Pinterest. I love you. You gave me this:
This is a DIY T-shirt project from Martha Stewart. Cool design, right?
Take a look at the Tools and Materials List. First thing: whole fish or fish replica.
First How-To Step: Generously ink fish.
What?
I like how she gives you a template for the hook, though.
This is from March, 2012. I’m reposting it today because everyone seems to think Mitt Romney is going to save the world from Donald Trump. Or something.
I had the blissful opportunity of enjoying exceptional hot wings, conversation, and bro time in Wayne, PA this week. One of the insights that emerged from this time of fellowship is offered here for your consideration.
Mitt Romney is so unpalatable because there’s absolutely no reason for him to be running for president. It’s great that he’s not an ideologue, but it would be nice if he had some ideology. It’s not the incessant flip-flopping so much as what that says about his real motives for running. He has no great beliefs and hence no great motives. He’s running because he wants to be President, pure and simple. He’s running because he wants the Office of Ultimate Upward Mobility. He’s running for power or prestige or from some deep-seated need to leave no opportunity untapped.
We’ve been saying things like this for a long time, but it wasn’t until this week that we’ve been able to put it in the most precise terms possible:
Does anyone really believe anything this man says?
Yesterday, I wished you all a Happy St. David’s Day. For more context, check out my St. David’s Day greeting from last year, here.
Oh, and also: Free Wales!
On Monday, we’ll observe Casimir Pulaski day with a short piece I read at an International Arts Movement event last year, an original photo of a Moravian grave here in the Lehigh Valley, and music by Sufjan Stevens.
Yes, yes. That sounds alarmist. But given that we’ve been talking about the food supply today, and about the paper thin difference between a war between regime change in Iraq and regime change in Iran, I thought I should share this startling graphic. If it’s true, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter who you vote for. #buyorganic

Read from the bottom up.
Am I totally off? I am blind to the new reality that says in the absence of sane regimes, pre-emptive wars are okay? And if I’m wrong about that, then everyone who was or now is against the Iraq war was/is wrong about that.
Let’s not forget that with the Iraq war, there’s some legal cover. After all, that regime was in open violation of the terms of the Gulf War cease fire. I’m not saying that makes it right, but it might make it legal. What similar precedent do with have with Iran?
You want to change the regime in Tehran? So do I. Is this how we’ll do it? Good God, what have we learned?
As an Ursinus alum, I’m bummed my alma mater didn’t make this list. But Muhlenberg College ranks right up there with Boston College, Boston University, NYU, USC, Georgetown, Yale and other marquee-brand schools on a new list of America’s hottest colleges. That’s hottest as in “the place to be.”
I’ve been saying for years that Allentown is “the place to be,” and it’s precisely that now more than ever.
(BTW, as a Yale alum, take that, Harvard.)
