On How To Share Your Good News With Friends

These are all very solid points and I, too, need to keep #9 in mind. I wonder if there could also be an addendum, something to the effect of "being genuinely happy for the success of others is an awesome feeling. And also makes sharing your own successes a little less awkward." Wordy but also, I think, true.

On Meet the Lawyer Who Defends Everything Retrograde

Eager to take work wherever it comes, eh? I guess now that all the wrongly accused are off death row and all of civil liberties have been staunchly defended it's really hard to find a case.

On Occupy Wall Street is Only Going to Get More Contentious

@Clarence Rosario Nationally, households in the top 1% had a minimum income of $513,633 in 2010. In NYC the top 1% of households made $3.7 million last year. Where things start to get really crazy is the disparity in net worth. In 2009 the top 1% had, on average, almost $14 million in net worth. The bottom 80% had an average net worth of $62,900.

I took all of these numbers from the Wonkblog post this morning. http://wapo.st/nDA6bB

On Consumers of PBS' Free Products Furious About Brief Ads

I work for a PBS show and I, too, was put off by the ads. But here's the funny thing about PBS programing is that it still cost money to produce and with membership giving at somewhat less than robust levels that money quite simply has to come from somewhere. Perhaps a more productive solution would be to begin a campaign to demand other sources for funding of public media: a TV tax, ending corporate welfare, a bake sale? But until we come up with a solution at least PBS has figured out someway, however uncomfortable it might make us feel, to keep it's programing on-line and free for everyone to access.
