I am officially a huge fan of Month thanks to the piece in the New Yorker.
Modern American Men are Not Pre-Adult They're Post...
When men are accused of being pre-adult and not “manning up,” most of us saw our dads (and moms) “manning down” in divorce.
Never mentioned as a cause for us to say, “marriage, hell no!”
Some pre-adult men choose Xbox, but all my friends choose travel, work, passion, the arts, their businesses, and lots and lots of hopeful dating; however, many of us who...

Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass: Behold This Swarthy...
Behold this swarthy face, these gray eyes,
This beard, the white wool unclipt upon my neck,
My brown hands and the silent manner of me without charm;
Yet comes one a Manhattanese and ever at parting kisses me lightly
on the lips with robust love,
And I on the crossing of the street or on the ship’s deck give a
kiss in return,
We observe that salute of American comrades land...

People I Have Invited to Facebook and My Impact →
This is a very interesting screen I almost never check out that Facebook is willing to show you — I have invited 181 people to explore Facebook for the first time. I find it enlessly…
The Daily is Offering a Very Generous Free... →
Because there have been some hiccups along the way, it looks like the folks behind The Daily — the iPad-only news magazine — are offering a generous free trial extension.
She was lovely. “@JulianEdward: old, a man, and judge by appearances?”
Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass; Cities of Orgies
City of orgies, walks and joys,
City whom that I have lived and sung in your midst will one day make
Not the pageants of you, not your shifting tableaus, your
spectacles, repay me,
Not the interminable rows of your houses, nor the ships at the wharves,
Nor the processions in the streets, nor the bright windows with
goods in them,
Nor to converse with learn’d persons, or bear...

One of the benefits of being 40 is that I can remember Reagan and his posse with the same, “we’ll never pay down this deficit, it will be the inheritance of our children and grand children” and then Clinton vanquished it until George W grew it up again to where it was in 2008, also having saddled us with at least a 2-front war that we cannot discuss because it is a “third...
Americas Need to Rebuild Our Own Community...
Someone on Facebook stated that there’s currently too much government and that Americans need less government intervention. The argument? “We need communities back.”
Well, sorry, I say, the requires better parenting and local behavior. Communities gave away their power — ceded it to television and video games.
You can’t just pray to God for better community life...
The Bachelor's Degree is the New High School...
Not just public school kids are semi-literate and under-educated — many from private and home schools can’t or don’t choose a 4-year college or university and then go on to graduate school. A BA or BS is the new high school diploma and the MS, MA, JD, MD, and MBA are the new BA and BS. The Associates degree is basically a high school do-over or, at best, a baccalaureate degree,...
What About Cutting Defense Spending?
When it comes to slashing debt and reducing the deficity, it is poison to elect a man who gladly slashes social budgets without even touching defense and intelligence’s carte blanche.
Can’t even get an unlocked iPhone in the US, can you? “@moldor: iPhone4 in Australia is around $1200 unlocked.”
Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass; Trickle drops!
Trickle drops! my blue veins leaving!
O drops of me! trickle, slow drops,
Candid from me falling, drip, bleeding drops,
From wounds made to free you whence you were prison’d,
From my face, from my forehead and lips,
From my breast, from within where I was conceal’d, press forth red
drops, confession drops,
Stain every page, stain every song I sing, every word I say, bloody...
