Making Do: The Martian
How long would you survive on a desert island? Most of us wouldn’t outlast our iPhone batteries. That’s why we love movies where intrepid can-do guys are stranded in harsh conditions and make a go of it with just a pocket knife, a gum wrapper and a frazzled shoelace.
Such a man is Mark Watney (Matt Damon), stranded on Mars after his ship departs, his crewmates thinking him dead. (Not their fault, he’s the first to point out.) , And Mars is even worse than your average desert island, where you can at least breath the air and enjoy a seafood diet.

The Planned Parenthood Witch Trial
Under the guise of a congressional “investigation”, Republican seat-moisteners lawmakers are trying to do to Planned Parenthood what they did to ACORN some seven years ago. This time, though, it isn’t working. This is mostly because Planned Parenthood has a broader and politically stronger constituency than ACORN ever did, and because the videos that anti-abortion activists have circulated that purport to show Planned Parenthood executives bartering for fetal body parts were so obviously doctored and unfairly edited.
