl especially who would rather not be there. She loves how she looks and doesn&#8217;t want to change just because the media shows all those skinny girls. I haven&#8217;t watched the show but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lebron James’ departure from Cleveland was pretty monumental. It was also really telling about the state of our media and us. News shows devoted tons of time to speculating on where he’d go, when in reality, the people speaking had no idea. The reason for all this attention was simply that media outlets function to [...]]]></description>

Teens used to love her. I know I did. Who didn’t love Lindsay and her cute red hair? Now all you see about her is her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bike most places, and usually it’s a great way to get around. Admittedly, you can get pretty sweaty, but for most events there’s a way to make things work. The worst part, though, is the weird misconceptions drivers have about bikers. Many drivers assume that because they’ve encountered merely one reckless biker in the [...]]]></description>

Count me in. Most of all, I really want a pedicure. I can deal with my hands &#8211; they’re perfectly located for grooming. But my feet- my feet are [...]]]></description>

During their run through the season and playoffs, more and more Chicagoans got into hockey. By the time their plane landed [...]]]></description>

This year, a big story line is that, for the first time ever, the World Cup will be held on the African continent. It’s being held in South Africa, no less, which was an apartheid-enforcing country as recently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Juneteenth comes from the combination of &#8216;june&#8217; and &#8216;nineteenth&#8217; which is the date it is celebrated on. Perhaps this may seem a relatively foreign date to many of us compared to commercialized holidays such as Christmas, New Years, Valentine&#8217;s Day, etc. but it is a relatively important date. It was first observed in Texas by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Flag Day is traditionally celebrated during the week of June 14th, National Flag Week. Personally, I don&#8217;t celebrate it and I barely notice it being celebrated in my neighborhood though I guess there must be some people out there who celebrate it. It was originally to celebrate the adoption of the flag, which, apparently no [...]]]></description>
