Walking is bad for Gaia. Driving is better. No need to even try to satirize the warming movement: it satirizes itself.
Hillary Clinton's "experience." What experience? We missed this April piece by Dick Morris from The Hill. As we have asked before, What has she ever run? What has she ever done?
Erik von Markovic: Master Seducer. I need this guy's book.
Tom Wolfe on the Hedgies: Pirate Poseurs and Twinkie Wives.

The critics and Jon Swift on Antonioni and Bergman.

The Ask What Your Country Can Do For You Department: Here's a candidate who has a different view:
“Government cannot take care of you. You’ve got to take care of yourself.” He said the marketplace, not the government “nanny state,” needs to do the work of fixing the nation’s health care problems.
