Marketers call it an ‘affordable luxury.’ Economists call it a ‘small luxury’ or ‘inferior good.’ Revlon calls it ‘Posh.’ Either way, for this recession nail polish is the new Lipstick Index.

Fascinating.

““If you’re a smart Ph.D. from MIT, you’d never go to Wall Street now,” says a hedge-fund executive. “You’d go to Silicon Valley. There’s at least a prospect for a huge gain. You’d have the potential to be the next Mark Zuckerberg. It looks like he has a lot more fun.””

- The End of Wall Street As They Knew It (via secondverse)

I’m not sure which is worse: having our best and brightest go to Wall Street or having none of them go to Wall Street. A Wall Street full of C-students just might bring the apocalypse.

msnbc:

“For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq. For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country. Most of al-Qaida’s top lieutenants have been defeated. The Taliban’s momentum has been broken, and some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home.”

The ethereal lighting during the State of the Union address gives Obama’s words a little extra oomph.

Change Happened (by Digitocalypse)

Our President has accomplished so many amazing things and gotten so little credit, so please take a moment to appreciate how far we’ve come in 3 short years. I must admit, even I got a little emotional. :)

Credit goes to the inimitable Dan Ingala (of Plushgun) for creating this awesome video.
