		<description><![CDATA[The Devil’s Dictionary – 21st century edition In 1911, American writer Ambrose Bierce published &#8220;The Devil&#8217;s Dictionary.&#8221; Bierce claims it began it in 1881. It was made up of words reinterpreted by Bierce, &#8220;&#8230; lampooning cant and political doublespeak,&#8221; as Wikipedia puts it. Generally, I don’t like the trite negativism of things that are cynical. [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s easy: they&#8217;re all the things you have to do when what you really want to do is something else. They&#8217;re things like your job, [...]]]></description>
