Great links: Everything you need to spend the day reading, not shopping

DOWNTOWN LANCASTER ON WEDNESDAY

I'm all for a vibrant and robust American economy, but you really don't want to go out shopping today, do you? Assuming that you're not working, wouldn't it be more relaxing to spend part of the day catching up on some smart and stimulating reading?

Here's my latest collection of great links that caught my eye, broken down into longer and shorter reads. I hope you find some of them enjoyable.

LONG, AWESOME READS

SHORTER READS and PHOTO-CENTRIC POSTS

Footnotes
1. Full disclosure: Blanchard is a tremendous editor and was a colleague of mine when I worked at the York Daily Record/Sunday News.
2. That story contains an infuriating quote from Gunter Guy, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. With regard to spending $60 million on a beachfront hotel and conference center, with those funds coming from the money that BP is paying out to remedy environmental damage from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, Guy states: "Sure, we could try to spend that on some more quote-unquote environmental projects, but we chose to do it on what we did because we think it's the right thing to do."
