Atlantic
The reading list that is the sidebar continues to grow. I've added The Atlantic, which fills the niche that the New York Times once did, like a decade ago: a skeptical viewpoint, maybe even a bit liberal, but at least its writers treat you like you have a brain. The senior editor there, Jack Beatty (Daddy, why must all online bios have smug black-and-white photos?), who has been a fixture on VPR as far back as I can remember, presently writes us a jittery, eloquent piece that sums up nicely why I think fundamentalists of any stripe shouldn't be put in charge of governments.
