guys, i think i can take generation-y's bullies
a gen-xer's take

5.17.12

A friend gave me something to think about recently when she asked: “Are kids just wimps these days, or is society just that much crueler now?” We were talking about bullying and how kids these days just don't deal with adversity the same way we did, particularly when it comes to bullying. Look at all the teen suicides making the news, sometimes by kids still in the single-digit age bracket, all because of bullying. It's disturbing.

open letter to mitt romney - what you need to do to win

I am a 37 year old registered Republican living in New York State. I am also the chief political correspondant and commentator for Intrepid Media. We might not be a large outfit that you are familiar with, but don't judge us by our underexposure - judge after considering the following suggestions about your upcoming election.

To sum it all up, Governor, if you want to win, you need to be the Mitt Romney you used to be.

This past weekend, I was forced to make one of the hardest decisions any of us will ever have to make in our lifetimes.

I had to delete about 100 songs from my mp3 player.

Well, that's not entirely true. I had to replace my mp3 player (a Sony), which died on Friday, and it turned out that the new one, while technically holding the same capacity as the old one (8 gigs), held about 100 fewer songs. I think this is because the new player is bluetooth compatible while the old one was not, but it could also be because the universe occasionally likes to laugh at me.

Within the space of half-a-season, The Office has devolved from an honestly funny and relatable workplace comedy to a ridiculous circus of unbelievable setups and dick jokes.

Rule #2: Don’t mention animated history movies. Bad enough dealing with an ordinary movie distorting history. I have gradually despaired over showing anything in class, save for the PBS or History Channel documentary.
