Reading Links

If your workday is slow, as mine often is, good reading can be a lifesaver. Here are a few places I recommend if you'd like to get your mind going. Granted, these are places where I have enjoyed reading, so they may or may not be your cup of tea:

• On the Square. A blog for First Things: The Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life. Recent topics include "The Violence of Double Standards" and "Where are the Prophets?"
• Tomorrow, April 4, is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. CNN is currently running an article on MLK through the eyes of King's sister, Christine, who would like us to remember her brother as a regular guy, not "some mythic character from out of space."
• This one's for David Chambers. TIME magazine just ran a cover story titled, "The Clean Energy Scam." Here's the article. (warning: this article is not short)
• Way to go, Benny the Bull. Finally, Chicago Bulls fans have something to laugh about that isn't the team's unique ability to blow double-digit leads during the 4th quarter.

I leave you with this NBA-related thought: Chris Paul for MVP.
