News? None-news? My (former) google reader feed highlights: Political/Economic Commentary: * Crooked Timber * Jacobin Blog * The Monkey Cage * The Atlantic Politic's channel * Matt Bruenig very recently added. ---- News: * Politico * Taegan Goddard's Political Wire * Of course BBC and NYT as well. * Election News: Daily Kos Elections (formerly Swing State Project) --- Stuff that I can't categorize (in the ETC folder)
The Paris Review is great if you are interested in reading about writing, reading good writing, or especially reading about writers (poets and prose). They house all of their interviews, going back as far as the '60s, for free online. There's a very fun one with Vonnegut which is really 5 different interviews Vonnegut cobbled together. Technically, he interviews himself. I recommend it!
That reminds me of Tom Waits interviewing Tom Waits: http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2008/05/an_interview_with_...
Thanks for these, I've been enjoying the Matt Bruenig site. I just posted this: http://hubski.com/pub?id=81707 from it.
