		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t forget that today is election day. And it may be one of the most important elections ever, because for the first time we have a chance to change the entire system.
Yes, I&#8217;m talking about the referendum on whether to switch to a Mixed-Member Proportional system. I can&#8217;t bein to count the number of times [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s all very well, except that it&#8217;s not actually any sort of a grassroots group, it&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

According to a study recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics, the latest crop of baby educational videos, like Baby Einstein and Brainy Baby, not only don&#8217;t help kids learn but actually slow their learning. Every hour spent watching TV or videos &#8212; of any kind, even education ones &#8212; resulted [...]]]></description>

Lesbian hammerhead shark moms! Well, all right, maybe not lesbian. But there is a baby hammerhead with three moms and no dad in a Nebraska zoo, apparently conceived parthenogenetically.
In an interesting bout of synchronicity, this comes just as I&#8217;ve lately been rediscovering Shriekback, a band one of [...]]]></description>
