		<description><![CDATA[Lynn Lempel&#8217;s New York Times crossword The last theme entry I filled in was 25a, and it actually made me laugh out loud.

		<description><![CDATA[Mike Nothnagel&#8217;s New York Times crossword — pannonica&#8217;s review Chewy, crunchy, nom-nom. Lots of long fill, lots of fresh fill, lots of tricky clues.
