The Econmist is probably my favorite non-skin magazine. It's chock full of information, but I think the real key to it's greatness is the fact that it has the best caption writers in the business.
ex. The caption above an article on people jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge reads:Making Suicide less easy might be a good idea.Discuss

and then on the actual picture of the bridge the caption reads:Too Easy to Jump from.

Any it's a great magazine, and if more South Ovalities read it, the level of political discourse would be raised a Great deal.

I read it every week for the last 3 years of high school and my freshman year in collage. I loved it.
