		<title>F**k You NPR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Obama is once again inviting people on the internet to send in questions, this time via YouTube, which he will then select from and answer.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to post every day on Agnosiophobia, and no less than every third day over here. I got nothing at the moment (due in part to working a bunch of overtime).
