Best blogosphere places to be on Mondays

I start my week with a visit to Clusterfuck Nation, written by the author of


which is a book I wholeheartedly recommend.

Then I pop into Money and Markets just to see how wonky the global economic outlooks are.

My copy of The Economist drops in my real life mailbox on Monday mornings and I give it a fast skim. (Roo steals it for the week when he returns from work & gives me the past week's edition for a thorough reading. I don't mind being a week behind and anyway, I can always go online to catch up on whatever important current thing is. I'm also trying out the podcast thingie - having The Economist read out loud to me by calm British voices is quite nice. But the entire magazine is almost 9 hours!)

Having reassured myself that, yes indeed, things are still crap, and understanding now why I have no money to invest in any of the sectors "Money & Markets" thinks will dodge the fallout from the saggy balloon which is our economy, I can start my week. It's a wonder I don't just crawl back into bed and refuse to come out.

Thanks for the link. I like Kunstler's books. Just finished The Geography of Nowhere about the history and dreadfulness of the suburbs, and am nearly through with the follow-upHome From Nowhere which discusses remedies to suburban sprawl. The Long Emergency is sometimes criticized as alarmist and farfetched, but I think forewarned is forearmed.

And by the way, Amelia and her dress are both gorgeous!
