Good morning.
Check out some of the week's best editorial cartoons compiled by Bob Geiger. George Bush gets some attention. And, Sarah Palin. That's a dangerous duo, but they give ample material to cartoonists.
The poem of the week is "Looking Around, Believing" by Gary Soto "who reminds us that we can always stop to find the world miraculous."
Great news from Alaska that Begich has widened his lead to 1,022 votes. We'll know for sure by mid-week, but it's looking good:
There are roughly 24,000 votes left to be counted, and the counting will resume, and presumably conclude, early next week, according to the Begich campaign.Let's get started...
Of the remaining votes, roughly 15,000 are in the Anchorage area (a swing area in the race) and another 8,000 are in the Juneau area, which should be Begich territory.
