		ix: state of the site nine years in, the state of the site is solid by joe procopio (@jproco) topic: pop culture 9.1.08 • CLASSIC

I'm not going to lie to you. I wrote this column last night, the night before publication. But first, I spent an entire month dreading the prospect, then I just plain put it off, then I watched something like 12 episodes in a row of How It's Made. Now I'm noticeably smarter and also somehow more Canadian. So I ask you to trust me, I will make a point, and a good one, that is tangentially related to the topic of why it's IMPORTANT TO YOU (those three words being the hallmark of Intrepid Media read on

		*good uck, chuck** i don't want to be chuck lorre, but i wouldn't complain if it happened by adam kraemer (@DryWryBred) topic: television 11.9.07 • CLASSIC

Without going into detail (I'm saving that for the book), my life has changed a whole lot in the last two months. As compared to, say, six months ago, I have a new job, I'm living alone for the first time in my life, and -- most importantly -- I'm feeling pretty good about myself. Life -- knock on wood -- seems to be moving in the right direction. I'm pretty happy to be me. Which hasn't always been the case. (I can actually picture my mom reading this right now, thinking, "No, don't tell them read on

		american dream 2.0 what we have in common makes all the difference by tracey l. kelley (@TraceyLKelley) topic: news 4.29.11 • CLASSIC

I recently attended a presentation of a consumer research company about the proverbial state of the union. The company surveyed thousands of people and analyzed their opinions regarding the status of the economic environment and whether we, the people, still believe in the American dream. The answers? Dismal and, um, no, not so much. The majority of this information was presented for the sake of advertising and marketing, but there’s an undercurrent of the basic human condition that offers fa read on

		will 'obamacare' make your doctor quit? or, did u.s. doctors take the hypocritical oath? by jeffrey d. walker topic: news 4.18.11 • CLASSIC

Reports suggest that between 40% and 45% of our nation's doctors are planning to either quit or downscale their medical practices because of "Obamacare." Of course, some reports have edged that up to 74%: I think it's funny that Fox news presented the most liberal interpretation of this story. That's irony. But despite the reports, I still don't believe it. Seriously? A legislative change is going to make 40% + of a whole workforce voluntarily quit? Few people (doctors included) can r read on

		observations about women... what they'll say that you'll never understand that they said and what they really meant, etc. by maigen thomas (@Maigen) topic: pop culture 5.15.06 • CLASSIC

You women know you're crazy, just admit it. I include my own crazy self in that statement, too, for the record. But also for the record, I'd like to introduce a few phrases that women use -- when they really mean something else. "She's Really Nice, You'll Love Her" Beware of the saleswoman who starts the pitch with this phrase. I am guilty of using something along these lines before, myself. And we all know what that phrase really translates to. She may have a great personality, a terrif read on
