Will: Claire, you never say that!

Basically, this is how I feel about health care reform and complaints that it’s too expensive.

City Year : Senator Edward M. Kennedy
To our City Year community, On behalf of the City Year community of corps members, alumni, staff, board members and supporters, I am writing to share our deepest sympathy with the family of Senator Edward M.

Obama's E-Mail : Senator Ted Kennedy
Claire — Michelle and I were heartbroken to learn this morning of the death of our dear friend, Senator Ted Kennedy. For nearly five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health and economic well-being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts. His ideas and ideals are stamped on scores of laws and reflected in millions of...
Dominick Dunne
Dominick Dunne passed away yesterday at the age of 83. He wrote some very interesting things… As someone interested in Law, I enjoyed reading his articles in Vanity Fair. Along with many others who have passed this year, he will be missed.

Leave it to my dad to discover this one… This is too funny for words! If having a streak of bleached hair can count as blonde, I might have to invest in one of these just for kicks… (My favorite button is probably the “Yes! I want it!” button in place of the “return” button. Close second: the “Warning! Size XXL letters!” button in place of the...

Strong Bad takes on Indie films →
I’m a fan of said “indies,” and yet I’m still laughing! This is hilarious! It helps to be a mild cinephile, but even the common movie-goer will no doubt find bits of humor in this! (Especially my friends at USC and anyone else interested in/knowledgeable about film should be sure to check this out!)

– I visited my friend David on the Cape yesterday evening to this afternoon (very fun times)! As it is August (prime vacation time) and the town where David spends his summer visits (Woods Hole, Mass.) is quaint and family-friendly, there were many small children and I spotted tons of ridiculously...
Beer Summit
If Obama hosted a get together for every case of racism in the United States, I’m not sure he’d get anything (else) done… Clearly, things on this front desperately do need to change, though. I’m not sure this is as much an FML moment as an F The Current State Of Affairs In The U.S.

Tom and Peyton...
Me: Listen to this quote-- it's Tom Brady: "There's one guy whose game I love. That's Peyton. Being in the system I've been in for eight years, with the same coach and the same offense, when we call a play, I've run it hundreds of times. Peyton and I share that." It's from this Esquire interview.
Jesus: Oh man.
Me: What?
Jesus: That means I have to like Tom Brady a little.
Me: I know. I think it means I have to like Peyton Manning a little...
Fantasy Football
It’s that time of year again…
The commercials are back on TV… Updates about practices and training camp are all over sports news… And I just got an e-mail in my inbox inviting me to join a Fantasy Football league. Yes, the NFL is gearing up for what is sure to be yet another exciting season (and with Brady back as QB for the Pats, it couldn’t be off to a better...

Why not be a vegetarian sometimes? It can’t hurt, right— and one day a week isn’t so bad if you ask me! You don’t even have to resort to Tofu if you don’t want ;o)

Today, my girlfriend wanted to name my penis. After 5 minutes of random names she thought of, she finally picked one. Say hello to Squirtle. FML

Will: Not yet!
