I just discovered this site and within an hour I have immediately become it’s most devoted fan. Bethany is going to start syndicating my Every Hall of Famer project here, much to my humble delight. Regardless, her infographics and scoresheets and quote and book reviews (and and and) are not to be missed!

I don’t care much about football itself, but listening to sports radio in the car on the way to the vet’s office this morning (Irwin is fine; he has a UTI and is on antibiotics that should make him better) I was really surprised and frustrated by how widespread the “he’s not tough enough” criticism of Cutler seemed to be.

making things from scratch
whiskey fueled contemplation of my obsession with reducing things back to their first steps and starting there: like making bread when i want a sandwich, or insisting on attempting homemade egg roll wrappers instead of just buying the ones at the store (that particular mistake i will never make again), or how i have to this day never owned a store bought halloween costume. and i want to take it...
Today's Krugman is a must-read →
benbrown:
One side of American politics considers the modern welfare state — a private-enterprise economy, but one in which society’s winners are taxed to pay for a social safety net — morally superior to the capitalism red in tooth and claw we had before the New Deal.

2011, so far
- Too many acute fits of sentimentality and nostalgia, but what else is new?

- Pretty girls inside the wonderful bubble of liquor and giggles

- Summer Wars! Which was awesome and you should find it and watch it.
- Constantly striving to become someone you’re...
