So the sad but true story here is that I actually thought up this tweet all the way back during the regular season but I had to wait on it, sitting impatiently week after week in front of my TV throughout the whole postseason yelling “Cruz in the endzone, Cruz in the endzone, NO GODDAMNIT DON’T RUN THE BALL THROW IT TO CRUZ IN THE FUCKING ENDZONE!!!”, and then finally, last night, with my apartment full of twenty of my closest friends, I’m screaming “YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS, I FINALLY GET TO TWEET MY TWEET,” a tweet which, yes, I may just have referred to—in public, out loud, to other people—as quote “my Moby Dick of tweets” unquote.

Tim Tebow Leaves Door Open For Possible Future In Politics
Could the nation’s most promient spokesperson for evangelical Christianity jump in the political fray after he hangs up his cleats? Maybe.
Mike Allen reports on an interview Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow gave to the Golf Channel set to air tonight:
“I don’t know — it could be something in my future,” Tebow told Golf’s Dave Feherty when asked about a potential future run for office. “If it’s something I care about, possibly.”

100 million pairs of eyes will be on Indiana tomorrow. Stay cool, bros.
Yup—and there will be protests! So here are a few relevant pre-game primers:
- Indiana’s new “right-to-work” law is the legislative equivalent of Michele Bachmann saying hey you know maybe if we just got rid of the minimum wage entirely and let employers pay whatever they wished then everybody would have a job and we’d have zero unemployment!!
- The NFL Players Association opposes “right-to-work” legislation.
- [Quick style guide note: “Right-to-work” should always be written with scare quotes. Because it’s scary. And also bullshit!]
- The NFL and various media conglomerates stand to extract untold amounts of wealth from Sunday’s game, but Indianapolis taxpayers will be left on the hook to the tune of one million dollars.
- Fun fact: the NFL is a tax-exempt 501(c)(6), meaning its representatives don’t have to pay certain local food and beverage, fuel, hotel, and other sales taxes that would otherwise help Indianapolis offset the costs of hosting the event.
Ok, sorry, done being a downer. Go occupy your onion dip everybody!

On Jan. 4, The New York Times received a final response from the Defense Department to a FOIA request made on June 1, 1997. The department sent it by Federal Express, Priority Overnight.
Having mentioned that the Geneva Bible was used by Shakespeare, let me take this occasion to express my conviction that Othello is an extended pun on this pseudo-Pauline definition of faith. The word “faith”—in a variety of semantic contexts—punctuates that play from beginning to end, ever more intensely as Othello’s doubts about Desdemona’s faithfulness turn into false certainty. Through Iago’s manipulation of the evidence, Othello sees something that is not there. Yet it is Othello’s own lack of faith in her that causes him to see in Desdemona’s purloined handkerchief the material evidence of things not seen, i.e., her betrayal of him, which never took place.
I believe that the verse in question from the Letter to the Hebrews also seeped into the latent recesses of the opening sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” We should recall here that Jefferson and his colleagues made a minor revision to that sentence before presenting their draft to Congress. The prerevised version read: “We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable….” The difference between “self-evident” and “sacred” is considerable. From the point of view of enlightened reason, a self-evident truth is manifestly true. Its veracity does not need to appeal to external authority. A sacred truth, by contrast, has a transcendent source that lies beyond the bounds of confirmation by reason.
Yet what could be less self-evident—when one looked at history, nature, or human society in the eighteenth century—than the equality of men or government by consent of the governed? Everywhere one turned one saw only inequality and oppression, nowhere inalienable rights and consent of the governed. To whom, then, are the Declaration’s truths self-e
