		<description><![CDATA[I was reading this blog entry from Dick Cavett about Palin&#8217;s abuse of language:
http://cavett.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/14/the-wild-wordsmith-of-wasilla/?em
It mostly made me feel ill, but I really liked the postscript, which introduced me to the word `Lagniappe&#8217;

		<description><![CDATA[I thought you grammar mavens might like an exercise: 
http://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/03/red-pencils-ready/
Probably too easy for y&#8217;all, but I like the notion of using specific examples from the Times&#8217; own pages.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi all,
Sorry for those whom I&#8217;ve already emailed about this, but I wanted to spread the word.  As you know, my father died of pancreatic cancer in August, just over two months after diagnosis.  On Saturday my family and I are doing a walk to benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.  I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>
