		<description><![CDATA[Normally on Wednesdays I&#8217;ll write a preview of the Council meeting that night. Since tonight is the night before Thanksgiving, instead I&#8217;ll preview/review highlights of last week&#8217;s combined regular-session and committee-of-the-whole meeting. Among other things&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s true: I entered the Council Chambers after last week&#8217;s meeting began, and took my seat as an elected member of that august body&#8230;clad head-to-toe in a chicken suit, which I wore the entire meeting.
The photo&#8217;s caption: &#8220;Chicken Little? In observance of the Bloomington City Council‚Äôs discussion on an urban chicken ordinance, council member [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The portion of 7th Street just north of the Indiana University Auditorium (just west of Jordan Avenue) has been closed to all traffic for a couple of years now. It is being used as a staging area for construction trailers for new IU buildings.
The closure prevents buses from making shorter trips around campus. It also [...]]]></description>

Monday and Tuesday nights were four hours each, and we thought ourselves lucky to get away after that brief a period. Wednesday night&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Until early this morning, other states used to revolve around Indiana. The country changed its clocks twice a year; we didn&#8217;t because we were right on the time zone line geographically, and we&#8217;re a vertical state. After many years living without Daylight Saving Time, I grew fond of not having to change my clocks.
But no [...]]]></description>

But here&#8217;s my first article of any substance in the new year. It&#8217;s a guest column to Bloomington&#8217;s daily newspaper, the Herald-Times, about their tendency to editorialize and to trivialize local issues in their newshole.
