		<description><![CDATA[Conservative blogger and author of the book 7 Myths of Working Mothers, Susan Venker, has written a follow-up post to her previous entry on liberal media biased in publishing. In this entry, she whines about how mainstream publishers don&#8217;t want to publish books by conservatives. To prove her thesis, she cites Michelle Malkin and Ann [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[some douchebag muscle-bound meathead gets up in your face and ruins your workout at the gym? That&#8217;s what&#8217;s been happening to me lately. There&#8217;s this guy I see at the gym who bugs the shit out of me. I&#8217;m not by nature the most sociable person anyway. In my private life, I&#8217;m kind of shy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been saying for years that eBook prices are too high — a position I reiterated during the whole Kindle/Macmillan/iPad debacle.
The position of the publishing industry and the bestselling authors they publish is that the current digital book market devalues their creations and Amazon is the chief baddie in this scenario. Well, black hat or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was surfing the blogosphere this morning and came across this post entitled &#34;Publishing Bias — Part I&#34; which is about — you guessed it — how media is biased against right-wingers. This is an old argument — one which Faux News has based its entire existence upon. The author of this piece, a Susan [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I was in Walmart yesterday. I went there to buy some socks, but took the scenic route to the Men&#8217;s Department. I stopped in electronics to ask the saleswoman when Sims 3: World Adventures would arrive in the store. I then did a little window shopping — checking out an LCD HDTV I&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>
