On Saving Summer's Trashiest Cocktail: Make Way For The $21 Long Island Ice Tea

It's about 1000 times more shameful to order a "horseradish-infused Absolut vodka mixed with green apple juice, carbonated, and served on draft with a slice of apple that has been sliced on a meat slicer and compressed in a vacuum bag with Campari" than it is to order a LI iced tea.

And it's about 1000 times more shameful to serve an "Applethy" than to order one.

On My Dark Night Of The Sole

For the price of a couple of fillings you can buy a pair of very high quality Allen Edmonds or Alden shoes with Goodyear welt construction that are fully refurbishable. Properly cared for, shoes like these will last for decades. The may not be as "fashion forward" as the shoes pictured here, but for shoes that last damn near a lifetime, time-tested classic designs are the way to go.

No need to really jump all the way from $79 to bespoke prices unless your feet are very, very hard to fit.

On Not Gonna Lie, I Had To Google Loïc Prigent

For grown men not engaged in playing our national pastime, wearing a baseball cap is very rarely appropriate and it never looks good.

On Will God and the Founding Fathers Help Obama Stop Climate Change?

@ Bart Miller @twitter

I have been around for 43 years. It's silly to draw any conclusions about "gravity" based on only 1 minute of falling out of an airplane.

On Is San Francisco The Brooklyn To Silicon Valley's Unbuilt Manhattan?

@hershmire

I'm no urban planner, but I'd say zoning restrictions are the major impediment to building denser communities.

For SoCal's baby seal population, this does not come as good news.
