Newest Donut In Town

Here are today’s:

* Want people to lose weight? — put a mirror in front of the donuts

* Want to read the least-funny thing ever written about humor?this ebook (free PDF here) argues that the key to humor is pattern recognition

* Want to be operated on by a brain surgeon who’s also Twittering (I refuse to say “Tweeting”) the procedure? — head over to Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit

* Want to seek “treatment” for your same-sex attraction? — this British study found a surprising number of shrinks still offering such services — despite such treatments’ lack of efficacy — and despite the fact that we’ve stopped treating homosexuality as a medical disorder

* Want to get revenge on me for keeping up this annoying “Want to… ?” sentence structure? — don’t — revenge is a dish best served not at all — or, at least, vindictiveness can lead to unemployment, according to a new study

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.

    Comments, questions, news tips, creative verbal abuse, etc. can be sent to: editor-at-ryansager.com.
