(Don’t be) the world’s biggest jackass

Lindsey Graham recently advised “Don’t be the world’s biggest jackass.”

I must admit, there may be better ways to get yourself into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Maggie Stiefvater improves your life

Here is a way to improve your life: Everywhere you see the word “margarine,” replace it with “butter.”
Everywhere you see the word “low fat,” apply judicious strikethrough to the letters L and O and W.
Also, I give you full permission to compare the nutrition facts of your granola bar with cookies and forevermore eat cookies for breakfast.
