Twitter has been going feature crazy over the past several months. First, it began attaching geolocation information to Tweets. Then it introduced lists , for sharing and for organizing the people you're following. Now, the micro-blogging service is rolling out a standardized format for retweets . While the location data is usually out of the average user's view, the new format for retweets is an...

T here was a time, long before Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, when Alex P. Keaton was the only conservative on TV. For most of the Reagan era, an estimated 35 million viewers tuned in week after week to watch the teenager, who was the ultimate disciple of the supply-side gospel. For him, it was always morning in America. He read the Wall Street Journal (of course), wore sweater vests, carried a briefcase...

Justine Bateman, (you know Mallory from Family Ties, Jason Bateman's older sister) apparently has no idea how to dress her cute figure. The knee-socks and clogs? The only thing worse would have been pairing those socks with CROCS. The hat? Appropriate for the outback but at the Los Angeles Farmer's Market? No!

Family Ties actress Justine Bateman has been a familiar face for so long that she is recognizable even with her face half-covered! She was spotted at LA’s Farmer’s Market with her children Duke and Olivia. The 43-year-old defies age in a black tummy-baring sleeveless tee, short shorts, black knee socks, clogs and a wide hat.

The Keatons -- Family Ties : The Keatons were prototypical white, middle class, former hippies who somehow found themselves mired in the 1980s. They were, essentially, most of my childhood friends and their parents, just a little bit older. The mom, Elyse, was a deep-thinking architect, while dad Steven worked for freaking public radio (perfect). And yet these liberal Baby Boomers managed to produce...

So Justine Bateman, you know, Mallory Keaton from Family Ties , completely lost her cool this morning with a bunch of people on Twitter. She kept noticing people she doesn't follow showing up in her tweet stream and proceeded to publicly call them all "shitheads." Of course, what she doesn't realize is that this really is a feature and not a bug. And it could spell some trouble for Twitter...

Fox had contended in this guest actor category in 2006 for a guest spot on "Boston Legal" (he lost to Christian Clemenson on that same show). Fox's four other Emmy wins came for comedy - three consecutive lead actor awards for "Family...

Adam Smith's Lost Legacy (Free subscription) | 09/09/2009
Members of the History of Economics ought to know better but so deep is the disinformation about Adam Smith (the one born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, in 1723, not the one invented in Chicago in the 1930s) that an almost futile (its too serious to be utterly laughable) exercise is under way. A member is giving a “an interactive lecture” to a “ non-academic community on the invisible...

One of then-16-year-old Cindy Crawford's first modelling jobs was for a store in Chicago. This involved her modelling underwear, as seen above. She looks kind of like Justine Bateman there (allowing you a chance to imagine what Mallory from Family Ties would have looked like had the series been run by the folks behind Married... With Children ). But with a mole. And prettier. Though I have to say,...
