As if jogging wasn't bad enough (Dec 27 2004 23:48 GMT) - Now we have to contend with this new "extreme" sport: To devotees of a French-born extreme sport known as parkour, that park bench you jog past every day is much more than just a seat. It can be an impromptu hurdle or pommel horse. The sport, which resembles gymnastics without the gym, or skateboarding without a skateboard, depends as much on your view of the world around you as your skill in negotiating the terrain. The name means obstacle course in French and the goal of the sport's traceurs, also known as freerunners, is to run, jump, vault or climb over obstacles in the most fluid manner possible. |

Exurban Threat to Democrats? The Minnesota Study (Dec 27 2004 23:46 GMT) - These concerns [distrust of government action] are strongest in exurban areas, where residents are trying to escape the perceived challenges of urban living--poor public schools, increasing racial and ethnic diversity, crime and a high tax burden. Here we find the greatest skepticism about the role of government and the role of immigrants in society, and the greatest reluctance in making a public investment in helping the most disadvantaged or in public services more broadly Emphasis mine The above is an excerpt from a Greeberg Survey of the Minnesota electorate. And it touches upon a major concern expressed by A Gilas Girl and I upon the potentially deleterious effect of the growth of exurbia on Democratic political fortunes (my concern) and upon the ability to build a consensus towards a progressive agenda (mine and AGG's concern) in a bittergirl's diary. I wrote this bit there: I think A Gilas Girl is mistaken in ascribing [certain] motives for the choice of the sprawl lifestyle. |

Yuschenko Wins Ukraine Re-Vote (Dec 27 2004 23:46 GMT) - Confirming Armando's earlier exit poll story, the New York Times reports that Ukrainian opposition candidate Viktor Yuschenko has won his country's re-vote election, 52-44. (Over 98% of the vote has been counted; a final tally is due soon.) There were apparently no independent reports of the kind of fraud we saw last time around, when Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich "won" by a 49-47 margin. To be sure, the Yanukovich camp has been complaining about voter intimidation, but, according to the NYT, "the Ukrainian Committee of Voters, which deployed 10,000 observers, issued a statement late Sunday in which is said it had not documented the kinds of 'massive falsifications' seen in the first two rounds. |
