The World Votes Now




Seems like the whole world wants to have a vote in the US elections. Over here in Europe coverage and reactions are stronger than to anything local. CNN's been advertising an international discussion site with a slightly paternalistic tag line feeling sorry for everybody not being able to vote. And there's this new website that lets the rest of the world at least mock vote. Last I checked Germany voted 96% for Obama. No surprise there.

Must-Read




This is one of those rare books whose author can rightfully claim Chuck D's legendary put-down: "I've been places you'll never be". My fellow travel fiend and best man Richard Fleming has published his first book. The title says it all: "Walking to Guantanamo" he tells the story of his extraordinary trip crossing Cuba by foot, bike and other local means of transportation. The reviewer in the Library Journal says it best: "He is brutally honest, even when it shows him in an unflattering light. This is perhaps the most accurate and readable work on Cuba this reviewer has seen."
