Hi, reddit. If you haven't been paying attention, we know Stephen is a fan of reddit. But because his schedule is so busy, we haven't been able to get him for an AMA interview. Since I'm going to probably have a good chance of asking him <one> question, what should it be?

I rang the doorbell of my ex-husband Larry's house, a jar of gefilte fish in one hand, boxed coconut cake in the other. To date I'd been to the house on Thunder Lake only to drop off the kids. But today I was here with my husband, Eric, and two stepchildren, Luke and Jamie, for Seder dinner.

Much of the buzz in smartphone circles in the last year or two -- at least the part that hasn't gone to Apple and the iPhone -- has focused on HTC, the Taiwanese manufacturer that makes some of the slickest mobile hardware around. It was HTC, for example, that Google chose to make its Nexus One, the model I have been carrying around since early this year.

The great political failure of the 1960s was the New Left's inability to bring the labor movement into its great liberationist tent. There were lots of reasons for that, one of them being that most big union leaders didn't want to be in that stinky tent with a lot of hippies, feminists, dashiki-wearing black militants and "fags." (That last comes from AFL-CIO leader George Meany's description of the New York delegation to the disastrous 1972 Democratic convention: "They've got six open fags and only three AFL-CIO representatives!") Also, not a small matter: The New Left opposed the Vietnam War; again, most labor leaders supported it.

Here's a sad truth about TV: Despite the potential to evolve over the course of several seasons, most TV characters remain stagnant, doing little more than imitating themselves season after season. Likewise, most TV shows have one or two good seasons, and once the show's creator departs for a multimillion-dollar development deal elsewhere, the remaining writers try to replicate the show's best episodes over and over again.

So was in town this morning and thought I'd pick up a form from the Disney Store for a part time job advertised online. So it's about 8.50, I can see the staff inside just getting ready to open so I just wait outside. In a few minutes one of the staff open the front door and I go to ask for an application form. She told me the store wasn't open yet but she wanted me to "help open the store." I politely laughed and she insisted I came in. I noticed a velvet rope with a giant prop padlock on it and then all of a sudden the lights dimmed and epic Disney music started blasting. Fucking tinkerbell started flying around the store and projections of fireworks started going off and then out of the darkness, A WOMAN COMES SOLEMNLY CARRYING A 3 FOOT FUCKING KEY OVER HER HEAD. I was presented the key and opened the store. I was given a miniature key for keeps. I walked out and couldn't stop laughing, composed myself and went home. THEY DO THIS EVERY MORNING.
EDIT: Here's a picture of the key I got.

A single question came to mind when I heard that Craigslist had taken down its "adult services" section on Saturday: Where will sex workers turn next? So far, the answer seems to be … Craigslist.
