– Things I Ate That I Love: Shitloads of Money
It’s really simple. I paid $2.22 and a Justin Wolfe thing showed up in my inbox this morning and made me happy. Buy it or don’t buy it, just don’t act like this is something you get to be mad about.

Rob Ford’s stupid and offensive radio show demeans us all
“I’m going to try to be as fair about this as possible,” declared Menzies, before proceeding to be incredibly unfair for the rest of his remaining airtime. He started with a prolonged ode to Ford’s commendable volunteer work – his football team – and then noted that the mayor has to be very careful to protect himself from stalkers,...

– The New Yorker - Expletives Not Deleted
My initial gut reaction to Veep is described very well here. I’m sure they will find a way to make it work, but all I keep thinking is that I would rather be watching season 4 of The Thick of It.

“Ethical standards are fragile enough in politics. Too many partisans view it as war by other means, exaggerating the stakes in order to justify their behaviour to themselves. In the case of the federal Conservatives, that predisposition to expediency is overlaid with a swaggering, bullying style, yet one that betrays a deep insecurity: the insecurity of a party that, for good reasons...

Good lord. The Todd Glass WTF interview is beautiful and heartbreaking. This is a perspective on coming out that nobody gives these days, and it should be required listening for every person in America. Get on board.

the worst
I can hardly wait until I get to see some girl in yoga pants and uggs carrying a fucking Ayn Rand inspired bag around.

Act Eight, The Greatest Dog Name in the World. Yes we have the true story of its origin years ago. And exclusive, told by two brothers, one who’s 12, one who’s 13.
Brother 1

Brother 2
