Got glum looks because you love watching Glee, which broadcasts on the evil empire called Fox?  You’ve been C-A’d.  Someone subjected you to what Andrew Potter calls “conspicuous authenticity.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I went to a Green Jobs Fair sponsored by the Los Angeles Community College District.  I figured it would be a good opportunity to network and meet companies; after all, few people actually get a job through such an event, so I went for the heck of it, with zero expectations.  Unfortunately, my expectations [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You've probably heard of the term "greenwashing":  slapping labels such as organic, natural, sustainable, free range, etc., which leads us to think this product is good for us.  It's easy to fall into the trap, and well, as consumer trends change, businesses try to adapt.  But now it appears your favorite companies are going to [...]]]></description>
