I wasn’t familiar with Missouri Democratic Congressional representative Emanuel Cleaver II before, but I definitely want to follow him now. Especially if he keeps on making some gem statements like this tweet in reaction to the imminent, and controversial, debt-crisis resolution. “[It's] a sugar-coated Satan sandwich. If you lift the bun, you will not like [...]
Talk about news to wake up to… kind of breath-taking, actually.
Kind of charming to see the e-how format for showing how to get a perch in political service. Next up? How to make that perfect pie crust. Boston City Council seats up for grabs By Don Seiffert/Wicked Local correspondent Wicked Local Roslindale Posted Apr 25, 2011 @ 08:00 AM Roslindale/West Roxbury — Hate your day [...]
What an absolute tragedy and unfolding crisis. Historic earthquake, tsunamis and fears of nuclear meltdowns at affected, coastal reactors. Made all the more personal through continual updates from former high school classmates R and E, relaying news, sending pictures, and asking for prayers, assistance, community.

…is straight amazing.
Wow. This one reads just like a piece from the Onion. Favorite quotes? That the experiment opened “gazillions of questions” for its team of Israeli researchers (that’s a whole lot of questions, friends!) and the recognition that human tears are now in the “raunchier family of fluids.” Cool. Women’s tears may send a sexual message [...]
Now here is a teacher I’d like to meet. Teaching by example, no doubt, and absolutely an inspiration. Though I have to disagree with her final quote in the story. Not ‘just a teacher’… Bravo. A Russian woman stands, alone, for her rights By Kathy Lally Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, January 5, 2011; 4:35 [...]
Yep. I had a McRib meal from McDonalds the other day. That Brian Goodman (quoted in the excellent piece below) has it just right. Time to go out and try the McRib for yourselves, people! Make it to the end of the article, and you’ll find a bonus haiku from that same extraordinary man whose [...]
Okay, so going all the way with the Groupon buys may be a little extreme, but it sure makes for good reading. In any case, I’m definitely a fan of the more moderated experience with the short term gym membership (admittedly, an excellent deal) and some vouchers I recently bought for 1/2 price meals at [...]
Will Always Love You, Commodore 64
Just saw that Jack Tramiel, the man behind the Commodore 64 computers, passed away recently. Man. Talk about the best video game memories as a kid— with that rigid joy stick and orange ‘mash’ button and those 5.5 inch floppy disks. And the games. Summer and winter games, Bruce Lee where I always got frozen [...]
