A man who has never said no to an offer to appear on E!, who tried out for The Real World, who loves it when Gawker mocks him, who has a "Joel Stein" RSS feed tapped directly into his veins, who is writing about himself in the third person.

...multitude of student groups at Harvard allows every individual to find his cause and promote it, but rarely causes collaboration with other extracurricular associations. RSS feeds and blogs customize information, leaving our generation perhaps better informed than any other previous ones, but informed selectively and self-centeredly. Facebook lets you add “causes” to your profile and find friends based on common interests and charities. But will the “1,000,000 strong for Barack” actually vote for him? Will thousands of blog readers board a bus in real life and stand...
