Making Age Spots a Thing of the Past

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a first-of-its-kind treatment to rid patients of these unsightly lesions.

Warts and all.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

Marfa Road Trip: Thelma and Louise, With a Happier Ending

When you escape your life at 45, as in a Thelma and Louise-level escape, you go on a road trip. The writer and her best friends of 25 years picked Marfa, the artist hub in the middle of the West Texas desert, as their destination.

The spirit of dada continues.

Jeff Koons Sculpture in Honor of Paris Terror Victims Draws Outrage

Prominent French figures asked the city to reject plans to install “Bouquet of Tulips,” calling it “shocking” and saying it amounted to product placement.

This is success.

Jeff Koons is not a role model of mine.

Opinion

Deep Breath: The Democrats Did Just Fine

Don’t believe unrealistic theories about government shutdowns.

http://www.brendan-nyhan.com/blog/2009/12/the-green-lantern-theory-of-the-presidency.html

"Paul Krugman, Ezra Klein, Catherine Rampell, Nate Cohn and Perry Bacon Jr. make cases similar to mine. Among other things, some of them point out that Democrats won a six-year extension of the children’s health insurance program as part of the deal, which is no small feat.
My biggest question for Democratic leaders is whether they could have made the same deal a couple of days ago. If so, it would have been slightly better. But it probably doesn’t matter either way. A two-day shutdown isn’t going to affect the political scene months from now.
My colleagues David Brooks and Michelle Goldberg make a different case from mine, arguing, from different perspectives, that the Democrats got rolled."

Spin-a-win from Republican pundits.

Megyn Kelly vs. Jane Fonda: The Rematch

Giving NBC’s morning audience a glimpse of her Fox News persona, Ms. Kelly said Ms. Fonda “has no business lecturing anyone on what qualifies as offensive.”

Faux news deserves no respect.

A Guacamole Keeper, Peas Not Included

The Guac-Lock does a better job than plastic wrap of preventing avocado oxidation.

Tupper ware.

Eat your avocado when you cut it.

Vance Bans Donations From Lawyers With Pending Cases

Cyrus R. Vance Jr., Manhattan’s district attorney, said he will not solicit donations in person and will ask officials to keep donors’ names secret.

Justice should not be for sale.
