Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback

The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:

This week in environmental news, the Norwegians have finished the Doomsday Seed Vault in the arctic, and Salon has a great story on climate science.

Noam Chomsky weighs in on terrorism and perception.

In economics this week, The American Prospect says President Bush is only half to blame for the economy, Alternet also chimes in. Talking Points Memo wonders why liberals surrender their kids to conservative hostage takers, and the Financial Times Of London reports the dollar has hit a new low. Think Progress reports on the cost of Iraq and its relation to the economy.

Attacks on Barack Obama from both sides this week brought out stories on the myth of the wussy poet and the audacity of hoplessness.

Finally this week, an important story on the dangerous precipice occupied by fascism (the merging of corporate and government interests, by definition) in regards to free speech.
