Jim Newell · 10/06/11 02:57PM

Hank William Jr. has had it with the political correctness of the Hitler-ish ESPN sports television corporation.

Steve Jobs Was Not God

Hamilton Nolan · 10/06/11 01:10PM

Adrian Chen · 10/06/11 12:09PM

While American society has traditionally eschewed the practice of setting elderly people adrift on floating chunks of ice, we have embraced the next best thing: sequestering old people in their own buildings, communities, or suburbs, and ignoring them completely.
