Anderson Cooper saving a boy in Haiti during a shooting. A slab of concrete was dropped of the boys head.

Anderson fucking Cooper, everyone. 

Some journalists like to be strictly observers. they don’t intervene, they don’t participate. they just document what they see, even if what they see is terrible. But the way I see it, journalists don’t exist in a vacuum. They are human beings, living and working in a very human environment. And that humanity is essential in relating to their stories. When you lose your humanity, you lose any kind of journalistic integrity you have left.

There are a lot of American knockoffs in the Kurdish parts of northern Iraq: Burger Queen is Burger King’s twin, and instead of Papa John’s, people get their pizza at PJ’s.

The latest knockoff comes courtesy of Kurdish businessman Shihab Shihab after he decided he’d like to live in the White House. So he’s building one for himself, his wife and his child — a mere 50 miles or so from a raging war against the Islamic State.
