Small Penis Rule →
bestofwikipedia: The “small penis rule” is an informal strategy used by authors to evade libel lawsuits. It was described in a New York Times article in 1998: “…For a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two,” … One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis,...

The Supreme Court and Healthcare →
Wickard v. Filburn seems ridiculous then and now. With that being said, this argument could very well garner a mentioned “ugly win.”

A Void →
I enjoy stories in which the characters “recognize” that they are, in fact, part of a story (this seems to touch on that) but the additional fact that he wrote this without using the letter “e” is interesting as well.

The Pain of a Brett Favre Injury →
Normally I think ESPN’s Page 2 articles are a joke. This one is amazing. “The Streak” really may be one of the greatest sports achievements…ever.

I really may have posted this before. If I have, I’m not sorry because it’s worth watching again. If you disagree, just chalk it up to my Joseph Gordon-Levitt love.  (via hitrecordjoe)

Obama’s Very Good Week  →
David Brooks is great. If you don’t read him, you should probably start. He came to Wheaton my junior or senior year (I’m getting old) and gave an engaging lecture.  If you don’t follow him, at least read this one.

This isn’t even cool to think about. No one is allowed to write more articles like this…none. It isn’t happening. We’ll give him 400 million over the next 15 years if we have to…right? /gulp

Aaron Sorkin: In Her Defense, I'm Sure the Moose... →
I’m a humongous fan of the West Wing. It’s premier writer (first 4 seasons I believe) also recently wrote the screenplay for The Social Network as well.  I’m NOT a humongous Sarah Palin fan. I wouldn’t want her to be the President and I did not see her kill the Moose on her reality show.  That being said, Sorkin seems to have gone a bit off the rails on this article. That...
