Politics:
Foreign Policy on finding a historical metaphor to explain Iranian politics / Foreign Affairs on Financial Re-Regulation (the small steps rather than the large ones) now that the crisis does not make the headlines every day / Eurozine and the Blätter für deutsche und internationale Politik on France's deportation of Romas / SWP on the very likely independence of Southern Sudan after the referendum in January 2011.
Pop Culture:
Neil Gaiman talks to the NY Mag's The Vulture about Twitter Etiquette and a lot of other interesting stuff (sadly not Doctor Who, though) / Slate on the resurrection of GIFs (animated ones) on the internets but the article doesn't really link the phenomenon to fandom (they are like emoticons that also give an insight into the pop cultural identity of whoever uses them, not that I do, but I know which one I WOULD USE if I did) / Foals play a Daytrotter session / SyFy just picked up a Steampunky webseries called Riese / Talking about webseries and how they are sometimes way better than tv shows: Out with Dad which just finished its first season is a really good example / Belle and Sebastian's new record Write about Love is accompanied by a series but more importantly, the title track features vocals by Carey Mulligan. File under "when awesome things collide". Also, how does almost all of this somehow link back to Doctor Who? (in other news, Lily Loveless apparently scored a guest role on The Sarah Jane Adventures. If they somehow work in the Doctor and Amy Pond, my head will quite possibly explode.)

Hey, thanks for the compliment about our show!
You are really welcome! The conversation between Rose and Kenny in the last episode was so lovely; I can't really think of any other film or series that has depicted a coming-out in such a moving way. Good luck with the next season!
