Two from The Sideshow

• I haven't talked about the suicide of Aaron Swartz.  I didn't know him, although I've used RSS a time or two.  Other people who did know him were far more eloquent.  Avedon posted a number of links to remembrances of Mr. Swartz, and Arthur Silber addresses depression. 
• And then Avedon thrashes Matt Yglesias, who apparently doesn't understand Social Security.  I would guess he doesn't know very many old people.  He probably thinks we can all be charladies and janitors or something.  Y'know, this is about to turn into a rant.
