		<description><![CDATA[Paul Harris reads the cultural tea-leaves of current American Film and TV&#8217;s underlying relationship with the anxieties facing US culture today. Using the jarring Take Shelter as a jumping off point, and looking at the 50&#8242;s and 60&#8242;s nostalgia of shows like Mad Men, Harris ties it together in a bundle that will appeal to <a href='http://moishefriedman.com/2011/11/14/us-searches-for-a-cultural-response-to-economic-hardship-guardian/' class='excerpt-more'>[More...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was widely reported in the New York Times and elsewhere today that Blackberry maker RIM&#8216;s earnings report for the most recent quarter and earnings forecast going forward, were lower than expectations. I have to wonder, who is surprised by this? When was the last time you heard someone excited about a Blackberry?

		<description><![CDATA[I passed this today, another closing Blockbuster in one of the busiest neighborhoods in Manhattan.
