The Reading List

fatmanatee:

Just FYI… one weekly’s decision to run a cover story about a certain governor from way up north has them banned from this reading list until further notice.  YOU HEAR THAT, GUYS?  YOU’RE BANNED FROM MY BLOG.  WORD UP.

Newsweek on why Ladies Love Cool Vampires - I don’t know.

Ted Kennedy writes about universal healthcare for Newsweek

Newsweek on Kim Jong Il’s sons - If they didn’t want to bomb us, this would be REALLY hilarious.  Instead, it is kinda hilarious.

Newsweek on Anya Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winner and another guy who saw the economic meltdown coming but is completely ignored by Washington - Otherwise known as “Why yes, our country is headed for the crapper and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Frank Bruni of NYTimes on his own bulimia (wha?)

NYTimes on healthcare

Sports Business News on the decline of sports journalism - Via one of my faves,http://twitter.com/wyshynski

New Yorker on Mos Def and Talib Kweli as kids - Not only is it an article about the guy featured in my favourite concert of the past year (Kweli at the Museum of Natural History… YES, REALLY), but it was written by Doree!  Alas, it’s available to subscribers only.

Malcolm Gladwell on overconfidence - I look forward to the backlash.

Salon’s Rabbit Bites interviews Fred Willard - Yeah, it’s video, not really reading, BUT IT’S FRED WILLARD.

Salon interviews Dave Eggers on lots of stuff

The Toronto Star on what we can learn from Canada’s healthcare - What is this?  I’m linking Toronto Star articles?  Blame Canada, or at the very least, Mel, for this one.

Thanks for this
