Here are this morning’s:

* Artificial sweeteners are bad for you — we’ve covered this before, but they still are — a new piece from Seed magazine

* How to resist temptation — don’t feel it — a wallet stuffed with cash

* Has technology made dating gross? — David Brooks thinks so — but David Brooks thinks a lot of things he thinks are clever but really aren’t

* Being sad and complaining makes you smarter — people in a negative mood were more critical of, and paid more attention to, their surroundings than happier people — happy people were more likely to believe anything they were told

* Don’t be like a monkey — learn from your mistakes — not just your successes

    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.
