Read that story a couple months ago, idiotic cunty way to link it. It’s about psychotic man invading the home of a lesbian couple with graphic descriptions of brutal rape and murder. You should let people know what they’re getting into first thing in the morning.

The WSJ runs that same article every year, neglecting, just the same, to remind everyone how large the income gap has grown as well. Or the fact that the top 20 percent earn 60 percent of the income. Or that middle class wages have stagnated vs inflation for more than a decade. Or that the top five percent of earners have seen the largest income gains from 2001-2009.

Girls did absolutely nothing for me. I don’t like associating with hipsters in real life. Why would I want to watch them on television?
But seriously, the best shows draw you into unfamiliar environments, and make you feel a part of a world you know nothing about through strong writing and characterization. Girls just puts a camera on a collection of boring, mostly unlikable people and expects us to care. Unless you’re a part of those hipster enclaves, what appeal does the show have?

The TV bar is set real low concerning how young women are portrayed in New York. “Oh they’re poor and don’t all look like babes, this is revolutionary.” I found it interesting but I disliked all of the characters.

April 17th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
Every single public high school in the country should require seniors to take a basic finance. Educate them on predatory lending, credit card interest rates, how to open bank accounts, how to fill out W-4s, etc. It’s so easy to get into trouble at that age (and later). Feel like this initiative could gain at least some bipartisan support.

I have some inside knowledge of this event. they overspent on a meeting, but really it is an line item, optics issue. the amount they spent isn’t outrageous for a multiday training conference for 300 people. the issue is a person that wanted the big job, didn’t get it, and saw an opportunity to punish the people she felt denied her by leaking this to the IG. the heads of people that have made GSA more cost effective rolled over less than $1MM.

Worked a recruiting event when I was with Accenture and a recent grad, during the course of “tell me a bit about yourself” said, “I don’t mean to sound self-defecating, but…” and I looked at him and said, “You don’t mean to poop on yourself?”.

They mention it somewhat in the article but Dwight owns something like 42% of the rental properties in Iowa City’s 52242 zip code. I rented from Tim my junior year of college before I moved west of campus. He also owns 3 of the 5 major liquor stores on campus in addition to the businesses mentioned in the piece.
Weird that he defaulted on the loan. Last I knew, he was doing quite well for himself.

@ sir spicious,
It seems the issue is with the numerous “scouting” trips to find the proper venue for the conference and the fact that the majority of those trips were all to the same resort.

If I were her, I’d walk into work today with the theme from Fletch blaring and demanding all kinds of crazy things from her editor similar to the end of the movie.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
Sadly, I envision my step-son doing this exact same thing.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
And his editor, realizing he still manages a small newspaper that will probably see very little benefit at all from having a Pulitzer Prize winner on staff will say, “Good luck at your next job.”
April 17th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
That and hard work. That woman is going to be a star for a long time, though. By all accounts she’s a really hard worker.
She’ll be leaving for a major news outlet faster than you can say ‘Sandusky’
April 17th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
No way she’s going to be there by the end of the year, although who knows what the Patriot News can scrape together to keep her around through any trial.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
I also watched Sunday’s Mad Men last night. May have been the best episode of the series to date. That or the carousel. I rewatched Layne Price laying the smack down on Pete Campbell at least 5 times last night. Dude has a mean left cross. And making a move for Mrs. Harris? Layne Price has vaulted himself to #3 in the power rankings behind Sterling and Draper.

the Tennessee athletic department has cut 17 full-time positions …
The org of that dept sounded terribly inefficient and was set up how many departments were in the 70′s and never changed. Despite the arms race in coaches pay, stadium expansion & marketing, many of the athletic depts are either bare bones staffed or inconsistent at best.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
My biggest concern with her writing is that everything she puts together is now viewed as the similar Sandusky Gold Standard. Her Sunday expose was lauded, but to anyone connected to it, we could only shake our heads in wonder. So many major errors and changed stories.

Not to diminish someone else’s accomplishments because Sara Ganim has accomplished more at 24 than I will have by 35, but how prestigious is the Pulitzer Prize now-a-days? I’m honestly asking. If you don’t work or never have worked in the news room, do you even notice? If I didn’t follow Bruce Arthur or Richard Deitsch I wouldn’t have had a clue that the awards were even given out yesterday.
For the record, I’ve not read any of Ganim’s work because the Sandusky story was ruined by this blog for me. I chose to avoid any and all coverage of the event. I’m sure she did a wonderful job, obviously.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
I only knew of it because they ran a huge piece about a tv psychic the detectives talked to in the missing DA case. I just figured it was a podunk newspaper.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
I rewatched Layne Price laying the smack down on Pete Campbell at least 5 times last night.
That first punch was a shot to Pete’s forehead. If Pete is so terrible to let that throw hit him, he had no chance.

again, they overspent. again, a line item issue. but less than a $1MM (in the neighborhood of $2500/person for the conference) for the an agency division with $10B in revenue. its a witch hunt

That was the impression I got too. I mean I read the CDT every day and worked in the courthouse so I always followed the crime beat, but don’t recall ever seeing a stand for it anywhere.
They don’t have an 814 number though so I don’t even know where they’re run out of.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:43 AM

Cmon. Very good. If nothing this is what gets you a book deal and a great freelance rate. If you win one of these by not having to do a few years in a war zone, even better for you.

Don Draper’s jacket he wore to Pete’s house was phenomenal. I loved the episode, my favorite in awhile. A lot of great lines, gave Pete alot of screen time and he’s such a slimy bastard. Though for some reason I felt sympathy for him in the cab necause he realized he will never be Don. Loved the high school girl. And the fall of Alex Mack is terrible — has to suck to peak at age 15.

I think Pete either realizes he has to just be who he is and stop trying to be like Don and Roger, or he just tries even harder to become them and it destroys him.
interestingly enough, Pete and Lane were trying to prove themselves to be as good as or like Roger/Don all episode, while all season Don is seemingly turning into the next Bert Cooper.

This is true to a large degree, but this week my brother and I were paired with an 11-year-old who had been golfing for a year and we had a great time. He was still learning, so we tried to help him out as best we could. There are certainly people who would bemoan having to wait around for the young kid, but it was fun. Plus, you know if that kid stays with golf from now on, when he’s my age he’ll be throwing darts up on the green.

Totally. That woman deserves all of the accolades she gets for her testimony.

if youre a 13, you should have NO problems whatsoever with the mp52/53/57. there’s a noticeable difference in forgiveness in terms of feel, but from 7-pw, you wouldn’t have much of a problem with blades, let alone an iron with some forgiveness.
it’s really a lot less of a drastic leap in terms of actual playability than you’d think. i noticed almost no difference in my shot performance going from cavity backs to blades…youll be fine. mizzy’s are a fucking treat.

Pete will amass power as long as be brings in the clients. He may become increasingly insufferable in the office, but this is how it goes everywhere. Eventually he will turn from seeking respect (by being like Don) to seeking clout (ala Duck Phillips).
Very few people climb the intra-office ladder without setbacks. Pete just does them spectacularly.

well, the difference is at some point Don and Betty were happy and exactly like Pete and Trudy. if we met Don and saw him portrayed as Pete is we’d hate him, too.

This is a sticking point for me. Yes, he brings in clients but I don’t get the impression he’s amazingly successful at this part of the job.

No way. Do you remember how much money the Defense contractors were going to bring in and spend on PR/marketing, all gone south because of Don’s past? Pete cultivated that account for years, brought it in and got scrwewed. Yeah, Don floated the 50K loan for him but as a thank you, but Pete took the fall in the office. No wonder he’s still pissed.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
If you’re in a scramble with a monetary prize, you definitely want a chick on your team. Well, a chick that can hit the ball ok. You’re already at an advantage because she’s hitting from the women’s tees.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
That shit doesn’t bother me at all. Not sure why it would bother anyone, really. It would be great to golf with your kid, no matter where he/she hits from.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
Agreed.
My wife has a sweet swing. Once we teed up at the first hole, and there was a group of old men behind us. When she went to the whites, they started to talk amongst themselves, but went silent when she hit the ball. The only comment she got was a, “Nice drive.”
April 17th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
Yea, but no matter what I will never hit it farther than my husband. He is okay with that. Also, like SG said I come in handy during scrambles.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:39 AM

when i played kapalua in feb, one of my mom’s coworker’s played with his wife in the group behind us and it was totally unfair. she’s a scratch who plays from the men’s member tees and, i forget what hole it was, but she played from the ladies tees and drove the green. she also drove from the ladies tees and won the long drive competition.
it was extremely impressive…even from the ladies tees, the green she drove was still a good 270 yard drive (downhill, but still…).

If you’re in a scramble with a monetary prize, you definitely want a chick on your team. Well, a chick that can hit the ball ok. You’re already at an advantage because she’s hitting from the women’s tees.
sometimes that’s true, for sure. but it’s not about the distance, it’s about teeing off, then walking/driving up 40-50 yards and waiting for someone else to hit. i find it annoying.
It would be great to golf with your kid, no matter where he/she hits from.
completely different topic. the kid can hit from arbitrary spots the entire round; no need to tee off at any specific tee because he/she won’t be playing their own ball or keeping score.
and yes, i look forward to that.

Any competent person would know before even getting involved in a bid for government money you’re going to be subjected to a background check. That should be the FIRST THING you bring up in a meeting with your peers.
Don went to L.A. with Pete for the first meeting(s! Instead of discussing this, he bailed and skippped off with Joy to Palm Springs to drink margaritas and sangria.

no more than you hate men.
at least we both love animals.

And here’s my dog terrorizing a turtle.

that’s fucking great.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Awwwww… poor turtle. Cute vid. I’m glad you made her stop eventually.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
I didn’t get the part where she picked it up with her teeth and tossed it.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
History’s greatest monster.

my gf comes with me all the time, she likes to drive the cart and drink beer, and hit maybe 3 or 4 shots. I’m cool with that.
there are a couple holes at my course that are total bullshit in regards to the womens tee’s. some of them are over well 100 yards up from the tips, and completely take hazards out of the mix.
April 17th, 2012 at 10:59 AM
That’s shitty of you to allow her to do that.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
I honestly didn’t think she could/would. I felt bad after and we went to go look for the bunnies. She loves to chase the bunnies (and lizards).
April 17th, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Oh great. Let her terrorize more animals.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:05 AM
So you like animals but not when they act like animals, fascinating
April 17th, 2012 at 11:05 AM
I let my dog out this morning in the back yard which is fenced in. Thing is, I didn’t realize that I had not locked the gate after taking out the garbage last night. Of course I didn’t remember this until after about 10 minutes when she wasn’t back at the door. Scary fucking 10 minutes of my life as I am walking around the neighborhood in my boxers in the dark looking for her.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:07 AM
Oh great. Let her terrorize more animals.
fact: animals terrorize other animals without help from humans.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:07 AM
oh man, i know exactly what you’re talking about…only i had pants on.
and the best is, after chasing my dog around in 30* weather for 45 minutes, i come back almost about to break and she’s fucking waiting for me on the front step wagging her god damned tail with a smile on her face. and she had the good idea to get a bunch of burrs all up in her leg fur, which you can imagine was extremely easy to get out*.
*wasn’t
April 17th, 2012 at 11:07 AM
We can’t fence in our yard easily, and ours wandered off a few times until she got to know the boundaries. The road is really narrow and busy (one of our deer get hit by a car) and that was about the most panicked I’ve been, running up and down the driveway all around looking for this dog that has no idea that cars = bad.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:08 AM
/team short-hair dogs (also for tick purposes, which are bad this year)
April 17th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
It’s still early but I’m not sure I’ll see anything cooler this year than those orcas pack hunting seals on Frozen Planet a couple weeks back
April 17th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
yea, that was the only thing i didn’t like about my pooch…had to get her hair cut three or four times a year at $70 a pop. no shedding tho…
April 17th, 2012 at 11:11 AM
“(one of our deer get hit by a car) ”
You have pet deer?
April 17th, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Luckily she is afraid of the road, but she fucking loves the woods so I am then wondering how much poison ivy I am walking through looking for her. I eventually found her just wondering around the front of the houses going through the neighbors trash.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:13 AM
great way to start the work day. it’s been a couple years since either one of mine has done it, in the morning at least.
I went turkey hunting this past weekend and pulled over 2 dozen off me. fucking nasty.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:13 AM
I have a dog who is currently on death row, with one last appeal in the works (on a diminished capacity plea). His lifelong wanderlust, and desire to jump on humans has been combined with his devolution into insanity. He begs to get out, panics once he’s out, sprints toward the river he fears, crosses it, and then ends up on the other side, where he crosses a busy road to get to people’s houses and claw at their doors to get in. Or jumps into the face of a little kid.
He gets new crazy pills starting today. If this doesn’t work, he gets the needle.
And before you ask, SG, we live on a farm upstate. There’s nowhere else to go.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:14 AM
There are four does/young deer and (rarely) a buck that come by pretty much every morning/night right before it’s light or just after dark. There were only three sunday night, and when we went out, we saw the fourth on the side of the road, dying, after being hit by a car.

that’s a DIY job. The 150 dollar clippers will pay for themselves when people laugh at your dog’s awful haircut.

hah.

I wonder why they ran the “making of” special in the middle of that show’s run. That was odd.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
Good luck with that however it goes. Not a fun day, things will be tough for a while but sounds like you had some good times.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:21 AM

So….. no turkeys?

“It’s still early but I’m not sure I’ll see anything cooler this year than those orcas pack hunting seals on Frozen Planet a couple weeks back”
Do you recall what the title of that episode was? I’ve been trying to record them as they re-air, looking for that one in particular. I haven’t had time to watch any of them with my kids yet.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Think the orcas were doing work in the Summer episode

I have grown to hate the dog. I’m sick of hating the dog. I’d rather miss the dead dog than hate the sight of the live dog. And I’m tired of people bringing him back and telling me how scared he is.

they’re all on next Sunday, all day. But either Summer or Melting Ice. When I looked at them on the TV thing, that action was listed in the description on the guide.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:28 AM
negative. we got out a little late and it was real windy, so tough to hear. saw a nice Tom working a field, but it was about 600 yards away, and he was gone by the time we got there.
