01/02/2008: "HOBART; THE BEAST"

Hi All,

Two quick links. One is to the magazine HOBART, whose recent issue is a America/Canada mashup with two different editors---Pasha Malla, a great Canadian writer, was responsible for the canuck half---and includes some fine writers from both sides of the 49th parallel. Check it out and, to quote the old gypsy woman in THE SIMPSONS: "You buy! You buy!"

...and second, The Buffalo Beast's list of 50 most Loathesome People in America 2007. I'm not usually one who goes in for "snark" journalism, and by the end of this I'd had my fill, but I recall I enjoyed the list last year and this year was the same. You'll disagree with some of the choices, I'm sure, but that's half the fun.

All best, Craig.
