Margin Driving - squeezing as many words as possible onto a page of text

The real question is -- what is the new presidential policy on Woolly Mammoths? Apparently, they are coming to a zoo near you.  Michael Crichton would be proud...  

Its worth noting that Van Jones has a smart piece in the recent issue of The Nation on a "Green New Deal" that takes a community-centric perspective on the same issues about leveraging this crisis for our collective economic and environmental benefit... there also has been an ongoing thread on Worldchanging about the same issues for past two years that I would encourage people to seek out - the articles are too many to cite, but all worth perusing 

How did Natalie Portman show up on FoD before GOOD?

What an incredible feature.  Hard to vouch for the credibility of the methodology.  For example, McCain is running awfully close in Caracas, even leading in Algiers...   I also would guess that Dittoheads will find their worst fears reinforced by the strong preferences for the Democratic ticket in Syria and Iran.  Nonetheless, its pretty arresting to see the global case for Obama exemplified in this sea of dark blue.   

when buying books, consider doing so via our friends at Better World Books because they offer free shipping, carbon-offfset every order, and they support book drives and collect used books via relationships with almost 1500 libraries and 2000 college campuses and partners across the US.  These donated books have resulted in more than $4.5 million for literacy programs and educational efforts across the US, plus saved a lot of books that otherwise would have been discarded.  

I nominate Mos Def for Secretary for Health and Human Services in the Obama administration - who should fill out his cabinet?
