There are so many of those examples of dreck out there that it is time to move on to new and fertile ground of meaningless, self-pitying wails over just about nothing.  Good job.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bleed</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/210606.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Aug 2007 03:53:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:210606</guid><dc:creator>aimlesswanderer</dc:creator><slash:comments>4</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/210606.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=3000063&amp;PostID=210606</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Nothing on tv,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing to read.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Think I'll slit my wrists&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And watch them bleed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
