Queued on the Kindle

Between rehearsals, work, and life, I haven't had a lot of time during the day to goof off keep abreast of world developments. So here's what got sent to my Kindle just today:

• Fallows on Sebastian Junger's response to previous blog posts on the U.S. military (read through the history—it's really interesting)
• TPM on Yitzhak Rabin and Binyamin Netanyahu
• The Daily WTF with a tale from the interview
• Chicago History Today on Mayor Martin Kennelly
• The Washington Post on Gerbils being responsible for the Black Death
• Tom Skilling on our persistent cold weather in Chicago, and why the rest of the continent is so warm

Also, if you live in Chicago, go vote today.
