&lt;strong&gt;Inception. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;in 30 Seconds.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty accurate, except fewer of the cast members are one Asian guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, possibly the best movie ever made. Very possibly.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/848136654</link><guid>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/848136654</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jul 2010 00:38:42 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Harriet Tubman: The Sexiest Abolitionist

&lt;p&gt;I saw the arch! It’s easily one of my top 5 arches of all time. And two of those belong to McDonalds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Damn. Let’s just let Joe Biden handle all the speeches from now on. This is exactly the level of indignation Spike Lee demands! As well as all those people who had something or other to yabber about it. Ted Kennedy may be gone, but his brand of fiery Democratic ideology remains. Equality over liberty. Sounds almost anachronistic. But there it is, sitting in the office of Vice President of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joe Biden is the Goddamn Man.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/716555736</link><guid>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/716555736</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:42:36 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>You just witnessed a murder and the murderer witnessed you witnessing the murder. It was very very scary, trust me. But guess what? Now you are being forced into the Witness Protection Program! (It's all very "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" unfortunately.) You definitely don't get to choose where you're going but the agents assigned to your case feel bad for you so they are going to let you choose your own name for your new identity. What name are you going to choose?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;This is probably my favorite thing that someone question-boxed at me. Questions like this are why the question box exists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, this is probably the hardest question.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are so many things that I could do. I think I would choose something like: Chaz Murderwitness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know it sounds like a terrible idea, but it’s like hiding in plane sight! It would be SO obvious that the murderer would be like, “No way. No one is that stupid. It must not be him.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or, alternatively, Apollo. No last name.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/691562570</link><guid>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/691562570</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:10:04 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>David Mitchell tells you how you’re fucking up the English...</title><description>&lt;object width="400" height="336"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/om7O0MFkmpw&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/om7O0MFkmpw&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;David Mitchell tells you how you’re fucking up the English language.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/684067129</link><guid>http://ryanmerriam.com/post/684067129</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jun 2010 12:37:36 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>jonah ray: FOSTER A DOG FOR JUST A COUPLE WEEKS!!!!</title><description>&lt;a href="http://jonahray.tumblr.com/post/674604336/foster-a-dog-for-just-a-couple-weeks"&gt;jonah ray: FOSTER A DOG FOR JUST A COUPLE WEEKS!!!!&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://daveholmes.tumblr.com/post/674647125"&gt;daveholmes&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
