		<description><![CDATA[[UPDATE: Edited to use the version of the body text that actually makes some sense with the originally posted&#160;title.] I&#8217;m not that old, so I&#8217;m often puzzled by people who make historical pronouncements in ignorance of recent, relevant history, sometimes history that happened within their lifetimes but not mine. Of course, as Catholic dogma would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a long time, PooterGeek&#8217;s homepage has been decorated with a school photo of me shot in, I think, 1979. I&#8217;ve taken the sensible advice of one of my readers and moved it. It&#8217;s still here, but on the &#8220;About&#8221; page where it doesn&#8217;t unbalance the new site&#160;design. The original print from which the image [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like me, Clive Davis is a product of one of those godless unions of black and white, but, because I am an expert on the conspiracy of sinister media Jews, when I took his byline photo I offered to make him look more Jewish in order to help his career. Now see what&#8217;s happened. I [...]]]></description>

Oh, you must be one of the Swiss then. Phew. You looked a bit British at first glance. No offence, right, but you Caucasians are a bit difficult to tell apart&#8212;&#8216;cept the&#160;gingas.

(Exactly as I didn&#8217;t with Peter Cook&#8217;s book back here, I am going to divine without reading it that Klein&#8217;s book will be rubbish.)
