1. Jewish Giant at Home with His Parents in the Bronx, NY, 1970, Diane Arbus.

2. Penelope Trunk:

You are probably wondering if I think about Melissa having an affair with the Farmer.

I do. I think about it all the time.

As a preventive measure I tell the farmer that if he cheats on me, I’ll stay with him. Forever. I’ll never leave him. He’ll be stuck on the farm with me, in misery.

3. Neatorama, where I used to blog once upon a time, has a new line of zombie goods to help around the house (magnets, doorstops).

He doesn't care about girls

The only things he looks at are dogs.

Man verbally attacks his former girlfriend on C-Span

This is Todd Seavey:



And this is National Review Associate Editor Helen Rittelmeyer:



They recently appeared on a panel televised on C-Span to promote the new book Proud to Be Right: Voices of the Next Conservative Generation:



The discussion about politics and morality is just as boring as you'd expect, until approximately 1:30 in, when Seavey announces that he used to date Rittelmeyer, that he believes she cheated on him, and that she used to plot to toy with other men:



The end cuts off her response to Seavey's question, "what is it you don't want people to do to each other, what sort of evils are beyond the pale." Apparently, she responds, "I don't know, spilling your heart on C-SPAN?"

Seavey talks about the appearance here. And Rittelmeyer comments here.
