First, let me give thanks for winning the natural lottery in about a million different ways from the country and class status I was born into, to the family and remarkable parents I have, to the astoundingly brilliant, righteous and loving spouse I’ve somehow ended up with. None of it any more deserved than hitting the jackpot at a craps table. “Lucky’ doesn’t even begin to do the necessary semantic work.

Now, for some links to stuff I found interesting over the weekend

1) Via Ezra, here’s George Saunders at the Googleplex.

2) David Warsh on Alan Greenspan’s suckiness

3) Katha Pollitt on Norman Mailer
