The Brief, March 23: Stripper Jobs, Organic Hype

Monday Briefing runs the gamut today. Whether you're 16 or 90, we've got proof that altruism lives in the midst of this greedy, greedy world. Watch de Rossi's PSA ... she certainly should be sorry, for crying out loud. How is SXSW giving back? And how will decluttering change your life? (Or is Oprah's clean campaign full of hot air?)

Organic ain't the end-all. Cheap or gross indeed. To clean or not to clean. Decluttering for a better mental state. Portia de Rossi is so sorry to have burdened all the gay-haters out there. Poor things. Dirty germs. Where to spot 'em; how to zap 'em. There's still time to pay-pay South By Southwest's (SXSW) first social media experiment for good. What do strip clubs, census bureaus, beauty schools and the Navy have in common? Kid, age 16, could teach greedy corporate types a thing or two about money well spent. 90-year-old priest already hip to kid's well-spent ways.
