I thought politics was a no-no here?

I suspect it's really more political debating on HN that's an issue. It's so close to the election most of us are likely looking at political news in another tab, anyways.

You're probably right. It was more meant as a subtle hint instead of the all too common "not hacker news" comments.

Besides, not all of us are from the US...

I love that magazine. It's hard to get such a global perspective from any other periodical.

It's very good for getting an easily digestible survey of world news, but the business and economic analysis articles are horrible. It's all so "pop" and way behind the curve if you read better newsletters. It's also annoyingly leftist and pro-war; they pushed hard for the Iraq invasion, for example.

"annoyingly leftist and pro war" - that's not a combination you hear every day.
