the great decay

RIP Maurice Sendak
As you may have already heard, the world is a lot worse off this morning. Maurice Sendak, the one-of-a-kind author of Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen, has died at age 83.
One of his last of countless great contributions was the unforgettable interview he gave to Stephen Colbert earlier this year. Hilarious and genuine, it was Sendak at his zero-bullshit purest.
If anybody needs me, I’ll be watching it in my private boat in and out of weeks and almost over year.

Mitt Romney earned $21.6 million in 2010 — and paid just 14% in taxes, far less than Newt Gingrich’s 31.7% or Obama’s 26.3%.

In fact, the Romneys paid a higher tax rate to foreign countries, handing over 18 percent on the almost $375,000 that they garnered abroad. The former Massachusetts governor also shelled out almost $3 million to charity, roughly 16 percent of his post-tax haul.
