Thursday morning roundup

This is so f*ed up I have nothing to say about it. Not even, 'think before you tweet,' because the bigger issue is, why would you even think such things? And that makes you part of the problem.

The foreign aid budget is not the problem. Besides, the ag and shipping industries are going to lobby to restore it, because it means demand for their goods and services.

Corporations haggle with government agencies over the value of a human life.

Carolyn Hax tells women to be weary of charming, charismatic people.

Not RSVPing--and I feel especially strongly about this, having just hosted a party, is extremely rude.

Female celebrities continue to find virtue or at least PR advantage, in perpetuating an image of themselves as carefree, even gluttonous, eaters.

The Onion sees the Times as offering an equivalent to Colbert Platinum.
