Couch to 5k Day One: Well, damn. Now I’m tired.

And how dismal and senseless life can be without this liberation! There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. In the end such a man becomes impossible to get hold of, since he is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes, a decked-out...

Audience Member: Is Salman Rushdie's knighthood an insult to Muslims worldwide?
Baroness Shirley Williams: I think it was a mistake... This is a man who's deeply offended Muslims in a very powerful way, who has been protected by the British police against threats of suicide [attacks] for years and years at great expense to the taxpayer, and frankly I think it was not wise and not very clever to give him a knighthood.
Christopher Hitchens: I think that's a contemptible statement and I think everyone who applauded it should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Do you really think it's a waste of time and money defending free expression from suicide murderers? If you do, can you think of a better cause the money should go on? People who claim to be offended can by all means do so--it takes a lot to make me cry--but people who say, "I'm so offended I'm going to start suicide bombing in my country" have to be told, "No. We won't have talk of murder for the writing of novels."

Black Friday

aswadfahd: Only in America would people violently trample each other for discounts exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have. The concept of “thankful” seems to be a signalling exercise for most people. They’re not thankful, but they like people to think they are.
