I don’t know what inspired this life introspective as seen through the eyes of a classic arcade game protagonist, but it seems to be the sort of thing that we post here, so I’ll just stop blabbing and comply.

Great story from the Consumerist about a New England Mom who feeds an entire family of children, dogs, and birds for less than $10 a week.
FYI, she does not accomplish this feat by slowly feeding the bird to the dog while slowly feeding the dog to the children. Apparently, Kathy Spencer is a coupon savant, and has fine tuned the art of discount shopping into something more akin to Subversive Promotional Manipulation.

Reihan Salam, in last week’s Foreign Policy, argued that this recession represents “The Death of Macho.” She cites an unemployment rate that is hitting male workers much more severely than female, and criticizes a culture of high risk, high leverage tactics which she associates with the macho business culture.
