		<description><![CDATA[Anderson Cooper has always rubbed me the wrong way.  Yes, I know he changed his last name so he could &#8216;rise from the ashes&#8217; without the aid of his previous powerful name &#8211; but what irks me is his projected sensationalism &#8211; his &#8220;whoa is me&#8221; persona he leverages at every opportunity.

One of the small silver linings of being stuck in Lansing has been occasional dinners at the Knight Cap.  The KC is a great, small, dark, hole-in-the-wall restaurant with excellent service and wine selections.
During one of these recent dinners, much [...]]]></description>
