		<description><![CDATA[When Jesus and his brother, Santa Claus, were children, they constantly fought.  Santa resented the fact that Jesus had super powers, while Jesus simply didn&#039;t like his older sibling.  It didn&#039;t seem right to Jesus that a child would be constantly saying Ho Ho Ho, or talking in a strange, fake accent.  He didn&#039;t like <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/12/the-christmas-back-story/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I know I would, and I&#039;d cling to every last vestige of hope, no matter how remote.  Despite my usual insistence on rigorous thinking, I&#039;d abandon logic, reason and rationality if I thought there was <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/12/bad-science-bad-medicine-and-bad-faith/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For readers outside this town, let me explain what the Opera Centre is. It&#039;s a city block in Limerick which was bought by a developer who wanted to build some shops.  He came up with the name because a famous opera singer called Catherine Hayes was born in one of the houses.  The deal fell <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/12/what-should-be-done-with-the-opera-centre/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I asked this question a good while back and nobody came up with a satisfactory answer then, although it seems to have become a little clearer in the intervening few years that money these days is made up. <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/10/imaginary-money-equals-imaginary-debt/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

We can&#039;t have people playin&#039; like a man possessed.. His fellow judges indicate assent by banging their glasses on the counter.
