"Thanks to what may be an unprecedented agreement between the Kennedy Library Foundation and toymaker Hasbro Inc., consumers willing to pay $30 may be able to buy an action figure of JFK in PT-109 fatigues this fall. ... The JFK figure ''will be the first of a number of Kennedy products'' On Martha's Vineyard, some Islanders used to celebrate the Annual Ted Kennedy Swim Classic, swimming the channel between Edgartown and Chappy. At every event there would be t-shirts with a new motto like "Not even Teddy swam it twice" and "If Ted can have a fifth, so can we."

Ian McCoy on the Canadian backpack

"In any nation, citizens are instilled with a sense of pride, but we so often forget that pride is numbered among the seven deadly sins. We are quick to recognize its excess in other nationalities.

"I'd have a hard time looking Gore or Bush in the eye and not feel dirty, but yes, if they got the Internet religion, I could support them too. I'm basically a one-issue man." Fair enough, though I hasten to point out that single-issue voters are as much of a detriment to the idea of political governance as anything else these days. Politics, by nature, can not be a single-issue affair.
