There is a 4 day cruise in the Caribbean this January with 40 metal bands performing during the course of the cruise. I can only imagine the kind of atmosphere that will inspire...
I'd go. I think.

Think About the Kids
Obama really secured the younger vote in 2008. Yet this NYT article talks about how fewer college types are identifying themselves as democrats.
This Pew poll demonstrates: "The Democratic advantage over the Republicans in party affiliation among young voters, including those who "lean" to a party, reached a whopping 62% to 30% margin in 2008. But by the end of 2009 this 32-point margin had shrunk to just 14 points: 54% Democrat, 40% Republican."
We young people can be fickle I guess when it comes to identifying with a party and maybe that's how it has always been. Perhaps limited responsibility-no owned homes, low taxes, generally no children, etc-allows us to take a more middle of the road type approach with no firm allegiance one way or the other.

Mandatory Recycling
Everyone loves recycling, right?
Not so.
This dude puts into some perspective the cost of recycling and there will be an upcoming article on whether it really helps the planet or not. He writes for the Boston Globe, so I assume he's not a loon. Although some will think him a loon because his opinion goes against the grain.
I must say I hold his opinion as well.

Fast Food Lies
Like most people, I have a strong interest in fast food. It tastes good, it's cheap and the social commentary surrounding it is nearly endless.
My eye really caught on this Huffington Post article on Fast Food Lies: Meals That Don't Live Up to Their Ads. It's the question we have all asked ourselves when seeing a billboard or commercial about the latest hamburger: Is that really what it will look like? The journalist of that article put some pictures up to help answer that oldest of post-1950 era conundrums.
