Michael Kinsley on the state of newspapers in America.
Kinsley is one of my favorite columnists, though he seems to write two or three columns for some magazine or website, then disappear, then reappear somewhere else. Some of this probably has to do with his ongoing battle with Parkinson's Disease (written about here). He's written some excellent pieces about how insane it is to block stem-cell research — which could help millions of people, himself included — because the process vaguely reminds some people of abortion. He's hard to find but usually worth the hunt.
