Coincidences, some reading material, Obama, ...

No coincidence, of course, that the Huffington Post has an 'exclusive' with anti-religion scientist Richard Dawkins right next to alternative medicine writer Deepak Chopra an article slanted pro-religion...
Just thought I'd point that out, not to surprising or unprecedented... just coincidental.

For those who want current event reading material, there is a good NYT article here on N. Korean nationalism (including its history) and the always-interesting-to-me Slate political Zeitgeist Checklist, which contains links if you really want to read more of 'what Washington is talking about'.

For those interested in Apple or business and technology news, this article on Apple head honcho Steve Job's meticulous influence on the iPod may be your thing. Economics or sociological statistics your thing? This Time magazine feature called "America by the numbers" might spark your interest (if you are really that interested, look at the tons of polls and polling data here).

Making major headlines and buzz in the blogosphere: the potential run for US president by Sen. Obama (D-IL). Is the Obama [news/political] craze of a couple years ago coming back?

And there might yet be some progress in American policy regarding Iraq.

I should be getting the State of Denial book tomorrow [afternoon] or the next day. I will try to pump out one or two more North Korea and/or Iraq analyses in the mean time. Speaking of anyalsis and, touching on this blog's core (perspective), this CJR Daily article is interesting; an overview the media coverage of the North Korean situation.
