Jim and Maureen Tusty, makers of the documentary film "The Singing Revolution," have been awarded the Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana by the government of Estonia. President Toomas Hendrick Ilves will present the award, which is the highest honor for foreigners. "The Singing Revolution" tells the wonderful story of the peaceful revolution that overcame Communism in Estonia. It's well worth your time.

now that it's brought up

my youngest daughter's middle school was entirely full of "GObama" t-shirts after the inauguration. She thought it was hilarious, but I tried to tell her that she doesn't know anything about Obama. After the first hour, she ran away trying to tell me she needed to do her homework.

demography of stock market

Mr. Barone,

I have waited for a comprehensive breakdown of the 57,000,000 non Obama voters. I have hypothesized that this group constitutes the bulk of the middle class group that has lost so much in the stock market and are the hardworking Americans who are struggling to pay mortgages on homes that are either underwater or close to it. These people are those who have little confidence in the stimulus package and are therefore unwilling to invest what little they have left in a market that appears to be ready for another dive. Have you done any studies that would shed light on this group?

We had a revolution too

at the ballot box to overcome Republicanism.
