I hope the Queen's people tell her hundreds of thousands of YouTube views are good. She doesn't have to know that dogs on diving boards get more attention than she does.

Humanity's habit of violence is counterintuitive to progress. Now more than ever we need a choice to leave the religion behind in favor of science and fact.

New Year Revolutions

Jon Robin Baitz

Today, on the last day of a ruthless bitch of a year, I believe that our best hopes lie with Barack Obama. He is, in my opinion, a dreamer, an idealist, and our best hope to regain stature, pride, and to find a path to peace that is both lasting and fierce.
