And more in the 'people continue to surprise me' category of linkage:

Wisconsin Representative refuses tax-payer funded health coverage until every one of his constituents is insured.
Cheap publicity stunt? Maybe. Politics as usual? Possible. A step in the right direction? I think so.

Opponents carry injured home-run hitter around bases.
Pretty god damned heartwarming.

The baseball story is probably one of the most awesome things I've seen recently. It reminds me of an essay I read a while back on the importance of sports - they're not important for kids to play because they represent real life, as coaches would have us believe, but precisely because real life isn't about fairness and sportsmanship, and so it's important for kids (and adults!) to have that sense that there's something in life where these traits are encouraged.
