So, I get way too many magazines. And a lot of the time, I have a bunch of little things to say about various articles in one of ’em, but I’m either not sure any of ’em really merits their own post, or I think they might, but I feel somehow silly doing four posts in a row about different things in the last New Republic or whatever. So I’m thinking I’m going to start doing a series of weekly-ish posts I’ll call MagRack (hey, you think of a better one, punk) wherein I just round up whatever random thoughts I’ve got about the most recent issue of Periodical X whenever I’ve got a little to say about a lot of articles rather than a bunch to say about one article. It’s not going to be a Cliifs Notes, and I’m sure as hell not going to hit every piece in each issue; it’ll just be a “stuff that caught my eye” roundup. I figure over the next couple days, I’ll probably hit The New Republic, National Review, Harpers, The Weekly Standard, and maybe Esquire.
