Sean Penn becomes more and more unlikable every year...
to be fair, you seem to like everyone less and less every year
He seems to seek out opportunities to flaunt himself while purporting to be "truth seeking". Sorry if I can't find that likable.

CNN Highlights for Shel:

Story highlights

Raul A. Reyes: It was a mistake for Rolling Stone to send a celebrity rather than a journalist
Seasoned journalist could have asked drug lord Joaquin Guzman tough questions, he says
Reyes: Guzman able to get away with claiming he only uses violence in self-defense

And the best lines are the last:
In any case, Penn's personal views do not justify consorting with a convicted drug trafficker and prison escapee. Penn's actions are an insult to the U.S. and Mexican authorities who have pursued Guzman as well as to the countless victims of drug violence. Still, in his article, Penn writes of Guzman's "warm smile" and "indisputable charisma." His courting of a monster is inexcusable and despicable.

Penn's interview with Guzman is a sad example of journalism. Shame on Penn, del Castillo and Rolling Stone for irresponsibly promoting themselves -- and for glorifying a drug lord.

Thanks for the ShelNotes, and it's good to see Raul Reyes has found a post-retirement job after a solid OOTP career.

Cuban's advice to the person who wins the $1.4 bil. Interesting stuff. That's probably good advice for lots of folks, but certainly not all.
1 excerpt:
•Tell all your friends and relatives no. They will ask. Tell them no. If you are close to them, you already know who needs help and what they need. Feel free to help SOME, but talk to your accountant before you do anything and remember this, no one needs 1m dollarsfor anything. No one needs 100k for anything. Anyone who asks is not your friend.
Corey asked for exactly $1mil if I won. That son of a!!!

Is it really a "cheesteak" if its chicken? Never understood that.

Anything buffalo flavored is good in my book.

I was talking to my wife the other day and my 2 favorite foods among all the things I love:

Mashed potatoes
Soup. Any kind of soup.

I am such a sucker for either of those. Sure we all love pizza, wings, etc.

Fiance is Hispanic and no mashed potatoes are better than ones served with green chile

Not long for soup myself. I'll eat some creamy tomato with a grilled sandwich or some roast chicken ramen and that's about it
