Some of my Favorite Things

Let's see... Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens... What are some of my other favorite things? Good news sources! Specifically, that wonderful British paper, The Economist. I enjoy a non-American perspective on the world that isn't necessarily anti-America, and I like their droll use of humor. For example, a recent article about Russia sending warships to Venezuela to perform joint exercises notes that:

The public response from Washington has been a barely-stifled yawn. The State Department noted that if the Russians were indeed coming, then “they found a few ships that can make it that far.”

I love that they found a way to make me laugh at my fear that we're heading towards a new cold war!
