Who Are You And What Are You Doing Here? Some thoughts on Higher Education from Mark Edmundson courtesy of the Oxford American.
Rhode Island: Athens of America? I may not agree with Professor Mead on everything, but you can't tell me he's not a fantastic, intelligent, thoughtful commentator- and out there in the Interwebs, there's precious few of those.
Golden Seconds Michael Yon's open letter to President Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta about the failure of Medevacs in Afghanistan-- powerful stuff and it's worth noting that if you really want to know what's going on over there, Yon's been embedded and reporting right from the source for years.
'You've Got To Find What You Love' Text of Steve Jobs 2005 Commencement Speech at Standford University- if you're looking for inspiration, he does a pretty good job of delivering it.
You Say You Want A Revolution Interesting words from Andrew Sullivan in Newsweek- I still don't quite agree with it though. I do think, underneath all the extremist bullshit in both the Tea Party and the Occupy Movement, you'll find a core of sensible, hardcore independents that are just pissed off and want it to stop- those are my people.
