Cowboy R and the Reflections on American Culture
On Saturday morning, I tend to do a little web browsing on news sites. Less for the news, and more for interesting commentary on news. This particularly Saturday is also Halloween (for which, alas, I am doing nothing interesting this year). So this reflection by a BBC New York correspondent on Halloween, American style was fascinating. It also leads me to ask my foreign correspondents what their experience of Halloween at home is?
Then richardbrewer tossed out a link to this New York Times article written by a fellow with a Ph.D. in political science who works as a motorcycle mechanic. Again, even if you don't agree with the conclusions he draws, it's a great read.
