• The Economist: Obama Better Watch Out -- Medea Benjamin Is Pissed!

  Medea Benjamin, kingmakerThe British, it seems, know San Franciscans better than we know ourselves. Wanna make a miniseries out of Tales of the City? Hire a British director and star. Wanna know where to tool around in town? Read the Telegraph. Wanna gauge the political power of local figures? Read The Economist. Well, two out of three ain't bad. The Economist still qualifies as one of the world's great magazines (other than its antediluvian practice of not affixing bylines to articles). So it w
