		<title>The First Softbelly Inquisitr MTUB Poker Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Per the earlier post on a Melb poker night, I loved the idea so much we&#8217;re now sponsoring it.
32 people. We&#8217;ve gone from 9 to 18 today. If you&#8217;re in Melbourne, and have avoided MTUB, or are a regular, either way come down. It&#8217;s free, and there is free prizes for those who register. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>We will fight them on the beaches: Inquisitr Stats Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t done one of these in a long time.
The last I can recall (well&#8230; Google) was for May last year (link.)
In that time we suffered the great server problem of 2009 (it&#8217;s probably not completely unrelated that less than a month after the worst was over (and it went on for months) I lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sea Shepherd Fibs Again?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wikipedia:
&#8220;In warfare, ramming is a technique that was used in air, sea and land combat. The term originated from battering ram, a siege weapon used to bring down fortifications by hitting it with the force of the ram&#8217;s momentum&#8230;.&#8221;

No matter how many times I watch this video, I get the same result. The front of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is an Insurance Scam Racist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Age: Burned Indian faked attack to claim car insurance: police

And this follows the recent murder of an Indian man by other Indians. Both cases were cited in the Indian media as examples of Australian racism.
So is an insurance scam racist?
Side note: the funniest thing this morning was listening to the head of the Indian [...]]]></description>

		<title>The crucification of Tony Abbott Continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m the first to admit that I shook my head when news of Tony Abbott&#8217;s alleged claim about virginity surfaced during the week. 
It was claimed that Abbott said that women should remain virgins until marriage; if he believes that, fine (I don&#8217;t agree but he can believe what he wants,) but saying it out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apparently Chairs Cause Fatness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use to like Troy Buswell, but it was when I realised that he cared only about himself that I lost faith. Not saying I&#8217;m exactly skinny myself (but I&#8217;m only 10kg off my ideal weight now.) That said, the issue was with the ex: maybe I should forgive now, and accept he had good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Balance on the Indian Attack Stories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I may not agree with every conclusion, but some decent balance and some reasonably fair perspective. Warranted in the broader picture of the debate.
It&#8217;s simple: India doesn&#8217;t want to see its citizens harmed
In a few elegant words, Tharoor cut to the heart of the issue and it is worth quoting him in full: &#8221;For an [...]]]></description>

Daily Camera:
Denver schools&#8217; menu for Martin Luther King birthday hard for some to digest
Denver Public Schools apologized Tuesday for what it called a &#8220;well-intentioned but highly insensitive&#8221; attempt to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
