I had a big, giant revelation last week. I’d been thinking about my passion and my life’s calling ‘n’ stuff, and it led me to think of what I would LOVE to do every day, and I think it’s a completely different direction than I’ve moved in so far.

Thomas Friedman:
The most striking feature of Barack Obama’s campaign for the presidency was the amazing, young, Internet-enabled, grass-roots movement he mobilized to get elected. The most striking feature of Obama’s presidency a year later is how thoroughly that movement has disappeared.
In part, it disappeared because the Obama team let it disappear, as Obama moved to pass what was...

1. A Democratic congressman walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve your kind here.” The Democratic congressman whimpers, “You’re right, I’m sorry, I never should’ve come in here, it’s all my fault, boo-hoo, please, bend me over, I’ll do whatever you want because I’m a little punk.” The bartender says, “Jesus Christ, you people are pathetic.”

Night Siphoning

travors:
Squeezing as much “you time” as you possibly can out of the night time, so you don’t go to bed, because this tends to lead to waking up and going to your crappy job.
Side effects: Acute morning-after grogginess, followed by unproductive day of dim-wittedness and bumping into things.
Possible solution: Quitting said job and finding one you like.
Cool, there’s a...
