		<description><![CDATA[George Bush has long been opposed to timetables for withdrawal from Iraq. So when prime minister Nouri al-Maliki started pointedly looking at the clock and asking whether American troops didn&#8217;t have a plane to catch, obviously Bush couldn&#8217;t just set a timetable for withdrawal. However,

President Bush and Iraq&#8217;s prime minister have agreed to set a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WFTV has the story.

Basically, Webster Cook, the U. Central Florida student who
precipitated this whole mess, is filing charges against the church,
because the university&#8217;s rules on hazing prohibit the &#8220;forced
consumption of any food&#8221;. I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s not what the rule was
intended for, but hey.

Just in passing, I think one thing bears repeating: as far as I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One question that had been bugging me for a while is, how does one
input a character in Emacs, given its Unicode hex code?

Answer: use the ucs input method, then use
uHHHH to input, where HHHH is the character&#8217;s
hex code.

Unfortunately, it doesn&#8217;t look as though there&#8217;s a way to input a
character by its decimal code.

Also, C-\ toggles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It occurred to me that humorists and magicians have something in
common: they both rely heavily on misdirection.

Disclaimer: I&#8217;m neither a magician nor a comedian (as you can tell from my
previous post)
so I may not know what I&#8217;m talking about.

Magicians use misdirection in their tricks, to draw the audience&#8217;s eye
away from the card being palmed, or [...]]]></description>

Answer: define a mapping from coffee to tea, thus reducing the problem to a previous joke.
