If Brett Easton Ellis wrote a scene about me going jogging but forgetting my headphones in the first-person present tense, it would be this:
“…That’s a pretty boat…I’m so fucking tired! I hate this!… Shut up, fatty… It’s Saturday! Who works out on Saturday?… Shut up… Wouldn’t you rather have a drink? Let’s have a whiskey and...

“I’d asked him last year to write a letter to the Immigration Services sponsoring me to finally become a permanent resident of the United States. Who better than my fellow Englishman immigrant of the last twenty-five years? A while later, he emailed:

Uhm... pardon?
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — California and New York are again targeting high-wage earners to address a continuing fiscal crisis and pressure from the Occupy Wall Street movement.
… The common threads are continuing serious fiscal problems and Democratic governors pressured by their progressive bases.

This:
Naomi Wolf did harm to the progressive movement with that screed, because she aligned with the extreme right wing in the name of the Occupy movement. It isn’t the first time she pretends to be progressive while echoing right wing tropes. She called the President Hitler’s equal. She demanded rape victims expose their identities in order to level an accusation of rape, all for the sake of...

Luxury tax
• 2005 CBA: Teams paid $1 for every $1 their salary was above the luxury-tax threshold.
• 2011 CBA: Teams pay $1 for every $1 their salary is above the luxury-tax threshold in 2011-12 and 2012-13. Starting in 2012-13, teams pay an incremental tax that increases with every $5...
Andrew Sullivan in a nutshell
I certainly don’t have profound knowledge of the deep research of experts in the field. But since the Bell Curve contretemps, I have kept up a little with some in the field who sympathize with my own position on this.

Ex-McCain Sociopath Nicolle Wallace’s novel about a crazy VP candidate, It’s Classified, sounds like something I would normally very much like to read. But… I… can’t.
The main character is named “Tara Myers,” and it’s just such a terrible name that i can’t imagine reading a book that would presumably say it dozens and dozens of times.

Jackie Bouvier writes a Dear John letter:
“I’ve always thought of being in love as being willing to do anything for the other person — starve to buy them bread and not mind living in Siberia with them — and I’ve always thought that every minute away from them would be hell — so looking at it that way I guess I’m not in love with you.”

My Lakers lost to Dallas.
The last time we lost a series- in 2008 to Boston- I took it very poorly, indeed, and went on a six week long bender. Though I’m not going to do that this time- that 2008 one proved unforgivingly disastrous!- know that temperance is taking all the self-control God has allowed me.
I haven’t accepted it yet really is the thing though; still in shock! I mean,...
