I'm afraid of who the third would be.
Both Patrice O’Neal and Christopher Hitchens have died within the past month. I know this is an odd pairing, but these were two of the most brilliant thinkers that I had the pleasure of encountering. Patrice for his knowledge of the common world; Hitchens for his knowledge of the complex. Their insights and passion were honestly some of the most genuine instances of human intellect that...

“Rabble, rabble, rabble. Fox News is evil! Rabble, rabble, rabble.” Now that we’ve gotten that out the way, I want to express my appreciation for the show Red Eye and more specifically, Andy Levy.

This is already in the running for my favorite story of the entire election.  Lines like this make it a must read exposé: They said he vomited in their backyard and scared their daughter.

Paul Krugman’s lead-in line after Joseph Lieberman voted against the healthcare bill on December 17, 2009. A message to progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy. Am I sensing...
