		<description><![CDATA[Once again I lament the lack of proportion among many of us. When asked to make a choice, it appears to me that we always choose the bling over the blood. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett are dead&#8211;no great reason for joy there. But also no great reason for wall to wall media coverage and [...]]]></description>
