		<description><![CDATA[Unny asked me to figure out how many Indian origin people living in the US are vegetarians. I can&#8217;t find any research about it, so it gets to be a fun exercise in assumptions.  First of all, I&#8217;m throwing out the exact definitions and just saying some sort of vague lacto-ovo (or more) vegetarian.
So here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow I start a 3 1/2 day meditation retreat.  No talking, reading, writing, checking my email.  
&#8220;There will be meditation instruction, periods of sitting meditation alternating with walking meditation, talks by the teacher, group interviews with the teacher, guided mindful-movement sessions, and  chanting.
There is usually time after each meal for work or [...]]]></description>

This guy tries to do a quick analysis of why more people think Obama is a Muslim, which is horribly flawed, but inadvertently he analyzes Pew data to come to a really remarkable finding.  Amongst Republicans, the increase in thinking Obama is a Muslim has been HIGHER amongst people that have at least some college, [...]]]></description>
