Cheers to Chelsy Davy for using Facebook to announce she has ended her 5-year relationship with Prince Harry. Afterward, I imagine she had another get-down-to-business binge night like the one in the pic, posted online awhile ago. She must be totally distraught; after all, isn’t it every little girl’s dream to find her charming prince?
On an unrelated note, Chelsy’s dad -the...

fakeTV theory 01: web comments are dead
I just set up disqus comments on this tumblr, and unsuprisingly, no one has left a comment. Meanwhile, a clusterfuck of a discussion of Gaza is going on at current.com, and it’s not a conversatin that any sane person would want to particpate in. Commenters were recently suspended so that they could “cool off.” Generally, comments sections serve as soap boxes for assholes,...

the "fifty-one state solution"
“A Palestinian state will come into existence, some say, by a “two-state solution.” Some say a “one-state solution.” They are not thinking big. A fifty-one state solution—that is the answer.
The United States must offer the West Bank and Gaza Strip statehood in the manner of Nevada or Rhode Island. Voting can follow conventional forms for state ratification under...
