When Is A Hug More Than A Hug?
↵For the record, I don’t think I’ve hugged my step-brother in over a decade, so the above clip’s really not that far off. Onto the links:
- ↵↵Someone named Larry Kudlow thinks that Barack Obama made America look weak when he hugged Rahm Emmanuel at Rahm’s farewell press conference. Best. Article. Ever.
- ↵The world’s billionaires have given up on investments. Just buy tons of gold, they say.
- ↵I know college sports are corrupt, and this book excerpt was cool, but digging any deeper just scares me. The world of amateur hoops is like the meatpacking industry of Upton Sinclair’s day, except everyone’s wearing tracksuits. One day, somebody will write The Jungle and it’ll be changed forever. Until then, I’d rather not think about it.
- ↵Flip Saunders might start Kirk Hinrich. I hate sports sometimes.
- ↵Jose Canseco would just like a little recognition, you know?
↵↵Finally, David Simon’s original pitch to HBO for The Wire:

Instead, the conclusion is something that Euripides or O’Neill might recognize: an America, at every level at war with itself.
