Some interesting reads if you've gotten your fill of football already this weekend:
Jack Trice: Football Martyr - SBNation
Wojo's Pigskin Picks: Michigan-OSU has lost sizzle, needs spark - Detroit News. Usually he can be counted on for some good slams on Ohio State. I guess Michigan losing every year has taken the fun out of it for him.
Introducing the Weekly Glean - Modern Farmer. A new weekly set of links to ag news. One of this week's links- Benjamin Franklin's letter promoting the turkey as the national bird.
Can Breeders Cure What Ails Our Breast-Heavy Turkeys? - The Salt
Shorting Chickens Becomes Hot Trade After Prices Surge - Bloomberg
Thanksgiving in the Dust Bowl - James Fallows
Energy Quakes As OPEC Stands Pat - Wall Street Journal. See also, OPEC might get last laugh on oil - MarketWatch. I was tempted to short Continental Resources and other shale plays, but because I thought production would peak, not because prices would crater. Didn't do it, though.
Mystery of Scotch Whiskey Rings Solved [slide show] - Scientific American
Watch GE Test Its Jet Engines by Putting Them Through Hell - Wired. Cool shit.
Inside Elon Musk's $1.4 Billion Score - Fortune. Goddamn, corporate subsidies are such bullshit.
A Massacre in the Family - Wall Street Journal. Sand Creek.
'God is not a magician': Pope says Christians should believe in evolution and Big Bang - Raw Story
The Making of Ferguson - The American Prospect. Very interesting story highlighting racial segregation as government policy.
What a Difference Fourteen Years Make - Texas Monthly. 14 years of Rick Perry as governor.
