GOOD.
SHIT.

I just looked up old New York Times articles from 1967-1970 about student protestors, to see how they were covered at the time.
What stood out the most was how similar everything was to today— even more than I expected. We all know about major incidents like Kent State or the 1968 Democratic convention, but there were all these articles about smaller, everyday protests. And so many...

If the point of college is to get a good job, maybe colleges should drop the pretense of education, ditch the gen-ed requirements aimed at creating well-rounded and knowledgeable citizens, and focus explicitly on being job training.
If the point of college is to get an education, maybe everybody should stop viewing college as a way to get jobs.
If the point of college...
A Brief Rundown of the GOP Presidential Candidates
I’ve been pretty quiet on the GOP race, for the most part, but a few people have asked my about my take on the race so I figured I’d post it up. I’m covering the people included in the debates, so Buddy Roemer and Gary Johnson will just need to accept that.
Michelle Bachmann - The best compliment I can give her is that while she’s probably a very nice woman, she’s...

Cain-Gingrich Debate Lincoln Douglas Style →
While almost everyone reading this is at odds politically with both Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich, they did a 90 minute 2-person debate in Texas. Talk about a breath of fresh air! They’re talking about problems for 15 or 20 minutes at a time. It’s a much more engaging presentation of the candidates and their platforms.

I went to confession tonight and reading this was my penance.

One thing that I think alienates me from modern Catholicism is that it seems to be a very, very different religion than the one described by Christ. I really like the radical Christianity Natalie is into,...
Pretty Much Killing It
The last 3 meals I’ve eaten have been Mexican food.
The guy at the deli recognized me while buying beer. He thinks he overcharged me for Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA, but promises he’ll get me back if it turns out he was wrong.
I bought a Sonic the Hedgehog game. I then played it for 3 hours. I’m nearly 27.
I threw my back out falling into the toilet with seat up and trying...
The Rage of the Almost-Elite →
The people at the We Are the 99% blog didn’t choose this; they expected something different. They didn’t see it coming. Yes, yes, maybe they were naive about the possibilities of a fulfilling and secure life in the field of non-profit environmental management. Probably they should not have sunk tens of thousands of dollars into acquiring a BFA. But these mistakes didn’t...
