Season 2 of The Newsroom debuted last night on HBO, I am told it is good.

Drudge will not let the fact that there were no riots stand in the way of his riot coverage
In the “no this is not from The Onion” category comes this expose on the hardships of being a white man in America:
From boyhood through adulthood, the White American Male must fight his way through a litany of taunts, assumptions and grievances about his very existence. His oppression is unlike anything American women have faced. Unlike women, however, men don’t organize and form groups when they’ve been persecuted.

And the tweet of the day comes, unsurprisingly, from Metta World Peace, who is talking about playing in New York I'm so happy to be Metta this morning because at 4am I turned into the Geico lizard. I was so scared I would be in NY as a Lizard!!
