This is Water - by David Foster Wallace and The Glossary

A terrific commencement speech from David Foster Wallace to the graduating class of 2005 at Kenyon College with visuals by The Glossary.

THIS IS WATER - By David Foster Wallace from The Glossary on Vimeo.

From The Glossary:
In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.

The Glossary made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested.

Read the full speech here.

Campaign Reform Now - Congressman Pitches Campaign Donor's Product By Insulting 4-Star General

Another reason why we need to really reform campaign fundraising and lobbying....



In an effort to draw attention to himself to score political points and satisfy donors and lobbyists, junior Congressman Duncan Hunter Jr. has repeatedly accused the Army of failing to provide Soldiers with the latest intelligence processing technology. He's obviously shilling for the company he references, Palantir.

Rather than compete for work like all other commercial product providers, Palantir spends nearly $600,000 per year lobbying Congress to force the Army to buy their product.

Here's Palantir's chief lobbyist, Terry Paul campaigning for Junior. Paul is a close Hunter family friend and has donated thousands to Hunter's campaigns.

From General Odierno's response, it's pretty clear that he has had enough of the Congressman's nonsense. See what Mr. Hunter doesn't want you to know about his connections to the Palantir lobby.
