As a resident of Wisconsin I can confirm that that is, indeed, our governor Scott Walker. Looks like Slate has updated their caption, too.
Oh seriously? Huh. I can see how Slate effed this up. They look soooo similar:
Or I dunno maybe that's just my inability to distinguish faces. Which whoever runs the Slate photo galleries possibly shares. Thanks so much, though!
Do you accept pictures of this weird, sort of gross thing that's been growing on my foot for review? (I need a second opinion.)
No need for pictures. It's undoubtedly a manitou. Hire a shaman immediately.
Alright, I'm not gonna overthink it. 5 favorite songs by _____ band? How about 5 favorite songs by THE BAND. Go!

Okay, I'll bite on this issue you brought up a little while back: Chicago Style Manual is annoying as all get out. The comprehensiveness and attention to detail it touts as a strength is completely muddied by its overall lack of uniformity. The different "sanctioned" variations lead, at least on the editorial side, to more confusion and frustration than precision and clarity. While less comprehensive, APA is where it is at - simple, clean, and uniform. :: sassy snap of fingers ::
This is great! I do a ton of editing for school, and I'm confined to either CMS or another topic-specific manual. I'm always looking for a better style guide for my everyday writing, though, so I'll check out APA. I just love that the CMS is huge and responds to nearly every style issue that may arise. Just look at it:
Beautiful.
However, I do appreciate the APA's position on serial commas:
I'll definitely check out the APA's style manual!

That’s a 30 Rock line, right? So good.
No, if I'm not mistaken, I think it comes directly from the Bible.
Spending my evening reading all the Boston Review's Occupy the Future articles while watching Rosalind Russell's "tour-de-force" portrayal of Auntie Mame
And now I've got some DARPA thing to read too. Awareness can just be exhausting.
And campy!
Occupy the Future, thanks convincingindie
DARPA, thanks metaconscious
Serendipity.
