A piece of trivia: The Economist has never endorsed the candidate of the party currently in the White House. (In 1996, they even endorsed Dole.) So you'd figure they would be endorsing Obama this time around, and they have. With IMO the most enthusiastic endorsement they've yet given. [link]

Which puppy is making all the noise? and I feel bad for the one who is curled up by himself.
weren't there 6 before? Did one break out?
ok, he has returned.
6th puppy got put back in. And looked very Put Out about it for a bit. He's now pawing at/nomming on his littermate's face.
My god, did that same puppy make a break for it again? You think he'd have learned the first time.
Puppy cam won't work on this computer, this is not fair!
That puppy is going to be hell on four paws.
I was just telling my coworker the same thing about Obama's staff and Flat Stanley -- it's not like other famous people don't have staff who could write a letter!
I just made a bunch of calls for MoveOn, at some "calling party." I turned out to be stuck in the middle of the age range for political activism -- half the people there were 20s, the other half were late-middle age. Ah well.
