Modern Day Drifter

For this year's edition of totally pointless elections (excluding the most colossally worthless of them all in November, of course), head over to Foreign Policy and cast your vote for the top 5 Public Intellectuals, or, as I like to call them, the individuals to whom people who want to appear smarter than they actually are because they cannot critically think for themselves incessantly refer.

The new joint blog, Fives, finally has a banner and a few entries to browse through.  It's nothing more than lists of our five favorite things in whatever category we feel like choosing on our given day to post.  Over time, we hope that the site evolves into a place where others can submit their own lists as well.  So please check it out and if you like it, tell your friends about it.  And if you find yourself with five minutes to kill, or any multiple thereof, please jot down a list and send it in.  Internet fame is only five clicks away.  Or five minutes, or five searches, or five...well, you get the idea.
