That’s right. Kelly Cutrone, and the gems that come out of her mouth, now have a blog. I have to admit that I watch Kelly’s new show on Bravo (Kell on Earth) and I am surprised by how much I love it and her. She gets it DONE.

Wall Street and Curling: An Unlikely Marriage →
And so, after a day of braying for money in the markets, traders are winding down with curling. It is, fans say, a bit of after-market therapy. Curling is so slow and drawn out that it becomes mesmerizing.
“It is like drinking merlot,” said Douglas A. Kass, the president of Seabreeze Partners, who got hooked on Olympic curling a few years ago via CNBC.
Daily Om
Metaphorically, we take flight whenever we break free of the gravity that holds us to a particular way of thinking or feeling or being. We take flight mentally when we rise above our habitual ways of thinking about things and experience new insights. This is what it means to open our minds. Emotionally, we take flight when the strength of our passion exceeds the strength of our blockages; the...

FoD Exclusive of the Day: A hot Filipina girl with big naturals lost her tramp stamp? No disrespect, but the Ed Hardy Boyz (Nick Kroll and Jon Daly) are on the case, bro.

This one is so weird and star-studded. Nick Kroll is amazing, as usual.

Be our Guest: Erik Ainge

Jets QB Erik Ainge will be given the reins on Thursday when he makes his Mascots debut. Erik completed a storied college career in football-mad Knoxville as the University of Tennessee’s four-year starter, breaking Peyton Manning’s freshman year TD record and being named MVP of the Outback Bowl as a senior in 2008. He’s yet to take a pro snap with the Jetropolitans, but trust...

A former Fox analyst, Angela McGlowan, entered a House race in Mississippi last week. Over at MSNBC, Harold E. Ford Jr. was on the payroll until a few weeks ago, when he told his boss that he was seriously contemplating a run for the Senate from New York. TV names are also constantly being run through the candidate rumor mill. There is a “Draft Larry Kudlow” movement. There is also talk of a...

“Fear can be the result of admiration, or it can be a symptom of contempt. When I see squeamish guys passing over qualified women when they’re hiring for a job, or becoming tongue-tied when a girl crashes their all-boy conversation at a party, I don’t credit them for being awestruck. They’re reacting to the intimidating female as an intruder, an alien, and somebody they can’t relate to. It’s not...

A Thought on Evan Bayh and Partisan America
robertreich:
Not long ago I was debating someone on television. I thought the discussion was going well until the commercial break when a producer said into my earpiece “be angrier.”
“Why should I be angrier?” I asked him, irritated that he hadn’t appreciated the thoughtfulness of debate.
“That’s how we get channel surfers to stop and watch the program,” the producer explained. “Eyeballs are...
