it’s never to early to be the best email of the day

the damned sun came out! makes it harder to work. but you should walk or something. It is so much higher in the sky now. A real marked change

In a bit it won’t even shine in the window.

navyhistory:

Last fall we learned about an exciting new publication about the  American Civil War. This brand new quarterly magazine is called the Civil War Monitor,  and it looks to bridge the gulf between academic and popular history.  According to the magazine, it is “devoted to the belief that popular  history need not be superficial or sentimental.”

Several things: 1. Yes, I do follow the naval history tumblr, 2. Cole Haan is selling those boots right now. 3. This is an American Studies magazine (how silly!) 4. This one’s for you, Miss Taylor.

The Not-So-Retiring Barney Frank

  • Andrew Goldman: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
  • Barney Frank: No.
  • AG: Why not?
  • BF: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
  • AG: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
  • BF: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

“I thought he’d instantly pick up on the romanticism of just running away. But 14-year-olds don’t understand romanticism because they haven’t watched Woody Allen films yet.”
