		<description><![CDATA[The sound-bites and superlatives have been flowing in the build-up to the swearing in of Barack Obama, but for once they&#8217;re entirely appropriate. Today is a historic day, as we wave goodbye to the most unpopular US president in history (See shardcore&#8217;s rather appropriate artistic response), and bring in a president-elect who represents so much to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chlorophyll is wonderful stuff. Here in Glasgow, the first flush of spring flowers has gone, but the blossom is in full swing, and the trees are that particularly fresh green, flush with chlorophyll. 

It&#8217;s a delight to see and experience, and really makes being outside special, especially with the lovely weather we&#8217;re having. I&#8217;m really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The US elections are proving absolutely fascinating after Hillary Clinton won the latest primary, and there are some top-class BBC journalists doing an excellent job reporting this interesting process to us Brits. 

Jon Snow, former ITN Washington correspondent (My review of his autobiography here), has charged over there the last week or so, and has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news currently coming out from Burma is concerning. The military government appears to be resorting to violence against the peaceful protests of the monks.

It&#8217;s clearly a developing situation, but I do hope that the Burmese people can find a way to the peaceful democracy they so clearly want. 

International pressure will be vital here, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Certain events over the last few years have left me feeling decidedly uneasy about the likely shape of geopolitics in the next few decades. Much of it centres around the increasingly brazen actions by Russia, which largely seem to be influenced by the availability of natural mineral resource.

I suppose it all started with the Ukrainian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I followed the build up to the Trident vote with interest. It&#8217;s a big issue up here in Scotland, with the main base from which the submarines sail here, and the forthcoming Scottish Parliament election here makes it a key election issue.

Also because, curiously, it&#8217;s a subject I&#8217;ve not really given enough thought to before.
