If my nonprofit (AMP/Infoshop) were better funded (hint, hint), one thing I'd do would be to get a subscription to the NY Times and Wall Street Journal. The former is more important while a WSJ subscription would allow me to refer to myself as a "Wall Street Journal reading anarchist from Leawood, KS." Okay, it's also a good source as to what the ruling class is really thinking.
