Friday Three-Link Salad
Sep. 18th, 2009 09:48 amSome links for your Friday viewing pleasure:
1) The Page 1 story in the Chicago Tribune yesterday was 17-year old gets sick, loses insurance. It's yet another article about how, in America's health care system, "the best in the world," you can pay for coverage yet not get it.
2) On a lighter note, there's been a brouhaha about how established writers don't want to read your manuscript. Well, for a price, Jim Wright will be glad to read them. It's an amusing read - one of the many punchlines is under "Type of critique you’d like." My favorite there is: "Please blow smoke up my ass until my colon is like beef jerky."
3) Lastly, Geoffrey Chauncer, author of The Canterbury Tales, has a blog. Well, he's been readinge of teenage sparklie vampyres! It's a hoot (hat tip Making Light.)
