We're now deep in end-of-year-roundup season, where most of the paper's space is devoted to enervating canned features to allow the staff time off. It makes reading the paper in search of news pretty well pointless for probably another week or so.For the reader who hasn't shut down her frontal lobe for the duration, I have a few recommendations:
The Boston Globe has a succinct comparison of the differences that the House and Senate will have to resolve in their health-care bills.
The Guardian furnishes a first-person account of who killed the Copenhagen initiative -- maybe not who you'd expect.
A little obscure history on a serious, well-financed plot to install a fascist government in this country by military coup in 1933.
Enjoy!

Post a Comment
I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
