I often hold onto links I intend to blog about, but there are always a few that I don’t get to and are a bit stale.
- Most Political Action Committees, or PACs, spend over 60% of the money they raise to party with lobbyists and raise more money.
- People don’t mind being unemployed as much if they have unemployed friends (This isn’t surprising–you see it with obesity, too). However, this makes them less likely to look for another job (or attempt to lose weight).
- John McIntyre, whom I perpetually confuse with John McEnroe, is back at the Sun: “‘My father,’ she said, looking me up and down, ‘wore a seersucker suit and a boater in the summertime too.’ [Pause.] ‘Of course, he was born in 1898.’”
- I just started re-watching Breaking Bad, with hopes of getting caught up before the season ends, so here’s an interview with series creator Vince Gilligan. On main character Walter White: “A guy who would…become a criminal—perhaps has more on his mind than simply making money for his family.”
- A theory of why it’s good to be a single man in DC.
