Wednesday evening roundup

The Economist on Khordorkovsky's compelling speech.

Monsanto dug its own grave (and others).

Bedbugs are feeling the ostracism.

The other day I ran into a colleague who has family in Haiti. I looked for her shortly after the earthquake, but she was out of the office. When I asked whether her family had been effected, she said everyone was fine. Then, she elaborated: everyone survived. Some are hurting because they lost homes and/or very close friends, but they survived, therefore they're fine.

Now could people like that woman whose mother wrote to Amy yesterday stop whining about how being single is making them near-suicidal?

I whine about some stupid bs, but keep in mind that perspective is key.
