]]> Our recent road-trip from Oregon to SoCal was made entirely bearable (16hrs, 2 in horrific Orange Crush traffic) by listening to nearly every episode of the BBC radio series, The Unbelievable Truth, which magically appeared on some mp3 cds in our car.

Hosted by David Mitchell, it was the perfect fix for a couple of QI fans like us. As a special bonus, the theme song is that jaunty little tune that was burned into my brain via many hours of LittleBigPlanet…

(Ed. That would be “Jim Noir - My Patch”

]]> …I’d enjoy FOX NEWS more.

The institutional dynamics of American politics favor doing less in general, and yet more in the pursuit and preservation of powerful, monied interests. Nobody familiar with the long, slow, costly political battles for abolition, labor equality, consumer protection, civil rights and women’s rights would dare argue otherwise.
