1. Republican Shit Sandwich
AKA, a Bush speech.

Also, I think it has a meaning related to the internet and news feeds, some sort of really simple syndication.

3. What browser are you using?
Firefox and Opera have built-in RSS readers that are fine if you have just a few RSS feeds.
If you have a lot of RSS feeds, you may want to use a seperate RSS feed reader.

Basically, an RSS feed is a url of a file that gets updated frequently (with news stories or blog entries etc), the RSS reader reads that file every few hours and displays it as a list of items, you click on the item (blog entry title or news story headline) and it shows the full article.

They are easy to use and convenient.

I get the BBC International News Headlines RSS (Real Simple Syndication) and it sends me the headlines and I can click them and read the stories if I wish. I get all the hottest news items. Everybody has them now. The only hard thing is sorting the wheat from the chaff!
