Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Harvard is named worst school for free speech - getting 0 out of a possible 100 points. However, on the Harvard grading slope that's a B.

- Was Wagner boss's assassination business or revenge?

- VDH on what the Left did to our country. He does not spare Barack Obama from being crucified.

- When higher GDP's aren't always good news.

10% Happier by Dan Harris

Dan Harris turns into an admirer of the Buddha in the book 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help that Actually Works - a True Story

Turns out the Buddha was a hell of a list maker and Harris made one of his own. And he called it, The Way of the Worrier. Great life advice.
