The Recession Hits Home
I'd love to spend some time in the developing world. (Wouldn't it be great if we could find a way to "green" China, India and Africa, while helping to alleviate global poverty?)
Ken Blackwell for RNC Chair
J. Kenneth Blackwell, whose administration of the '04 election made Katherine Harris look like Mary Tyler Moore, is pushing to become chair of the RNC. I support his selection wholeheartedly.
Modern-Day Pyramids
I don't really understand why we're paying so much attention to Bernard Madoff. As we're discovering, almost the entire economy is the moral equivalent of a Ponzi scheme.
Things Fall Apart
Does Blago -- and the rest of the white collar criminals of late -- know something we don't? It's as if the risk of getting caught was outweighed by their panic to get as much as they could before it's all gone.
America's Choice: Destruction or Construction
America is suffering. She is, however, afflicted with an avoidable condition she brought on herself, like a hangover. Only this one's interminable and internationally contagious.
How Sustainable is the Fish at Your Market?
Many supermarkets are continuing to stock "red list" seafood like orange roughy, swordfish, and Chilean sea bass -- some of the world's most critically imperiled species.
Election Withdrawal
Clearly the entire country is coming to terms with the outcome of the election. Many are getting back to their routines, others are more engaged in current events.
Finally Seeing Clearly
I was advised to take a break from political clutter and that peculiar kind of tunnel vision that develops when we focus too closely on any tiny part of the huge world around us.
Post Election: How To Restore Your Personal Operating System
The election season has been a long and sometimes difficult journey. Many of us have been training our minds and bodies to get into some pretty self-defeating habits.
A Provisional Irony
Trying not to lose my cool, I explained to a poll worker that someone very famous I'd seen on television had claimed that provisional ballots often get thrown out.
Election Morning 2008
Being pleased to make this vote, this connection with my land again will stay with me for as long as what forever might be.
Big Think Presents: What's Your Plan?
If the election of 2000 reminded us that every vote counts, 2008 has provoked a wholesale political awakening. Across the globe, US politics is, as Tina Brown might say, the big fat story.
My Prayer for Election Day
We pray, regardless of the outcome of the election tomorrow, that we will find the ways to build bridges and work together for the common good of the country we all dwell in.

Good news Larry, President Obama!
We need an update, feeling better now?
I have "election elbow." I really do. It is like "tennis elbow" but it is caused from the Huffington Post, CNN, and various Electoral map sites. My arm hurts like hell ... my right arm ... the "mouse" arm. My husband just called. I am supposed to be cleaning the house (it looks like hell). I lied. He said, "You better not be in "analysis paralysis" (meaning that I can't move because I am stuck in front of the computer doing electoral map calculations). I better go ... he'll be home soon and I don't want to get "caught."
Don't think that Americans are alone in this. In Canada, we're studying your election like my brother studied for his Bar Mitzvah. The anxiety is high, but we're hoping for a big pay day. Four more years of Republican war-mongering spells trouble for Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan, not to mention continued instability worldwide. Hey, we know we aren't in charge of anything. We're that nudnik next-door neighbor who stops to chat when you're late for work, the yenta who calls you up to tell you that your cat threw up on her lawn. Still, we mean well, and we're hoping that the Americans make the intelligent choice.
In Canada, federal elections last 30 days-- like a bikini wax, one good rip and it's over. That two-year Extreme Brazilian must be a real bummer.
I clocked out early, voted early, only watching the results now.
ICE, Larry and all Larry's fans.... if stress makes you eat and you hate the thought of McCain Palin making you fatter and more likely to die of a stroke or heart attack, may I recommend what I've discovered, get you some unsweetened tea, great eating ice, (like Sonic ice) and some splenda with one gram of fiber per pkg. Stir well and enjoy. The ice gives you something to crunch and the fiber in the tea will help offset the high fat of whatever real foods you're over eating as you read this.
My favorite stress-eating foods both seem to be red, grape tomatoes and fresh strawberries. Not together, but you can nosh on them for days without gaining an ounce around your middle.
Also - I bought two bottles of champagne today. One in case Obama wins and I get to celebrate. Two in case the republicans steal this election and I need to get drunk off my tail.
Another week, Lord, lord how can we survive another week.
