Salon never ceases to amaze me. Here’s an article comparing the depth of CS Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia to the vapidity of L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz. How come British children get all the good shit (Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter), and us yanks get Barnie, Aunt Em, and Mister Rogers. Well, we did get The Muppets, but then Jim Hensen went and died on my birthday a few years ago (same with Doctor Seuss! Both died on May 16th).

Can I voice again that my dream jobs are to work for either Salon, or the Utne Reader? Maybe some day.
