My new Rolling Stone arrived yesterday and I was thrilled to to see Barack Obama on the cover. (It sure beat the time that whats-his-face from High School Musical was on there.) No matter what side of the political fence you're sitting on its a first-class interview that you should check out. It covers everything from what Obama is rocking on his ipod, to his favorite Dylan song, to his three top priorities in his first term should he be elected. 
And while we're talking about Presidents, I am just finishing up Bill Clinton's Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World. If you're like me and sometimes feel a sense of hopelessness by all the negative news that gets reported, this is a refreshing book to read. Clinton profiles many extraordinary and innnovative acts of giving that are going on around the world. Many are associated with Clinton's own foundation, but many are simple but profound ideas and iniatives taken up by everyday folks. You're sure to find a story or two that will resonate with the issues that are nearest and dearest to your heart.
