I enjoy Adbusters Magazine. It is a Canadian publication, edgy, transgressive, full of social criticism. I find the writing stimulating, even when I do not happen to agree with the writers point of view. I also enjoy the graphic elements within the publication. I willingly pay $14.95 for a copy.

I’ve never thought of Nietzsche as having a good joke. Granted he was a good writer. If he were alive I do not think he’d be hired to write comedy skits for Saturday Night Live. His biting sardonic wit is an acquired taste. Yesterday I read for a few minutes from one of my…
