New York Times Roulette

Chat roulette for the newsie in all of us.
I have no method-to-my-madness for reading online news, but it usually involves a four year old mentality of clicking on the nearest shiny object. I would like to think of myself as an intrigued reader of the various political issues and I do my fair share of duty-reading (ie the latest on health care reform, Afghanistan, etc.), but without the tactile paper artifact in my hand I fall victim to my ADD.
Enter news roulette. The ultimate way to satisfy the four year old and seeker of knowledge in all of us. It’s so nice to get out of the rhythm of going straight to the art+design section or feeling guilty about clicking on the fun image just to the right of the article about the new asshole stealing our money.
