From the NYTimes:
Experts who work with veterans say it often takes several years after leaving military service for veterans’ accumulating problems to push them into the streets. But some aid workers say the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans appear to be turning up sooner than the Vietnam veterans did.

I think I was suposed to read the piece on farm subsidies
One of my professors gave me a practice exercise for the GRE (because...so many seniors are taking them this semester) and they recommend you read the opinion section of the New York Times to know supporting details to bring into the essays (which kind of speaks to the Northeastern bias of the tests).

Al Gore: Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Seriously, all the man needs is a Tony and he'll have won, like, everything. Draft Gore for a cameo appearance in Hairspray? -
If this was how Americans played their football, I'd SO watch....
Witness the New Zealand "All Blacks" opening "Haka" dance against France. So intense! And so awesome!
And, do you notice the big angry/smug bearded French guy in the middle looking for all the world like he could kick every kiwi's ass? His name is Sebastien Chabal, aka Seabass aka Attila aka Someone Who is Big and Very Scary and if you see him ( Read more... ) -

During the YouTube debate, some weirdo showed everyone his huge-ass assault rifle and asked what the candidates would do to keep his "baby" safe. Biden said immediately:
"If that's his baby, he needs help."
Word. And also, he wants to keep his assault rifle safe? My mind is blown.
In summation, Hillary totally owned the debate tonight, much to my -
An honest appraisal
I am tired, angry, elated, a little disappointed, sad, weary and jubilant.
More coherence when my stomach stops clenching and re-clenching in significantly fast bursts...How can I possibly go back to MCAT prep when I can barely think? -
An Open Letter to the World
PLEASE STOP TRYING TO RUIN HARRY POTTER FOR ME. Seriously, even having the New York Times as my homepage has gotten to be dangerous. I don't remember it ever being so difficult to avoid people telling me the plots of these books ( Read more... )
