For those of you who haven’t seen yet - I finally dumped the old glasses and haircut.

PS:The fold on my cuff in that picture is driving me nuts.

PPS: My closet needs organization. Badly.

Ten months before the general election, the increasingly angry, suspicious, and divided party of Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, and Perry seems ever more immersed in its current orthodoxies. None of the candidates, though, seem the least bit interested in even addressing how they, or their party, might actually govern the “whole people” of a fractious nation.

SLAM YOUR FACE ON THE KEYBOARD: About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn’t know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

I can't believe The Great Adderall Shortage is real.

moorehn:

Props to fek.

spiers:

Wherein the Times, Reuters and Slate discover The Big Adderall Shortage, seven months after Foster wrote about it. (Maybe no one had the attention span to notice till now?)

I was going to reblog this with a rant about chronic over-prescription for non-indicated symptoms being a larger problem, but evidence from several studies in the last ten years (including one as far back as 1998 from the JAMA) indicate I’m wrong.

Let's start paying college athletes.:

Or: the myth of the “student athlete” and how college athletics are either money-makers or wanna-be money makers at US colleges and universities.

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.” — John (Fire) Lame Deer, Sioux Lakota, 1903-1976.
