So of all the crazy coverage and ruminations about the Cambridge Police/Prof. Gates situation, I truly do love the Daily Show’s commentary on what we can learn about all this:
“Don’t forget your #@$*&$ keys.”

Normally I do not give my spam folder a second thought aside from “Maybe I should actively rather than passively delete this stuff.” Today I actually paused to look at the titles of the spam messages. Promises of amazing enlargements, much words of wisdom on the best way to spend my money on weight loss, […]

Ok, first off I’m going to give you a disclaimer… if you are grossed out by mice and dead things and you don’t have a curiosity for poking at things, you should probably stop reading this post because that’s where this is going.

Ever listen to This American Life? I highly recommend it, or at least pick through for show themes that pique your interest.
