Weekly Allowance March 11th, 2010
You’ve been with me for more than two months. You’ve done your chores – read and commented. So I think it’s time I paid you your allowance. Here are the posts, articles, and interviews from the past week that I’ve found most interesting.
Media Watchdogs: This 12-minute video clip interviews various media personalities about the responsibilities of the press, the market for Fox News, and why The Daily Show and Colbert Report have risen to a level of unexpected relevance in the greater media landscape.
Undercover Boss: Arianna Huffington’s piece on a new reality show that exposes the magnitude of the chasm that exists between corporate executives and their low-level employees. I thought about writing a post in response to this piece, but it’s already expressed so eloquently here, I decided just to pass it along.
A Lard Story: The Kitchen Witch’s post on her love of lard (and the flaky things that it creates) is a riot. If you need a laugh (or a recipe) go read it now!
Chocolate Soufflé Cupcakes: This is the recipe I’m most eager to make, but haven’t yet.

Oh Gale! Your friends are never going to forgive you for sending them to the lard story!
Thank you! My day is officially made!

Fabulous! I always accept payment in good reading recommendations, brownies, or hugs.

Hi Gale!
!) I can’t promise I’ll comment everyday as the aftermath of the trial has meant I am busier (and more in-demand) than I was before, but I’ll be here.
It is “D,” your fellow commenter from Ivy League Insecurities. I wanted to let you know that when you first replied yesterday, I was confused because the Gale I knew was “blue” like me, ie, blog-less. Good for you for starting this, you always struck me as incredibly smart and insightful in your comments on ILI and I’m sure the blog amplifies this. Sorry I am late to the table to “visit” you but as you know I was on trial until very recently. (Time stopped for me in November, I’m still wondering where my Christmas went
Congratulations!
D
