Yesterday, I complained that the general education curriculum in the United States was broken, but (as more than a few people have pointed out) I did not offer more than a few vague generalities about how to fix it. Partly this is because diagnosing a problem is a lot easier than actually doing anything about it. All pundits know this very well. But, for me, it was also a case of having much more to say on the topic than a 650-word blog post could ever hope to capture.

On Tuesday, July 23^rd, 2013, New York City mayoral candidate, Anthony Weiner confirmed that he continued to engage in inappropriate sexting with a 22 year old college activist from Iowa. The college student, involved with progressive causes, Sydney Leathers, confirmed that she was the partner that Anthony Weiner joined in appropriate text messages and online conversations with the progressive activist.

Researchers at the Roskamp Institute in Florida recently published a study in the journal Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience revealing that cannabinoids could delay the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, and could quite plausibly terminate the disease entirely.

There's no doubt about it: social media played an imperative role in shaping 2012, and its dominance is here to stay. We've witnessed its role in the 2012 election and the rise of Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ in the wake of decreased interest in Facebook.
