		<description><![CDATA[After it came to pass that CNBC analyst Rick Santelli's seemingly spontaneous tirade on the floor of the Chicago Commodities Exchange, calling for a Chicago Tea Party and lambasting the President's plan to bailout homeowners was anything but spontaneous and was in fact part of a viral marketing campaign instituted by some of Conservatism's most nefarious powers-that-be, CNBC's already tenuous grasp on respectability was loosened significantly if not completely erased]]></description>

Real Question: Does anybody find earbuds at all comfortable? I just put a new pair into my head and it&#8217;s just a shade less than excruciating. Whoever invented these things is a misanthrope hellbent on the destruction of comfort.
