motherjones: When Will Steger was 15 years old, he and his brother piloted an old motorboat down the Mississippi River from Minnesota to New Orleans. At 17, he journeyed to the Arctic. At 41, he became the first man in history to travel unsupported to the North Pole and come back alive. He’s traveled across Antarctica by sled (another first), hopped freights, and found his purpose at a mountain monastery. Will Steger is, if not the most interesting man in the world, almost certainly The Most Interesting Man in Northern Minnesota. So why’d Tim Pawlenty leave him out in the cold? MJ’s Tim Murphy reports. Photo courtesy of the Will Steger Foundation.

Mitt Romney Haunted By Past Of Trying To Help Uninsured Sick People | The Onion

“Romney, who signed the state’s 2006 health care reform act, has said he “deeply regrets” giving people in poor physical and mental health the opportunity to seek medical attention, admitting that helping very sick people get better remains a dark cloud hovering over his political career, and his biggest obstacle to becoming president of the United States of America.”

Almost Dawn in Libya: Chris & Tim, Heading Home.

cjchivers:

We’re numb here as the clock nears 4:30 a.m., and we’re not quite sure what to do. The deaths of Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington on Tripoli Street still seem unreal. Bryan just walked off from the little space we’ve been huddled in, working. He’ll sleep soon, I hope. The work kept us busy…
