From the desks of mighty cat herders to the sad cubicles of underperforming corporate drones, fantasy football is back to suck up hours upon hours of would-be productive time. The time-suck, like Crasstalk, is alternately fulfilling and frustrating. With that in mind, we figured, we present Crasstalk Fantasy Football 2012. Continue reading
Well, this didn’t take long. According to a report, a survivor of last week’s Aurora, Colorado theater shooting is suing anyone who might have a few bucks and is tangentially connected to the events that took place. Continue reading
Considering that more than half of all Americans are using social media in some form, though many of them badly (I’m looking at you, Rep. Dan Gordon) there’s clearly a temptation to say that companies should be doing all they can to reach out to customers using the various channels. At least, that’s the position of tech wonder-boy Josh James in his guest post on Forbes.com this week. Continue reading
Well, not a friend, exactly. This isn’t Craigslost, after all.

The country is debating leaving the Eurozone and has narrowly avoided default in the last few months by some pretty close margins. The last round of elections saw both far-Right and far-Left parties gaining footholds in Parliament, which is never the basis for compromise and reform (see Tea Party, The). Continue reading
Ever since Rick Santorum dropped out of the Republican nominating process, Mitt Romney has turned his attention and rhetoric in the direction of the general election.

To think, ’tis only May 1, and America’s favorite space-grifter and her most beloved hater of colleges have packed up and left the deranged playground that was the 2012 GOP presidential primary. Now that the least heinous most likable 1%er of the crop has been chosen, the side show collection of contenders will slowly slide back into the murky depths of K-street lobbying firms and Heritage Foundation-like ‘think-tanks’.
