Go, ponies, go! Which noble steed will stand tall and proud, draped in a blanket of roses, posing for pictures in the winner&#8217;s circle at Churchill [...]]]></description>

A UFO spotted, and videotaped, above Mexico is according to investigators some sort of flying humanoid figure:

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so sick of the disgustingly rich. It&#8217;s hard not to be bitter in this sucky economy&#8230; Jay-Z just signed a 10-year contract with Live Nation worth $150 mil: a chunk of stock, $5 million per year for &#8220;overhead,&#8221; $25 million for acquisitions and investments, $10 million an album (for a three-album deal), and $20 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here in rural Chico, we don&#8217;t have clever advertisements. We laugh at cute little innuendos on our billboards like &#8220;Want a quickie countertop replacement?&#8221; or &#8220;Get back in the kitchen&#8230; [bitch]&#8221;. Chico business owners typically don&#8217;t know what makes for effective advertising and more times than not, we&#8217;re told to apply the &#8220;logo-enlargement cream&#8221; to [...]]]></description>

White Men Can&#8217;t Jump, but a recent report shows Black Kids Can&#8217;t Swim:
Nearly 60 percent of African-American children can&#8217;t swim, almost twice the figure for white children, according to a first-of-its-kind survey.
