While attempting to name a running mate this week, Mitt Romney unintentionally crowned the "next President" of the United States. Romney's announcement of Paul Ryan as his Veep choice may not bode well for the nation's elderly and poor, but it may inspire more meaningful political dialogue.
Olympic pride took many forms this week. Saudi Arabia took an itsy bitsy baby step in the direction of women's rights, fielding its first female athletes ever. Meanwhile, British Olympic tennis champ Andy Murray let his pet terriers show off his U.K. pride and his Olympic bling.
In Uganda, we witnessed a very different and moving brand of pride, as courageous LGBT Ugandans risked arrest and personal safety to stage their first-ever gay pride parade.
We were all excited to see amazing images and video of Curiosity's landing on Mars, although the rover itself had more than a few sarcastic Tweets to share about its outer space adventure.
Back on Earth, we marveled at the salaries of our 15 highest earning authors, and we discovered two Australian musicians who haven't found great wealth, but who have found love and some amazing harmonies.
As always, thanks for reading.
