Still following the brilliant Huffpo blogger Nico Pitney, who wrote last night: 1:28 AM ET — The mourning rally. Thursday is gearing up to be a hugely significant day for the Green Uprising. Reza Aslan appeared on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show tonight, and laid out the importance of what is going to happen: What’s really fascinating…
I’ve been following the tireless and brilliant Huffington Post blog tended to by one Nico Pitney all weekend. Of all the raw sources (Twitter, YouTube) I have found that Pitney’s edits are spot-on, always gripping, and full of empathy.

On my 28th birthday, surrounded by an apartment full of friends, I celebrated the day with the usual fanfare and healthy dose of hedonism. I was feeling good! I was looking good! But one of the things I remember most about that birthday was a conversation with a guest brought by a friend of mine….

We start today by introducing Katie, a true Saturn in Virgo and our brilliant assistant/astrology apprentice. We hired her because we knew she’d…
Tim Russert, host of NBC’s Meet the Press, died suddenly today of a heart attack. His colleagues on MSNBC are all in shock, saddened, and breaking down on the air. Tim had just turned 58 on May 7th — his Saturn was in Virgo and his second Saturn Return had just begun. As with the sudden death of…
