		<description><![CDATA[In a surprising policy shift for the Obama administration, the President refused to place blame on the prior president and stated that, in this isolated instance, former President Bush had &#8220;nothing to do with&#8221; a significant development in the War on Terror &#8211; the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. &#8220;I have reviewed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, the AP reports that although people who view 3-D television report the experience as being better than they expected, they doubt they would want one because it might interfere with their ability to &#8230; not watch TV: &#8220;Aside from the cost of buying 3-D sets at a time the technology is just becoming available, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, for a wonderful demonstration that evil&#8217;s face can be pretty pudgy, take a look at this short video from an academic conference at UC San Diego. A student whose appearance is otherwise unremarkable (except for the fact that she&#8217;s a walking &#8220;Glamour Don&#8217;t&#8221;) lets her mask slip, just for a second, to expose something [...]]]></description>

Look, maybe I&#8217;m just too steeped in this world-takeover stuff (any day now, by the way!), but you&#8217;d think the so-called &#8220;experts&#8221; would have learned how to take precautions against a robot revolt. But no, apparently not. For example, when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So apparently some researchers wanted to study the effects that pornography has on the male psyche. Naturally, in order to do so, they wanted to compare their study group of naughty-video-watchers with a &#8220;control group&#8221; of pure, never-saw-the-stuff young males. The problem? The researchers discovered that their control group was what statisticians call a &#8220;null [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am desperately searching for someone who can infect me with the swine flu. That might seem counterintuitive; after all, there are all sorts of hysterical predictions about the danger of the swine flu pandemic, and people have indeed died from it. But what the authorities aren&#8217;t really advertising is that if this swine flu [...]]]></description>
