		<description><![CDATA[A. N. Wilson has been writting cobblers for years. What disturbs me now is that The New York Times seems to be willing to pay him to write cobblers in its pages. Over at Tom Hamilton&#8217;s place there&#8217;s some more nonsense from&#160;Wilson. While you&#8217;re at Davos Newbies, I also recommend that you read the proprietor&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
