GOOD: Open Marriages Aren't Wrong -- Newt Gingrich... →
‘m fairly sure Gingrich wasn’t proposing an open marriage in the hopes of flouting repressive traditions: He was just seeking permission to continue a moral lapse he’d grown comfortable in. His strategy of choice—popping the question over the phone at Marianne’s mother’s 84th birthday—was tasteless, to put it mildly. And not only did Gingrich ask for an open...

Tumblr's Support Problem with 'Missing e'

The reasons they give for suggesting that you uninstall Missing e are the worst-case scenario for installing browser extensions or browser modifications of any kind.

Best Songs of 2011
My drop in the ocean of best of the year lists. These are not in numerical order: they are simply organized by artist name.   Autra - Lose It Proof that sopranos like me can still sing pop music.

I figured out that I was dressed up fancy because my friend Will (from Oberlin) was getting married and I was supposed to be some member of the wedding party; I’m not sure what. I saw a bunch of Obies (mostly members of my class)...
