		<title>Going Rouge: Sarah Palin and Similar Book Covers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, that&#8217;s not a typo. Alaska&#8217;s most famous airhead Sarah Palin will have some competition when her memoir Going Rogue: An American Life is aborted into bookstores November 17th.
The Nation&#8217;s editors Richard Kim and Betsy Reed have rounded up an army of writers who have contributed essays on the mavericky ...

		<title>Chronic Pottymouth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing like blazing up some sticky icky, jumping into your lowrider, and driving through the doors of perception to, where else? That&#8217;s right! THE MUTHAFUCKIN&#8217; CPT!
The year was 1992, and the one and only Dr. Dre had just unleashed his debut studio album, The Chronic, upon a trembling nation. ...

		<title>Radiohead&#8217;s Most Depressing Song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We may roll our eyes at Muse's latest bombast or Coldplay's pussyrock du jour, but Radiohead has largely escaped the pungent smell of artifice that clings to most melodramatic musical acts.

The band survives this scrutiny with music that can be frightening in its sincerity.

But out of all of the 'Head's gloomy tunes, could one actually stand out as the gloomiest? Yes! and frontman Thom Yorke singles out Street Spirit (Fade Out) from the album The Bends for this honor.

		<title>The Longest Poem in the World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twitter has become a phenomenal  way for people to stay in touch.
Famous personalities, from d-list losers all the way up to the president himself take advantage of this medium to gab, jaw and shoot the shit about anything and everything&#8230;in 140 characters or less of course.
Inevitably, Twitter has also become ...

		<title>Is Megan Fox a Bitch? or &#8220;Value Perceptions and Photoshop&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A photo has been circulating around the internets lately that is equal parts hilarious and tragic. Tragicomic, if you will. It show the uberhöt Megan Fox hurrying along on her way somewhere&#8211; no doubt to be seen and thought of as hot by one or more observers. But what&#8217;s this ...

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike a moody rockstar who trashes his hotel room and is always demanding, Waldo asks only for a handful of birdseed and that the newspaper in his cage be changed at regular intervals before he's once again back on stage, ready to "rawk". Clearly, for this bird, it is all about the music.

		<title>Poop at Work!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s be honest. The average worker isn&#8217;t working every minute he&#8217;s on the job. He does take legitimate breaks, but he also stares off into space, shuffles papers around to appear productive, and has an occasional rubber band shootout with a rival department.
But in any case, a company usually pays ...
