My long "Almost the end of the Chinese New Year" post
Hey, when I did my New Year's resolutions last year, I told one of you to remind me about it! I've just gotta do all the work around here I guess...
for those of you keeping score at home, here's how I did against my drunkenly proposed goals from 2005:
( percentage points good enough for the baseball hall of fame, at least )

Z Magazine
From the link above - ...founded in 1988, is an independent monthly of critical thinking on political, cultural, social, and economic life in the U.S. Z Magazine is available in print and online. The print magazine is most often 64 pages, with articles of many lengths and focuses.
In These Times
(for some reason which has me pretty paranoid, I can't get into their website - I get a "Forbidden" message, although I have visited it many, many times in the past.) This is great- a really "easy" read that almost makes you think you are reading something with less content than you really are. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about it all.
The Nation
We actually subscribe to this one right now. We had to cut down on the number of magazines we subscribe to, and fishmael prefers this one. Just don't trust the movie reviews (or most of the "cultural" information). Really great read, but a bit dry at times.
The Progressive
I love this one, although my subscription lapsed in '06. I need to change that. It is a fast read, a slim magazine, but it is smart and interesting and covers a range of topics. The interviews are my favorite part. Subscribe.
And Here is who Utne (another one I like, but it isn't really about the same thing as the above, although at times it touches on politics, etc.) gave Independent Press Awards to this year. Make sure you check out the nominees and not just the winners.
Happy reading.

This is enough to get me going for awhile. Of all of those, I've only checked out The Progressive before and I've long heard of the Nation and seen it on stores but have never picked one up. Not familiar with the others. Looks like a trip to the bookstore is in order! Thank goodness my budget resolution deals only with books and not magazines...
