We have a gigantic TV on in the office pretty much all the time, and while that can be handy sometimes, more often than not it’s distracting and annoying.
Sometimes you see something that makes you wish you were paying closer attention to the tv, however, and that happened to me just a few minutes ago. [...]
So, I’m an intern. This might make me thoroughly unqualified for giving any kind of resume advice, but I’ve never been one to ignore an opportunity to expound on subjects about which I know nothing.
The organization for which I’m interning this summer, The Center for Independent Media, is a progressive media group. We have a [...]
I don’t understand this moral outrage people feel about the rising cost of gas. The Declaration of Independence does not say we have the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and cheap gas. That’s not the way it works. That’s not the way capitalism works.
I’ll admit that I might be biased. I sold [...]
I don’t write much about personal finance, mostly because I still don’t really feel that I have any idea what I’m talking about. It is a topic I’m very interested in, however, as you can tell by the sheer number of PF blogs on my blogroll.

I think the thing that most concerns me about the election thus far is the 28 percent of Clinton backers who say they’d vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination. (Not to be outdone, 19 percent of Obama backers say they would vote for McCain if Clinton won the nomination.) After eight years of [...]

I joined LinkedIn on his suggestion right after I was hired, and recently I’ve been getting a number of invitations for Naymz. I got another invite today, and I decided to talk to the HR woman about [...]
I’m really frustrated by creationists. Not only are they lying to their children, they’re taking so much of the joy of the natural world away from kids right when they should be reveling in it. Watch this video and try not to get absolutely irate.
Fossils are boring? Fossils are boring?! I remember when I was [...]
BF is reading a book called Call of the Mall, by Paco Underhill, which examines the “geography of shopping.” I haven’t read it yet, but BF was reading parts out loud to me this afternoon. In one part, the author was describing how useful it would be for stores to install benches or comfy [...]
I’m still not entirely sure what to make of this blog-should it be all politics, all the time? Should it be a merging of all the things I’m interested in, not only politics, but feminism, personal finance, books, travel, cats, cookings, etc, etc, etc? Sometimes I think I need to fill a niche in order [...]
