Blogroll Update: Hendrik Hertzberg

After too long a delay, I've just added Hendrik Hertzberg to my blogroll.

Hertzberg works for The New Yorker, which means if you're less of a cultural savage than I am, you probably don't need a sell job. If by some strange chance you don't know of him, he's great, and I use that word sparingly. Have a look and set a bookmark. The latest three posts are a much-deserved harshing on Zev Chavets for fluffing Rush Limbaugh, a quick history and some thoughts on doing away with the Electoral College, and perhaps the Web's most succinct and proper reaction to the death of Jesse Helms.

Side rant: Annoyingly, it does not appear to be possible to subscribe to Hertzberg's feed alone. You can subscribe to a larger feed which gives you his stuff among others, most of which is also doubtless fine writing, but I, the self-centered user of the Web 2.0 era, want things served up exactly the way I want them. Hertzberg only posts once every few days, which means wading through/being distracted by tens of other posts just to check for new stuff from him. Get on this, will ya, New Yorker?

Anyway, never mind my griping. Go read.
