And now, the West Bank….

On Friday, “NOW” on PBS ran an excerpt of a film the talented Michal Zilberman did. We were delighted to read the responses on the “NOW” message boards, where we found ourselves to be beloved.
What’s our response to the response? Check out our new episode of “Political Graffiti,” where we start with Gaza and finish with the West Bank settlements.

Obama, The Environmental President-elect

The anticipated demand for newspaper keepsakes of Tuesday’s election raised alarm bells at Freecyle NYC, the cyber-swap freebie message board that turns one person’s trash into another’s treasure. (We scored some boxes and bubble wrap from there last spring for a big office move.) Seems that multiple requests for Wednesday’s papers threatened to jam the message boards and Freecycle’s moderators sent an email today asking that people hold off on posts asking for day-old papers:
Freecycle’s mission is to keep stuff out of landfills, and newspapers would be recycled anyway, and valuable ones as these are either kept as treasures or sold, so we moderators have to decide whether the extra hundred wanted posts for the same item might actually do some good or are just clogging our mailing list and all our inboxes uselessly.
That, and the papers are selling for over $100 on eBay. Freecycle’s moderator says memento seekers should “realize that if you don’t have yesterday’s historical newpaper already, the chances of getting one on Freecycle right now are as low as getting a computer or a car.”
As long as they are staying out of the garbage.

In Schaumberg, Ill., Mike Martinez found this display of a McCain supporter who, Martinez assumes, "either has too many themes in his yard at once, or is making a commentary on the state of McCain's campaign."
