Scientists are on top of it, let me tell you. They have surmised that college students are clueless about many of the mundane tasks involved in responsible adulthood. Well, blow my bloomers off! Study: Most College Students Lack Skills By BEN FELLER AP Education Writer WASHINGTON — Nearing a diploma, most college students cannot handle many complex but common tasks, from understanding credit card offers to comparing the cost per ounce of food. Those are…
Some stray coding has popped up and made itself visible in IE and Firefox. I don’t see the same thing in Safari at home. And I have briefly looked through the template code to see if I could find the culprit, to no avail. So if any of you html wizzes out there get a spare moment, why don’tcha look at my source code and see if you can find what the hell is causing…
I have loved I Blame the Patriarchy from the day Aunt B instructed her readers to leap links and take a gander. And now, she of Twisty Faster fame has written something so perfect in its snarkalicious sincerity that I can only pass it along to you (using my new blockquote format, by the way) in the hopes that it will make your chest swell with pride as it did mine: As I was saying,…
I just ate a turkey/cheddar/cracker Lunchables and I instantly feel the need to barf.
Andrew Sullivan was on The Colbert Report tonight and I thought he was utterly charming and cordial and downright jolly about things. And I just want to say I love the way his site is laid out now. Far superior to the nonsense he had going on before.
It snowed for about seven minutes today. Everyone at work got on the phone and called other people in town to ask if it was snowing where they were. I had a good time this weekend.

An all-around success. I even…
My company is looking for a designer (editorial copy, not ads). Read the SND listing here, then whip your resume into shape, wow the suits, and come sit by me.
Continuing my previous James Frey post, I just want to say this: “FTBSITTTD” is the dumbest tattoo I have ever heard of, even if it stands for some kind of bad-ass mantra. Don’t care. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Which is why I’m glad it actually stands for Forgetting to Brush Slowly Is The Trail (to) Tooth Decay,” since Frey is apparently a dental hygiene nut. Yeah, I don’t really care if it’s true or not. I…
I am the last person on earth to weigh in on this James Frey crapola, which, for whatever reason, has incited a widespread outrage he likes of which I cannot recall ever witnessing before. I just want to remind everyone that we’re talking about an author who fudged the details of a memoir.
