Another SlushPile Hell contest was held Thursday on Twitter. And there was much rejoicing.
We asked you to come up with THE WORST SELF-HELP BOOK…EVER (yeah, I know, we did the same thing with children’s books last week—are you surprised?). Too many entries to count this time, and a wealth of…

The Takeaway:
Billions on Intelligence Contractors; Continued Oil Impact; Army Suicides; DIY Mental Health; Raising 'Bad Seeds'
- The Takeaway
I co-hosted The Takeaway this morning with Todd Zwillich - here’s a link in case you were sleeping. We covered the Washington Post piece co-authored by Dana Priest on the Secret Nation of intelligence contractors, took a look at the disturbing Army suicide numbers from last month, tried to figure out how good parents can raise bad seeds and talked to a marine toxicologist who actually dove into the oil spill in the Gulf.
I’m ready for a nap.

Stephen Colbert as a United Farm Worker? They’re offering all their jobs in the field to any documented American who will take them…..and Colbert is the fourth to sign up. Great interview with Arturo Rodriguez.

What are your picks for summer reading? Alan Furst wants something he won’t have to write about, Kate Moses wants dessert, Elif Batuman wants romance, Teddy Wayne wants tennis…..and Gary Schteyngart wants romance and dystopia.

So, I’m standing on a little bridge in San Simeon, Calif., looking down at the elephant seals flopped out on the beach below and I can’t help but remark that the seals look a lot like guys who have partied a little too hard and are sleeping it off. “Yeah,” says the cute guy next to me, “that’s how I feel.”
Turns out it’s Scott, the bass player for the Growlers. Next to him is Brooks, the lead singer. We did a show in NYC - what? two weeks ago? - and now here we all are, looking at elephant seals.
For the record: The Growlers are way more alert than elephant seals. Here’s the video of our show, which is up at bn.com/upstairs.

Killer show tonight at “Upstairs at the Square” with Gavin McInnes as our author and The Growlers as our musical guests. The former drove in from Southern California on “Brandy,” their former school bus turned tour bus and I couldn’t resist the chance to get a snap with Brandy. We’ll post the show as soon as we edit out the nasty bits.

"It appears, that I have … entirely by accident … developed a manifesto. Let me tell you how this happened. So, because I am an author and am generally presentable and have shoes and things … and because I spend a lot of time online . ."
