Some Thoughts: "The Press Effect," Cheney v GAO, David Letterman, and Freddy v Jason. On the Rez by Ian Frazier is a pretty good book on Native American life (called "Indians" in the book without any comment on the name potentially being offensive), centering on the Oglala Sioux. Another pretty good thing is watching the NY Mets play good baseball, including taking two out of three vs. the Braves in Atlanta. I don't expect miracles, but next season might not be half bad.
