Jim Carroll, author of The Basketball Diaries and quasi-punk rock Bob Dylan (sort of), passed away this weekend. Even though I outgrew him, Jim Carroll was one of the writers who turned me on to poetry in late high school. Ill always thank him for that.

In “Hey! The 1910's are back!” news, a Missouri school district banned a t-shirt featuring an image of a monkey holding a brass instrument and progressing through various stages of evolution until becoming a human. “I was disappointed with the image on the shirt,” said Sherry Melby, a band parent. “I don’t think evolution should be associated with our school.” You stay classy, Missouri.

The NHS in Britain has sparked a controversy of sorts with a new campaign, promoting an orgasm a day: “Alongside the slogan “an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away”, it says: “Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes' physical activity three times a week.

In a sparring match with Charles Grodin last night, Sean Hannity (jokingly?) offered to be waterboarded for charity. If someone set up a “Sean Hannity Waterboarding Booth” and charged any American who wanted to dunk him $5 a pop, we could pay for universal healthcare through 2200.
