		<title>The EU discovers yet another human right!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Times of London:

		<title>It&#8217;s all subjective&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jonathan Springston, a senior reporter for the Atlanta Progressive News, was fired from the online news service because, according to an email from the site&#8217;s editor to Creative Loafing magazine, Springston

		<description><![CDATA[You think the Euro-Nannies are bad? The Australian Government, looking out for citizens, is now regulating breast size in porn:

		<title>Your Penis is Shaped Like a Boomerang</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not, that&#8217;s not an insult from a tribe of nomadic Central Asian shepherds, or a song from the late night Cable TV edition of Sesame Street.

Nearly two pounds of still-green plant material found in a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert has just been identified as the world&#8217;s oldest marijuana stash, according to a paper in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany.

		<title>National Poetry</title>
