		<title>Would Raid work on Shelob?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably not. Shelob was altogether too mean and much too smart to be more than extra annoyed by a measly can of Raid. Or even twenty cans. But how about Spiderman? Hmm.]]></description>

		<title>The importance of being Ernie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Miriam has a funny post. It&#8217;s a &#8220;what if&#8221; about the face on a thousand thingies that&#8217;s so ubiquitous nowadays nobody notices it any more. What if the Left&#8217;s favorite Commie thug Che had been plain old Ernie Guevara?]]></description>

		<title>Banned in Iran</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, those crafty Mullahs, ever on the watch-out for the 12th Man, uh, Imam, have spied out the nefarious rabbi father of Krusty the Clown and banned the very dolls created from the Simpsons. But you know who they really fear? Maggie. The one with the gun. It&#8217;s the Second Amendment thing, you see, what gave [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mooch ain&#8217;t the only moocher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mooch, as some call the ever-vacationing Michelle Obama&#8212;the first First Lady in my memory with a penchant for expensive hotels and fancy restaurants on the taxpayer&#8217;s tab, is merely following a national trend for living on other people&#8217;s money. Ours, says a new book reviewed by the Instapundit, is a nation of moochers. &#8220;In today’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mrs. Charm is the television consumer at the rancho. Unless you count Mr. Boy&#8217;s periodic consumption of Sponge Bob. Her fave Roku show these days is Mad Men, a soaper return to the early 1960s urban advertising game, with lots of skinny ties, incessant smoking and martini lunches. Also the girdled wives and girlfriends, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time to grow up, Newt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[VDH has it so right with this advice for Gingrich to stop with the whining: &#8220;&#8230;stop the accusations now, turn attention away from himself, stop complaining about the mechanics of the race, stick with critiquing Obama, and at least seem a good sport when he loses.&#8221; &#8216;Cause it&#8217;s pretty obvious that he&#8217;s not going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>You will pay for abortions, like it or not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not that my paying for them, via tax money, really bothers me much, though I think they&#8217;ve become a form of birth control for a lot of uneducated and/or irresponsible women. But, really, why should people who don&#8217;t believe in abortion have to pay for them? I suppose for the same reason people who don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>The badge gang is very touchy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The badge gang may wear their surnames on their chests, or, at least, they used to. But woe unto anyone who dares take their picture in the, cough, performance of their duties. (Much less the consumption of their donuts.) Fortunately there are lots of out-of-work lawyers these days just waiting to sue, and more and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The emperor has no clothes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not a big surprise, but still worth a read. &#8220;The only president to ever need a teleprompter to handle a press conference — so his staff could feed him the answers&#8230;&#8221; Via Instapundit.]]></description>

		<title>Fiddle frustrations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the guest experts on my violinlab video lessons the other day summed up what I&#8217;m discovering about this complex musical instrument after just about eight weeks&#8212;something to the effect that, even if you began at about age five, life wouldn&#8217;t be long enough to learn everything there is to know about the fiddle.
