		<title>OK, Now He&#8217;s Just Piling On! George Orwell on American coloured comic books, Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;On the front page there is a picture of of what is either an ape-like lunatic, or an actual ape dressed up as a man, strangling a woman so realistically that her tongue is sticking four inches out of her mouth.&#8221;
Here is the splash page (left) that George Orwell is referring to from Hangman Comics [...]]]></description>

		<title>George Orwell knocks American Comic Books Again, Nov. 22, 1946</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;. . .and platinum blondes are raped, or very nearly, by steel robots and fifty-foot dinosaurs?&#8221;
George Orwell had already trashed American comic books, a year earlier, as filled with &#8220;Magic and Sadism&#8221;.  Now he&#8217;s back to take another swing at the funny books. Ah, lay off, George, you big English bully! But much as he seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wasabi-scented Smoke Alarm for the Deaf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a Japanese product that initially sounds weird but actually makes a lot of sense: a smoke alarm for the deaf with an alert that&#8217;s based on smell.

		<title>The Day Jazz Died in Harlem? &#8211; New York Times book review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Some people still scratch their heads, for example, about why jazz in Harlem went off the boil. The answer is more than 60 years old, and Fletcher tells the story well: It was the Police Department’s temporary closing of the Savoy in 1943, and the subsequent Harlem riots that year — ignited by a white [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Treatment Options for Dogs with Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Katie Drummond reports on AOL News that a gene for obsessive-compulsive disorder may have been located in certain dog breeds.
My initial reactions are these: 1.) The concept that a gene &#8220;causes&#8221; a behavior is, at best, an over-simplification (see Richard Dawkins, et. al). So Ms. Drummond&#8217;s lede follows the incorrect pattern of most science writing [...]]]></description>

		<title>James Arthur Ray &#8220;Spiritual Warrior&#8221; and promoter of &#8220;Practical Mysticism&#8221; Arrested and Charged in 3 Deaths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve written about James Arthur Ray previously here and should add that our disgust for this class of New Age hucksters and con-men (and women) knows no bounds. We&#8217;re glad that criminal charges have been filed.
