1.  I have been struggling of late to get out of my ostrich method of survival.  I mean, it has been darn right depressing for the last two months to get your arms around something interesting without having the ooze of doom slide off on you from all the other news.  Having said that, I will try and start off with my go-to guy (well he and David Brooks, as well) for something worth knowing about:
