		<description><![CDATA[Not all feathers are created equal.  It&#8217;s unfortunate, but it&#8217;s true.  You go to the craft store, looking to feather your cap with some amazing, lush plumage, and you find yourself confronted with an array of vacuum sealed ostrich plumes straight out of Flatland.  So, what can you do? Here&#8217;s a really amazingly crap feather. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world is full of straw hats. They are almost never the size and shape you&#8217;d like them to be. (That&#8217;s a known effect of the Law of Universal Irony, along with how the thread already in the needle is never a color that will work for your current purposes.)
