Of Mittens and Ballot Boxes

Read in Time magazine today that 2005 was - on average - the warmest year Planet Earth has seen in 10,000 years. I KNEW those stuffy-looking Time experts were older than they said they were. (You know you're old when you start using fake IDs to pretend you're younger...)

It was also a big political issue: news on two important elections that each wrapped up recently in Canada and in the Middle East. The parallels are so interesting to me. Each country is a case of people who are sick of corruption in their country's dominant political party, and they're looking for a fresh group who will take action. And - on election day - those people took a risk. Here's hoping the parallels between the Conservatives and Hamas end there.
