Reading the news backwards
Catching up on the news I missed while I was on vacation has its amusing moments.
Today's news: "With 58 percent of the ballots counted, [leftist Rafael] Correa had a 65 percent to 35 percent lead over banana tycoon Alvaro Noboa" in the race for President of Ecuador. In other words, a landslide victory.
Saturday's headline and news: "Frustrating tie expected in Ecuador as two outsiders vie for presidency." "Many analysts predict a dead heat."
