Glenn Greenwald
My dissertation is finished and submitted, and I'm spending a few days or weeks taking it easy before starting on the next thing that I am doing, namely, working just enough hours in Taste (St. Andrews coffee shop) to support my playing a few hours of piano a day. Next year, if I get funding somewhere and don't change my mind again or start making money from music (however that could arise), I'll start a Ph.D., perhaps in moral philosophy or the intersection of moral philosophy and aesthetics.
But anyway, I'm spending most of this short break I'm giving myself reading (and relaxing and spending time with friends); especially, I've started reading a lot of current-events analysis. Notably, I've started reading, on
onawintersday's (inadvertent?) recommendation, Glenn Greenwald's blog on Salon.com. I am - so far at any rate - absolutely loving it; and I recommend it. This is primarily what this post is doing, recommending it. Greenwald makes the same sort of erudite and furious far-left critique as Chomsky, so if you like that sort of thing, then it's especially recommended.
