That Tuesday Morning in September..
I went to bed last night thinking today was going to be a very difficult day. In a very strange way, I’m happy I was right.
I remember bits and pieces from when I was that young. I remember UCLA basketball games and Dodger games. I remember a few birthdays. I remember chunks of Elementary School. In terms of news, I remember the day Clinton was re-elected. I remember listening to radio news...

How Los Angeles Lost Its Mojo
By: Joel Kotkin
Los Angeles today is a city in secular decline. Its current political leadership seems determined to turn the sprawling capitalist dynamo into a faux New York. But they are more likely to leave behind a dense, government-dominated, bankrupt, dysfunctional, Athens by the Pacific.
The greatness of Los Angeles stemmed from its willingness to be different. Unlike Chicago or Denver...

fantastic weekend in D.C., and really became a lot more comfortable with how well I know the city. Now I need to reconsider post-college plans.

So you guys woke up this morning and decided you wanted to be a news organization?

Economy or Israel: Which is bringing down Obama's... →
Here, you can get a sense of the problem with voting American Jews or the American Jewish psyche in general (Here is the link to the survey). The key problem is in the second paragraph:
“That tracks with American Jewish Committee polling that for years has shown Jewish voters consistently prioritize the economy over Israel when they enter the polling booth. In a poll last fall that showed...

This is my life:
Random friend who shall rename nameless: “Why didn’t Captain America come out on July 4th? I mean, really, what were the extra 18 days for?”

same segment, an ESPN anchor talked about how great it was taking his kid to the ballpark for the first time, segwayed into how the kid who’s father died at the Rangers game must be feeling right now, then talked about the possibility of Josh Hamilton relapsing because of the tragic event.

Jobs Data Dim Recovery Hopes →
Good news for Republicans in the debt talks; bad news for just about everyone else.
We’ll see what happens when second quarter GDP is released later this month, but the last two months would indicate it may be worse than the first quarter. I’m not ready to say we’ve turned into Europe just yet, but the likelihood of a double-dip recession is increasing, and jobs reports like these cement the...

I just..
finished watching Josh Hamilton’s 2008 HR derby performance on ESPN.
I remember the first half of that season pretty vividly (and the entirety of his tremendous season, for that matter), and I remember how great a comeback story it was. And I remember watching him in that HR derby, and the feelings that emanated from his performance. From watching a guy who had been through so much, who had...

Two thoughts:
-A potential $7 billion valuation and Jack Dorsey sitting with the President doing a Twitter town hall? Good couple days for Twitter.
Oh, and $7 BILLION?!?!
-Great idea for Facebook to combine with Skype……..and Microsoft still egregiously overpaid.
