Bushball
I was flabbergasted when I heard it myself, and NewsBusters has posted a clip of Kerri Walsh thanking President Bush after she and Misty May won the gold in Beijing. I thought it was awesome and it's nice to see the guy get a little public support.

Barely Legal
I just heard about this on NPR-
http://www.amethystinitiative.org/
The Amethyst Initiative was started by the former president of Middlebury. The organization's goal is to lower the drinking age in the U.S. to 18.
I don't know too many people who think you should be able to vote and die for your country but not buy a beer. The federal government has been pushing the states around for decades by threatening to withhold critical highway funding if they resist the 21 year-old drinking age.
I was pretty psyched to see Tufts president, Larry Bacow, on the list of signatories.
