WASHINGTON — Call it the Youtube Presidential Campaign.

Widespread Internet access is likely to fundamentally change the 2008 presidential race in fundraising, candidate interactions and, most importantly, the messages voters hear. Just five years ago, only 17 percent of American households had broadband Internet connections. Now the figure is nearly half, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

FINAL FANTASY FABLES: CHOCOBO TALES
For: Nintendo DS
From: Square Enix
ESRB Rating: Everyone (comic mischief, fantasy violence)

There are two types of gamers, and their division is assured during the "Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales" title sequence — an adorable, hand-drawn animated sequence that either will charm the your pants off or send your lunch right back out your mouth. "Tales" never hedges its artistic bets, and the cuteness persists throughout, so plan accordingly depending on what side of that fence you sit.

From the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica:
ANTHONY TROLLOPE (1815-1882), English novelist, was born in London, on the 24th of April 1815. His father, Thomas Anthony Trollope (1780-1835), a barrister who had been fellow of New College, Oxford, was reduced to poverty by unbusinesslike habits and injudicious speculation, and in 1829 Anthony's mother, Frances Milton Trollope (1780-1863), went with her husband to the United States to open a small fancy-goods shop in Cincinnati. The enterprise was a failure, but her three years' stay in that country resulted in a book on the Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), of which she gave an unflattering account that aroused keen resentment.

Returning to England, her husband was compelled to flee the country in order to escape his creditors, and Mrs. Trollope thereafter supported him in Bruges until his death by her incessant literary work. She published some books of travel, most of which are coloured by prejudice, and many novels, among the best known of which are The Vicar of Wrexhill (1837) and the Widow Barnaby (1839), studies in that vein of broad comedy in which lay her peculiar gift. She wrote steadily for more than twenty years, until her death, at Florence, on the 6th of October 1863.
