25 Things Every Man Should Be Able To Do
I really, really hate “50 things a man should be able to do” lists, and the latest one I’ve seen, which was posted at First Things is no exception.
Part of it, I admit, is that I can’t do any of these things. Well, I can do like 5. So either I’m totally inadequate as a man (possible) or the list is pointless.
It’s also annoying, because you figure that people...
The Problem With Cosmotarians
My friend Greg Newburn, one of the funniest people I know, has a really good post on his blog regarding “cosmotarians,” or libertarians who make a big point of being “citizens of the world” detached from base, low-class inclinations like “patriotism,” “country,” or whatnot.
The inciting incident actually took place a couple of weeks ago, after the...
Whoa, when’d they get rid of Tumblarity?

St Vincent's Closes Hospital In Manhattan →
jayparkinsonmd:
In 2006, the system was losing approximately $10 million per month. I don’t know how much bloat they have cut since but I would doubt it would do much to combat their ever expanding finance costs on what the NYT reports is now $700 million in debt. Because of inefficiencies in the design of the hospital both from a layout and operational perspective, about 40% of people who...

Someone should remix a Ghostbusters trailer
dogsareadorable:
so it looks like a Michael Moore-esque documentary about the monopoly of privatizing the supernatural sector, and the environmental protection agency that is trying to stop it.

What do you call it when you write a blog post around a preconceived ideology? Tyler Cowen.
I don’t really Tumbl anymore, but I thought I’d come back to say that you’re a repetitive bore.
But really, glad that nothing’s changed.
Watchbrookieoftheyear:
I came across this Post Secret video today, which consists of people confessing their inner most secrets, video diary style. Unlike the site where the confessions are completely anonymous, those in this video are spilling their guts right in front of the camera. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that one of these people was my husband. Yes, I watched this entire video...

Why did Shepard Fairey lie? →

Shepard Fairey says he lied to his attorneys and destroyed evidence about which photo he used to create the Obama hope poster.
When he sued the AP in February (after they’d claimed he’d violated their copyright), he said he’d used a photo of Obama sitting next to George Clooney at the National Press Club — the first one here. The AP claimed he used another image from the same event — a...
