“…I’m not sure that we aren’t seeing the emergence of a society in which almost *everyone* who isn’t famous considers themselves cruelly and unfairly unheard. As though being famous, and the subject of wide attention, is considered to be a fulfilled human being’s natural state – and so, as a corollary, the cruelly unheard millions are perpetually primed and fired up to answer any and all questions in order to redress this awful unbalance.”

1) Job offers galore – but the startup wins. I am (meagerly) employed.
2) I’ve always said I never want to see my President smile, ever, because his job too important. Fortunately, we learn that this won’t be a problem with Barack Obama, who can’t tell a joke to save his life.
3) The Boston Red Sox go down (a combined) 29-5 over two games and 6 and 1/2 innings, and then: Oh. My. God. To think a team could (*knocking furiously on wood*) come back from either a 3-0 or 3-1 deficit in a postseason series three freaking times in five years…I’m just going to stop there. I’ll just say that I’m not going to turn off the next game in the 5th inning.
