		<description><![CDATA[From the RadioLIVE website: A paper, published in Psychological Science, claims that people with ring-wing views tend to be less intelligent than those on the left. It claims that people of lower-intelligence tend towards right-wing views as they make them feel &#8216;safe&#8217;. &#8230;. Children on the study were assessed for innate intelligence aged 10 or [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s astonishing how much wisdom about the big issues of life he expressed over the years — and with such eloquence and elegance of thought. Thinking about the decades of protest at Waitangi, and the enormous progress towards reconciliation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yup, I&#8217;m a fan (and a fashion victim?) and, of course, immediately bought Leonard Cohen&#8217;s new album Old Ideas. I&#8217;d been waiting, as noted. It&#8217;s good. I notice today it is #1 on iTunes. That&#8217;s remarkable, given his longevity and the time in the wilderness and the shallow &#8216;music to slash your wrists by&#8217; blurb.

Here&#8217;s a profile from The Guardian&#8216;s Decca Aitkenhead Louise Mensch: &#8216;We&#8217;re not all ogres&#8217; which is very interesting for similar reasons, and more&#8230; We were still swooning at her brio when rioting broke out across Britain and she made [...]]]></description>

Ya reckon? How to say something without really saying anything or committing yourself. Shoot me (joke) if I write something so equivocal. Please.

Good on him. I&#8217;ve been listening to his music all summer in my car. More here: Leonard [...]]]></description>
