Technically, his wife Kelly had the baby.  (She did the work, so I’m giving her the credit.)  Matt did help out a little:  he caught little Isabelle as she emerged [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to college! You and your new roommate will get along splendidly and soon be the closest of friends, unless he snores, in which case you&#8217;ll have to kill him.

Just like William Safire or Robert Novak, I do this by taking on controversial topics including abortion, the role of religion in politics and cat poop. I didn&#8217;t realize the last one was contentious until a few weeks ago, when I wrote a column suggesting, [...]]]></description>
