		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge fan of our local newspaper here in Austin, The Austin American Statesman. However, I couldn&#8217;t tell you the last time I actually touched a newspaper. I&#8217;m skeeved out by newsprint. It comes off on your fingers and smudges and well, I&#8217;m a diva deep down, I suppose. Aside from that, I prefer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are not enough digits to express how far into debt we are as a nation. It&#8217;s true! In 1989, less than 20 years ago, a Manhattan real estate developer put up the National Debt Clock to call attention to what was then a $2.4 trillion debt. Sadly, he obviously never thought he&#8217;d need more [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m talking about clickjacking, a nasty little browser expolit that, according to Jeremiah Grossman, of WhiteHat Security, &#8220;&#8230;gives an attacker the ability to trick a user into clicking on something only barely or momentarily noticeable.
