This I Believe : In Praise of the 'Wobblies'

Every Monday, NPR promotes the series "This I Believe," originally done by Edward R. Murrow. (BTW, if you haven't seen Good Night and Good Luck, go see it right away.) Can you encapsulate what you believe in five minutes or six paragraphs? (Before you say no, think of the Apostles' Creed.) This particular story resonated with me, as does Murrow's original introduction to the series. What seems to be most important is that it is belief, not doubt, that defines who we are. (Unless you're Penn Jillette).

Map: Yushchenko vs. Yanukovych

This is a map of Yushchenko vs. Yanukovych, round 2.0. In the popular style of coloring candidates, it shows where each candidate's respective strengths are: generally, Yush in the west and Yanu in the east. (It's too small to see percentages; go to the above link for that.)

Our British election endorsement

Interesting - the Economist favors another Labour victory in the UK's general election.

“Didn’t bring a book? We’ve got you covered.”

The airline announcement then goes on to tout the portable video player they have for rent. It plays TV shows and movies. Hmm? Why not a little book collection for borrowing? Could even be a special “airplane” size for portability. Also known as a paperback.
