Blogcritics Editors' Picks: June 14 through June 20 - Page 3

CULTURE

From Culture Editor Diana Hartman:

David Flanagan addresses many issues in the ongoing fray between the ideas of mothers working in the home and outside the home in Linda Hirshman's Narrow Definition of "Work".

From Executive Producer Eric Berlin:

Yes, I know, everyone loves The Duke. But for great reason, nay, reasons, I contend! I'll say no more, just read his latest whimsical/phantastical/wankalogical Pop Cult Mind Wax column and you'll see what everyone's on about.

POLITICS

From Politics Editor Dave Nalle:

Election 2008: Gentlemen and Ladies, Start your Engines by Mark Schannon
A detailed introduction to the 2008 election with some interesting insights.

From Asst. Politics Editor Mark Schannon:

I've been bad this week, not spending enough time reading the posts, but the one I was most impressed with was Diana Hartman's The New American Dream, which is a passionate yet rational appeal for people to understand what the military goes through in situations such as Iraq and to stop making snap judgments every time the media highlights a civilian death.

SPORTS

From Sports Editor Matthew T. Sussman:

Media Off Base on Woods at U.S. Open by Zach Baker
The "Instant Z-Play" gets another A+ in his look at sports journalists expecting — nay, practically willing — Tiger Woods to a victory at the U.S. Open after his father's death, when it's the golfers who dictate the outcome, not the writers. (Tiger didn't even make the cut.)

Australia Falls to Brazil 0-2, But the Socceroos Should Celebrate by Natalie Bennett
To understate and paraphrase our managing bookworm: Australian soccer? Used to be kinda bad.

GAMING

From Gaming Editor Ken Edwards:

PS2 Review: Pump It Up: Exceed by Aaron Auzins
It's just like DDR, but not.

Mac Game Review: Call Of Duty 2 by Cameron Graham
So what if it came out in October for PC, it is still worth the purchase if you have a Mac (that can run it).

SCI/TECH

No picks this week due to a vacationing section editor!
