		<description><![CDATA[The average person&#8217;s left hand does 56% of the typing. As was said in some diatribe from some muse who is probably no longer alive, &#8220;That&#8217;s it&#8230; I&#8217;m done!&#8221; Or, in the words of Porky Pig, &#8220;Th-th-th-that&#8217;s all folks!&#8221; Just don&#8217;t have the drive or desire anymore.

		<title>What do the words &#8220;Auld Lang Syne&#8221; really mean?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 2011&#8230; It&#8217;s time for that age old tradition of finding out what new California vehicle laws went into effect and how they will affect you.

		<title>So if BARACK OBAMA is our 44th president&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why have there only been 43 presidents?
