...science teachers are gone, and they got rid of the auto-shop classes and the welding classes. Those hands-on classes can get a lot of these kids turned on. I'm seeing more and more of the kids with Asperger's [a milder form of autism] getting held back. They are defining themselves as Asperger's first. I define myself as being a scientist first...
...white and above age 50, the movement is comprised of an eclectic mix of Ron Paul libertarians, George W. Bush social conservatives, hangovers from the 1992 Perot campaign, and states’ right-ers agitated by the mere idea of a National Tea Party Convention. Some want to form a third party, and others want to infiltrate the Grand Old Party.

From this dynamic, the most memorable moments are born: an entire number dedicated to the idea of a monkey riding a speedboat constructed around the theme of "Broadway musicals"; the hilarity of "What Kind...
...emerged as one of Europe's most varied design talents, producing work for the likes of Flos, Puma, Boffi and Cappellini. Like his peers Philippe Starck and Karim Rashid, Wanders has a penchant for the witty and the fantastical, with an instantly recognizable aesthetic that blurs the boundaries between form and function, organic and fabricated. It also comes with a dose of Mad Hatter craziness. A Wanders chair, for instance, may be fashioned from crocheted flowers or pieces of knotted resin. A stool arrives hewn from precisely cut doilies, a lamp is sheathed in weblike filaments. But the surrealism...
