Reading Way Too Much News So You Don't Have To

There's been lots of debate over the not-quite-verified teenage pregnancy pact in Gloucester, Mass. — What would possess a group of high schoolers to take on such a life-changing responsibility when they're so unequipped to handle it on purpose? In response, someone linked to this photo essay on poverty in upstate New York. Go read it. Seriously.

In contrast, I'm reading this book right now that I found on the free table at work about the world's super-rich and powerful who fly around the world on private jets to network with each other and make decisions that affect billions of people. There's your daily dose of inequality.

Also, don't pay for marriage counseling with a credit card.
