This is from a few weeks ago. Live TV is tough…I had so much more to talk about!

An enviro-moralism, substantiated by the current sense of ecological responsibility, has permeated modern discourse.

Several of my friends have had babies in the last few years, and some are on their second round already.

Any resource that helps [...]

A panel of celebrity judges including George Clooney, Cameron Diaz, Orlando Bloom and Rihanna, as well as Alex Bogusky of leading ad agency Crispin, Porter & Bogusky, [...]
