- It's not even coded bigotry anymore – Joan Walsh – Salon.com
June 30, 2010 – AND, you know what? Justice Alito is from New Jersey. that’s where the Sopranos are from. The Sopranos are mobsters. And they eat a lot of veal Parmesan and pasta at family gatherings, instead of the barbecue that normal people eat. Also, he has a fancy education from Princeton and Yale. I think he should be thrown off the Court immediately.
- In defense of "Twihards"
June 30, 2010 – Oh, when I saw the headline, I thought it was a Twitter thing.

- Richard Brody: George Cukor’s “A Star Is Born.”
June 27, 2010 – If you have not seen this movie, and if you have any love at all for film musicals, you owe it to yourself to buy it, rent it, or see it in a theater. One of my favorite films of all time, shined up and looking great.

- Disney Device Will Describe Outdoor Areas to Blind
June 23, 2010 – Get right the hell out of town! This is spectacular. Audio description of attractions (when it works) is good, but contextual description of one’s surroundings that allows you to move somewhat independently in a varied landscape like a theme park (or concert venue, convention center, etc.) is really needed. I’m gonna go ahead and say it: good going, Disney.
