		<description><![CDATA[Chris Handman&#8217;s New York Times crossword The theme was okay, but something about this puzzle held me at arm&#8217;s length. Just wasn&#8217;t getting into any sort of groove with it. Some of it was fill like ENIAC, EEE, SMEE, REPIN, and ADAIR pushing me away, and some of it was just not parsing the clues.

		<description><![CDATA[Crossword Fiend commenter Bananarchy, a.k.a. Peter Broda, has a new puzzle blog called Cross Nerd. He&#8217;s constructing crosswords over there, both themed and mini-themeless (11&#215;11? 11&#215;13? Why not?), all in the Onion A.V. Club vein (i.e., be prepared for salty language).
