What I Hate About Political Coverage
Paul Krugman discusses political reporting: “There are two big problems with this kind of reporting. The important problem is that it fails to inform the public about what matters. In 2004, very few people had any idea about the very real differences between the candidates on domestic policy. It remains to be seen whether 2008 is any better.
The other problem, which has become very apparent lately, is that this sort of coverage often fails even on its own terms, because the way things look to inside-the-Beltway pundits can be very different from the way they look to real people”

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Campaign
“A PB&J will slow global warming.
Next time you have one you’ll reduce your carbon footprint by saving the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions over an average animal-based lunch like a hamburger, a tuna sandwich, grilled cheese, or chicken nuggets.
That’s about forty percent of what you’d save driving around for the day in a hybrid instead of a standard sedan. “
