Weekend Reading: While You Were Off Having A Life

I know it's sort of a pain but you should really also be following me on Twitter (@alexanderrusso) and Facebook. Just in case you haven't gotten to that yet, here are some of the best things from over the weekend:

Also: Thanks to everyone who told me that my "From Jay Mathews" tweets -- my long-running effort to make sure his stuff makes it into social media -- had been flipped with Valerie Strauss's posts.  I'm working on getting the feeds sorted out.

I very much appreciate your effort to make sure his stuff gets into social media. Ever since the Post started limiting page views, I use your tweets for his stuff.

I should have realized after the second tweet that it was something automated. Sorry for growling at you.
