First off, what is it like being naked on stage?
I think everybody in the ensemble would agree that baby wipes are essential. This isn’t my first time being naked on stage, but being naked in Untitled Feminist Show feels different. I have no props or words to draw attention away from the loadedness of my junk while I’m trying to be myself, which is a pretty masculine. So it’s...

– The Jonathan Chait one looks like it will be equally fascinating. Except I don’t have time to read the whole thing right now.

First Kosher Butcher in America

This is a big step for the Jews, having their own butcher and all!
We’ll try...

Warren Buffett's Secretary Likely Makes Between... →

Joe the Plumber’d.
So? I’d be surprised if Warren Buffet didn’t pay his secretary that much, she’s privy to a lot of sensitive information and is probably very loyal. Good secretaries to CEOs are frequently well paid. He still makes WAAAAAY more than her, so I think the comparison about tax rates is valid.

whineandbeer:
How do we protest? How do we live without it? I think it would be interesting, as an experiment, to go radically off Google’s grid. For me that would involve getting rid of my phone and almost all current internet involvement. I’d have to change my email address and link all my online accounts to…

I met Ellie Cachette in a very odd context one day, and her company kind of sounds fantastic.

This is awesome. As I’ve mentioned here before, contraception is not my #1 reason for taking BC, but rather so that I can have a functioning reproductive system. So it burns me up that the co-pay is so much, as if it’s not as important as other types of prescriptions. This will save me...
