Granted, the work of Traister and Waldeman are not my cup of chai, but I will read ANYTHING by Joan Walsh, even an article about a neurotic psuedo-stay-at-home mom.
As a former newspaper reporter I have to say: Joan rocks, people! I miss seeing more of her writing now that she's the Big Cheese, but I think she's one of the most insightful, sober, balanced, sane and interesting journalists in this country and her editorship is a big reason why I trust Salon as a publication much more than most.
I'm not sucking up or anything, I'm just sayin'....
