		<description><![CDATA[I’ve got a document imaging problem. I have this old scanner. It works, as far as I know. It’s over 12 years old. That’s the problem. Even though it works, It’s useless without an updated driver. Problem is, the company (Canon) stopped supporting the device five years ago so it won’t work with my Windows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shame the best weight loss pills on the market can&#8217;t trim the fat from the national debt. Seriously, the Repugs are pissing me off with there unwillingness to compromise. Seriously, how come the wealthy can skate on their debts, get all kinds of financial breaks, while those of us who are struggling keep getting kicked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read a report in The Guardian about Marvel killing off Spiderman. Gotta hand it to British reporters &#8212; that they can reveal the death of a major comic book hero icon as nonchalantly as a sale on  table tennis equipment is an amazing feat. Seriously, shit like this is why I stopped reading comic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was reading this story about debt collectors. Basically, debt collectors are whining because they don’t get any respect. I was as bemused by this as the reporter who wrote the article seemed to be. Having had my own run-ins with debt collectors I’m not sympathetic to their plight. I recall one [...]]]></description>

Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act? Huh? Yes, this is the current name of the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) bill that sprung from Congressional hearings on the subject a short time ago. Basically, it’s a bill that, should it become law, will make it legal [...]]]></description>
