Could the eagles have flown Frodo into Mordor? — Sean CristMy contention is that there is nothing in the text to rule out such a plan, and that it is simply a hole in the plot of an otherwise excellent book that the issue is never brought up. This is not to say that LoTR is in any way a bad book; it merely shows that even as excellent a writer as Tolkien does not always succeed at perfectly harmonizing the various entities which he has placed in his world.
Anne Hathaway: In Defense of the Happy Girl — Sasha Weiss, The New YorkerOh, Anne! With your small head and pert nose and oversized, ready smile and glossy pixie cut and squeakily tuneful speaking voice, uttering lines like “It came true!” as you gaze at your newly won Oscar with moistened doe-eyes, wearing a powder-pink Prada gown adorned with diamonds and bows: Why are you so annoying?
Can the Republicans Be Saved From Obsolescence? — Robert Draper, The New York TimesAbout an hour into the session, Anderson walked up to a whiteboard and took out a magic marker. “I’m going to write down a word, and you guys free-associate with whatever comes to mind,” she said. The first word she wrote was “Democrat.”“Young people,” one woman called out.“Liberal,” another said. Followed by: “Diverse.” “Bill Clinton.”“Change.”“Open-minded.”“Spending.”“Handouts.”“Green.”“More science-based.”

9 Rules For a Really Big Corgi Meetup at the Beach — Matt Stopera, Buzzfeed Rule 1: Look really, really irresistibly cute.
Taxis and the shortest route home (from my email) — Tyler Cowen, Marginal RevolutionIf you’ve ever wondered why a seeming professional cab driver will ask you how to get to your destination, this is why. Going your way means they’ll make more money and they won’t be accused of ripping you off.
The Running of the (Inaugural) Balls — Monica Hesse and Dan Zak, The Washington PostWe could each only moveon to the next ball if: 1. We consumed a food item or beverage with a political name (a “Yes We Canape,” for example). 2. We found any elected official, a person wearing a tiara or a celebrity of passable renown. 3. We participated in a group dance (“The Electric Slide,” for example, or “The Wobble”).

Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, the Most Heartbreaking and Inspirational Story of the College Football Season, is a Hoax — Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey, DeadspinThe photographs identified as Kekua—in online tributes and on TV news reports—are pictures from the social-media accounts of a 22-year-old California woman who is not named Lennay Kekua. She is not a Stanford graduate; she has not been in a severe car accident; and she does not have leukemia. And she has never met Manti Te'o.
