As I said in the review, it's ...

Make like Santa without the aid of trimmings or trappings. Cow-shaped happiness. While the Charm-i-days gift guide mostly falls on the Things & Totems end of the spectrum, the intent with everything the Charm-o-Matic generates is meaningful celebration. Not the kind of glib obliviousness to the world's suffering that gives happiness a bad name, but an intelligent way of finding what's good in the world and making more of it. ...

Are you truly surprised that I'm joining more challenges? At least this week there's only four new ones to add. (Although, as always, I refuse to rule out the possibility of joining more later!) I thought, since I'm sure there are those of you who think I'm certifiably insane, that I would share my reading challenge philosophy. I look at challenges as the perfect excuse/impetus to put together reading lists. That's why I usually end up ...

This week, Time named Fed chair Ben Bernanke its Person of the Year. The magazine says its choice is "not an award," but rather a recognition of the person who "most influenced the news during the past year -- for good or for ill." Based on that criterion, Time should, without a doubt, have picked Washington lobbyists -- because no person or group was more influential in 2009.
